By MAI BICE MERRIFIELD International Illustrated News Writer DETROIT — Design and engineering departments of every major automobile manufacturer are working at top speed and production units in most plants are swinging into high gear to turn out 1937 model cars. So successful was the 1936 innovation of bringing out the new models in the late fall, rather than tiie spring, that this procedure is being followed again this year. Orders received last fall on the new 1936 models started automobile plants working during a period which in previous years was a dull one for the automotive industry. 25,500,000 Cars in Use Automobile manufacturers are ' confident that the coming year will be one of the most prosperous in history for the industry. It was recently predicted by R. H. Grant, 'ice president of General Motors, that the American public could use 35,000,000 cars before the saturation point is reached. This nno re is in com Parison to 25,500,0 cars and trucks which were registered at the beginning of 1936. Several factors are taken Into account by officials in predicting -h unprecedented boom for the automobile industry. Cars averfiscd 3630 in price iaat year in to 8895 in 1929 brtngS an attractive, superior type of

machine within the range of an increased number of families. Improvements in design and engineering features have also brought about a more rapid turnover in sales, since drivers are loathe to keep their “antiquated crates’’ when they try out the new models. Sales records show that the domestic sales of passenger cars and trucks have shown a monthly improvement of 2.7 per cent during the past three years. The rate of future expansion is tied up with several factors. Better Roads Needed If the total number of automotive vehicles in the United States does reach the anticipated peak of 35,000,000, it will be necessary to provide more and better roads to meet with the increased traffic burdens. Legislation governing drivers’ licenses and operation of vehicles will also have to be enacted and enforced in a judicious manner. Considerable impetus is also being given the automotive industry from the increasing demand for trailers. It is now estimated that several hundred thousand people are either living part of the year or the entire 12 months in these "homes on wheels”. The depression has tended to increase this “nomadic tribe” who journey from section to section, seeking more favorable employment conditions, .

GAIN IS SEEN IN CORN HELD Monthly Crop Report Shows Gain; Farm Work Piles Up — Lafayette, Oct. 14 —(UP)—(lndiana corn is expected to yield an average of 25 bushels to the acre, i or a total production of 111,900,000 bushels against 160,474,000 bushels last year, according to the monthly crop report of M. M- Justin, head i of the bureau of agricultural stallsi tin of the Purdue University AgriI cultural Experiment Station and the I U. S. Department of Agriculture. This production is forecast despite .the drouth of ear4*t_summer over much of the state, the gain being made because of heavy rains in August and September. Most of the I I orn was beyond frost damage by October 1. Rains have tended to pile up farm - work, and the coo>perative crop reporters in every courty of the state reported that the demand for labor is higher than the supply for the first time in many months. The yield of oats was estimated i at 27 bushels per acre, and the production for 1936 was placed at 36,j 072,000 bushels. Stocks of oats on farms were estimated to be 27,415,- . 000 bushels against 28,185,000 bushi els a year ago- Stocks of corn on farms was placed at 11.386,000 bushels against 3,598,000 bushels a : year ago. Stocks of wheat on farms this year were estimated to be 11, , 312,000 bushels. 657,-000 bushels less ' than a year ago, despite the fact that wheat production this year was ' 32,320,000 bushels, almost seven million bushels above the average. Condition of potatoes was five points above last month because ot late rains in the muck land of northern Indiana and the indicated yield i is 68 bushels per acre against 80 i last year, giying a production of 4.216,000 bushels. The sweet potato crop also improved during September with prospects for a yield of 80 bushels per acre. Condition of soybeans was one point higher last month with an indicated acreage of soybeans lower than last year.
