Good Farm Machinery,

A. l.. McClelland, travelling for a South
Bend, Ind, agricultural implement firm,
thus talked to a Post-Dispatch reporter a
day or two ago.
81 have just returned from a trip through
the farming districts of Missouri, includ-
ing johnson, Saline, Lafayette, Pettis and
Cass counties, where have been for the
purpose of selling farming implements
and agricultural machinery, and making
collections for that already sold. The re-
suit of my trip has convinced me that the
Missouri farmers are about the most pros
porous in the country, ut least in the
west, which is the only section that l
know anything about. The mount of
improved machinery bought in this state
since the beginning OF the year il between
two and three times as great as was the
case last year., which in its time was the
argest on record. Not only is the guam
tity large, but the quality excellent, the
farmers wanting good rather than cheap
machines. In a long experience of the
trade | nave always found this to be in
dicative Of prosperity. Where farmers
had little money they wanted make-shift
machinery that would cost little. Mis-
souri, used to buy a good deal of this, but
now very little is wanted, as buyers will
not be satisfied with anything short OF
the best. have had an experience that
seldom occurs, that is inferior machinery
has been offered me at Il low price in ex
change for better. This has in many
cases been accepted, and the poorer
machinery sold in the north and north
west. Another marked feature is the
number OF men paying cash. No long
credits are asked, all bills are promptly
paid and there is every evidence of pros
perity."
