Light setback, at first.
1t seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide into
Gaslight that 600 different kinds of tanks" and
"Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented and
marketed for the purpose, by about many different
people

invented and sold by people who knew more about
TMgOoye than they did about Gas-ptdking.
The Calcium Carbide was all right all the time
but $50 of the machines for turning into Gas were
all wrong all the time.
So Acetylene Gas "got bad name though it is
clear enough noy that It never deserved at any time
1t was like selling Wood Stoves to burn Hard Coal
In and then blaming the Coal for not burning.

then the trigger be pulled by person who didn't

But, that's no fault of the Ammunition-is it?
Well, finally the Insurance Companies got after
these $50 odd makes of "Acetylene Machines" that
wouldn't Acetylate and the Insurance Board made
investigation of all Generators that submitted to
them
Then, out Of the GOO odd Machines" patented
only about 70 permitted by the Insurance Board

THE object of these open-air
meetings that have been holding
has been to encourage the farmer

a suitable reward for the efforts
he puts out next year. The talks that
/ have given were not confined to
cotton raising: but | have endeavor-

words, instead of planting several
acres TO cotton he could reap more
ready money by planting said acre
age In alfalfa, corn or fruit, by so
doing he would not be confronted by
a small price for his cotton next year
and would be in position to say
