utilizing these great natural energies
for the production of light, heat and
power.
A traction plow run by wind power
has been invented by H. M. Fletcher,
of Plainview, Tex. Some years ago
he began experimenting with wind
power for operating plows and other
agricultural machinery. He now
claims to have perfected mechanism
which makes ii possible to put the
wind at work in a practical way on
the farm. Seated on his "wind-plow"
he made trip Of 70 miles in the vi
cinity of his home with the wind as
the only motive power.
The winds are usually strong and
steady in the Texas panhandle"
where Mr. Fletcher lives, so that hia
machine is especially well adapted for
use in that section. By means of fans
ingeniously adjusted, and SO arranged

respective Of the quarter from which
the wind happens to be blowing. His
early experiments convinced him that
the problem Of lost motion was the
one which presented the most diff cult
features, but he obviated that be lie
yising a special kind of gearing by
which the outfit is moved rapidly and
with sufficient power to cut a 1O-inch
furrew, even though the wind force
may be comparatively small.
1t is said that F1etchey's neighbors
gathered about him while he worked
on his pillow and laughed at him, just
as Noah's neighbors did whel. he was
building the ark. But like Noah he
kept on with the work and followed
the plan outlined until be attained
success.
That he was successful is shown by
an account which says that no greater
wind pressure is necessary for oyer
ating this plow than is necessary for
flying kite.
