BRIGHTER DAYS FOR FARMERS
Recent Demonstration of Ford's Farm
Tractor Promises to Relieve Druid
gerry and the Labor Problem

On his farm near Dearborn, Mich.
Henry Ford this summer is devoting
most of his time to a curious vehicle
that looks like an engine from one Of
his touring cars mounted on a set of
wagon wheels-only these wheels
have extra wide tires which. on tie
rear pair, are heavily ridged. Climb
ing to the spring seat behind the en-
cine. this man who has taken the
automobile out Of the luxury class.
steers his latest achievement. the farm
tractor. through his felds. Sor.e
times he hooks il to it a plow which.
thus hitched. turns an eight inch fur.
row in unbroken ground with as much
ease as a knife slips through cheese.
Again, it pulls twenty four disk
harrow. weighted for four-lnch cut
ting. Or a multiple cutivator. which
1t sraws through rows Of corn at four
miles an hour. Or .ake, or any i'm
plement needed in working the soil.
When the task in hand is finished he
hooks the tractor to a load Of hay and
pulls it TO town in less than half the
time team would take. And next
morning bitches his gasoline horse to
big wagon and brings out three or
Tour tons of coal, or any other ma
terial that awaits hauling.
Feed Problem Reduced to a Minimum.
Before starting the DAYS at sun-un
ne dosen't have TO feed and water the
horses. He dosen't have TO worry
about Dams" heaves or ''Joe's''
left hind leg. There's no stable
work TO be done. No feeding ard
rest at noon. No anxiety where the
weather is hot and humid. No bed
ding the stalls. No feeding and
watering at night. When plowinp.
his legless horse pulls up slope lust
about as fast as on a level. On an
average it does the work Of four
strong horses. And il never gets
tired. On his farm Mr.. Ford has
eight or ten Of these tractors at work
lie IS testing them in every conceiv.
able way. And over in Detroit he
is duplicating his present vast plant
and as soon as the acres OF buildings
are ready he will begin the manufac-
ture Of his farm tractor on a scale az
large as that Of his automobile.
Tractor at $500 Each Equal a Horses
His present plan is to turn OUT
900, 600 Of them the first year and
place them on the market at a price
reported 10 be about 5000 apiece |
This is not an advertisement for
Mr.. Ford's latest product. 1t simp- |
ly IS a somewhat detailed announce
ment Of what probably will take its
place in history as the most import |
ant achievement in agriculture since
the invention of the reaper by Obed
hussey in 1888. Indeed, it. is safe
to say that if Mr.. Ford's farm trae-
tor tultlls the expectations of it's
sponsor and every expert who has
examined il says it Willis intro
duction into farm life will rank "a
an event second in Importance only "a

freight on a bale OF cotton ranged from

The South should be particularly in
