STURGESS SPEAKS
TO IMPLEMENT MEN
Editor TwentAth Century Farmer
Discusses Methods of Machin-
cry Distribution.
CORN KING ON SEED TESTING

That the present machinery Of dis
tribution is unsatisfactory was held
by T. f. Sturgess, editor of the
Twentieth Century Farmer, in talk
before the Midwest Retail Imple-
ment Dealers association, in session
at the Auditorium. He cited the
three methods of distributing farm
implements today, through the retail
dealer, through the collective buying
organizations of the farmers, and
through direct mail order business.
present" he said, "and each must recog-
nize in the other a legitimate competitor.
The one best able to satisfy the larger
number OF customers Is the one that will
eventually win out and survive.
THE manufacturer must identify him

TENS 1t is up to the manufacturer to
make up his mind which method best

Service by the Dealer.
Touching on the sphere of the dealer.
Mr.. Sturgoss said, THE dealer can render
a service in his community that the
farmer is willing to pay for IL he makes
il worth while. The up-to date dealer
can keep in close touch with the types
OF machinery that are coming out and
knows what kind or type is best adapted
TO the needs of his community. New
machinery and new improvements are
constantly coming out. Most of them are
good and worth while. Others, however,
are put out merely to satisfy the wild
idea of some dreamer who puts them out
for a short time TO get the money and
then quits the business. The dealer can
do more to render service in his COM
munity than merely study the types of
machinery. He can study soil conditions
in the different localities of his territory.
decide what machines are best adapted
TO certain localities and then sell his
machinery accordingly"
