AT THE DEMONSTRATION
Little is Known About This Tractor
and All Are Curious To See What
the Automobile King Developed.


Henry Ford will show his tractor
at the Wisconsin Tractor demonstra-
ton, September 4 to s. No one out
side of Mr.. Fords confidence knows
anything definite about the size or
type Of machine that he is perfect
ing, but Mr.. Ford has promised to

Are you planning on being one of
the thousands who are coming to Wis
consin's big tractor demonstration at
Madison for the first week in Septem-
Der? You can't afford to miss it. 1t
! promises TO be the biggest agricul-
tural event ever seen in this state
Over one hundred and twenty-five
going to be here with all types and
sizes of tractors.
You will want to see this demon
stTation whether you live on the fari1.
or in the city. Imagine $50 tractors
working in one field at the same time.
All of them will be coming or going
turning or crossing, and each machine
will leave long, straight, even brown
burrows behind it. Some of these
tractors will turn only two or three
burrows, but some will turn a dozen,
because there are going to be tract
ors of all sizes and types. Besides
| blowing, the demonstrators are going
| to show that the tractor can do all
the other kinds of farm work such as
narrowing, discing, cultivating, ETC.,
| This is to be an actual field demon
stration and not an exhibit.
Plan to get to Madison in the morn
| ing if you can, for there will be plenty
TO keep you busy. When you pack
your grip for the trip to Madison, be
sure you take with you the idea that
you are going to have good time.
Madison will take care of all the peo-
| pie who can come to the demonstra-
ton. The housing committee is see
| ing to it that there will be rooms at
reasonable rates enough for all, and
restaurants and hotels in the city can
take care of large crowd.
You need not worry about finding
the grounds. The committee of Mad
ison's business men will see to it that
you do not miss the headquarters
grounds that will be located on i axe
| MOnOna, one of the lakes surround
ing Madison. No matter which rail-
road you may come in on, you can
take either a street car, autO-bus, or
boat direct from any of the stations
| to the grounds. If you come in your
own automobile, you will find good
roads leading to Madison and an ex-
cellent one going from the city to
| headquarter grounds. The pillow land
| is across the road from headquarters.
The road from town will be placarded
SO plainly that you cannot miss your
way.
There will be plenty of amusement
in the evenings provided by the man
agement of visitors. There will be
band on the grounds to furnish mu-
sic. A local organization of the mil
| tia will patrol the grounds to pre-
serve order and to see that everybody
has an equal chance to see everything
| that is going on, as well as to pro-
vide parking space and watch the
automobiles.
! There are a number of interesting
| things to be seen in and around Mad
| ison. You can well afford to take a
day extra to enjoy the lakes and sur
rounding country. The city itself off
ers the capitol, many large manufact-
uring plants, the University grounds
and buildings, the state fish hatchery,
the state historical library, three
beautiful parks, and the zoo in Villas
park.
September 4, 5, Z and 8 at Mad
ison will be a week Of pleasure and
instruction for everyone, and there
will be something to do or see every
minute from morning to night.
