TRACTOR SHOW AT ENID.

The second annual Southwest Trac
tor Show at Enid, Oklahoma, July III
"A. is likely to be a much greater az
fair than that OF last year. Interest is
especially keen because it is the only
independent tractor demonstration Of
any Importance to be held in the Unit
ed States in 1916 All others, in other
states. will be under the direct man
agement Of the manufacturers them
selves. The Oklahoma show is ar
ranged by the Enid Chamber Of Com
merce and the Oklahoma Farmer.
Stockman. Rules and field manage.
ment are controlled by the Oklahoma
Agricultural college. 1t is strictly a
home show
Practically every farm tractor OF i'm
portance that is known in Oklahoma
will be on the demonstration field
though a few manufacturers have re-
fused to exhibit at Enid because they
we're not able to control the rules and
field management there. The ma
chimes to be seen win include the Bull,
IIeider, Parrett, Peoria, Waterloo Boy,
Sandusky, international, Nilsson, Allis-
Chalmers. All-Work. Moline-U Universal,
Bates Steel Mule. Waite, Plow Boy. c.
0. D., Western, Happy Farmer, Twin
City and many others whose size and
type fit them for use on Oklahoma
farms.
The rules under which these ma
chimes will work were drawn with the
special idea of showing Oklahoma far
mers both the good and the bad of the
tractor. An all-day plowing and seed
bed demonstration on July 13 will
bring out many facts about the diff.
ferent kinds OF farm work which the
tractor is said to be able to do well.
Flowing, disking, narrowing and seed
ing win all be handled by the tractors
on that day. Public demonstrations
win be held every afternoon. There
will be much special entertainment on
the 1,0e0-acre tractor grounds during
each day and in the downtown Enid
in the evenings The whole city Of
Enid win be thrown open for the ac-
commodation OF visitors Frisco trains
between Enid and the demonstration
field VIII furnish quick and cheap
transportation hourly every day. Prep
arations are being made to handle 5O.-
900 people.
