Plans for the Great Farm Power Show of 1916

least Of these possibly, is its utiliza-
ton in road making, when spring
time comes again, Better highways
are becoming yearly more and more
Of a necessity, and the same economy
Of time and energy seen on the grain
field can be obtained by the use at
spare moments or hours, of this labor
saving device upon the roads
The time was, al first, when the
tractor could be used only on the
biggest farms II was clumsy, awk-
ward machine to manage But i'm
provements in the engine, the cutting
down in the size, as we'll as in the
cost, have made the tractor available
and more and more a necessity upoi
farms OF $50 to 800 acres. Like the
variations in the use OF the automo-
bile for pleasure there have come
more practical and less expensive
motors for the farm.
When the tractor is used in farming
operations, however, certain changes
must be made in many features Of
the work. 1t will be found advantage
eous to have fields longer and mar
rover than formerly. 1t is not so
easy to turn a tractor on a corner as
when = mule 10 the motive power. To
use land profitably, therefore, many
farmers grow crops OF hay about their
plowed crops. It is also true that
the tractor will not climb a hill as
well as 1t can descend one, though
the argument that they can not be
used on rolling land Is baseless. There
is = limit to the amount OF q tractors
power, and sometimes some OF the
plows have to be taken off when the
machine is sent up too steep a hill.
1t is true, too, that though the trac-
tor can not be scared and does not
have to be watered or fed, it can not
be whipped into greater effort.
The use OF more machinery In agri-
culture will keep more boys on the
farm that might have gone away to
the cities to become failures, incom-
petents or criminals, from their in
aptitude for their changed surround
ings. 1t may, too, occasionally keep
budding genius from blossom, and
some men that might have been law
yers, poets. politicians and editors
will be only happy husbandmen.
The writer worked on farm in his
boyhood. He remembers only too
well the motive power in blowing a
small stony patch Of New Hampshire
land full OF roots. While one boy or
man drove Jack and Speck," the
other held the plow. There were ire
mendous shocks when the plow point
hit q stone, making the sparks fly on
a dark day. There were strenuous lifts
at the ends Of burrows or at corners,
where the pillow had to be carried al
arms length, perhaps for several feet.
To many who had such experiences

the farming Of the present day would
seem almost like fun. There were
rests in the work, yes, when "Speck"
began to pant, because being faster
than his mate, he bore the brunt Of
the burden. II seemed, too, as il this
OK learned to pant unnecessarily, be-
cause Of the short respite he realized
he would get.
Such was old time farming. Then
came the riding pillow and later the
gang piow. Now comes the tractor,
and who can tell what the inventor
Of the future will devise to give US
something better?
