HENRY FORD'S TRACTOR

Henry Ford informed friends at the
Detroit Athletic club in Detroit the
other day that he had just notified
France that that country could have
II, 900 Ford tractors. He is now work
ing on from 1000 to 1000 for England,
and all of these will have to be deliver
ed before Amerlca's demand is met.
Mr.. Ford said that he was taking ad-
vantage of the present fine weather in
making the tests, and that in a short
time several of these tractors would be
moved to the south fer test work there.
He laughingly said that he was 81 years
old, but believed that in his present
condition he was capable of running
farther and running faster THAI any "a
year-old man in Detroit. AS indicating
the work he is doing, he told of rising
at 6 o'clock, Wednesday morning, and
of following II tr ctors over the fields.
He rode on many of these, and at the
close of the mornings test, knew every
thing that was to be known regarding
the work of each. MIR. Ford said that
all Of his tractors were being fitted to
create their own light for night work.
The other night test was made with
one af them, and It plowed an Facre in
65 minutes. Mr.. Ford said that it was
evident that the government action
with regard to the manufacturing of
automobiles was in line with saving
policy and that it was probable the
government did not care to have the
manufacturers make too many. cars.
as too many cars meant the consumption
of precious gasoline. e.-adv.

COW TESTING Asso. AcnVstf ()cAI HAPPENINGS

Enough members have been seaured
that the reorganization of the Diamond
State Cow Testing Association is assur-
ed Negotiations are now being carried
on with a competent man from the mid
die west, with the approval of the assoc
iation to do the testing and keep the re-
cords. 1t is the desire of the association
that the work begin at an early date.
1t is 20 be regretted that every far
mer who has ten or more cows is not
member of cow testing association.
Due to the high prsce of feed and labor
it is more impoi tant this year than ever
before that the dairy head be entered in
the testing association. A good cow
will make as good profit as she ever
did but poor one will loose far more
money. A poor COW is worse than no
cow. Occasionally farmer states that
he can tell his poor cows. Obviously he
has an idea but to actually know is an
other thing. When the performances
of the various cows in the herd are con-
sldered that some of them start in with
a heavy milk flow but drop off in few
months, that others start off with only
fair flow but continue it throughout the
year and to know the cost of the feed
t1at the various cows have consumed L
say to have all these facts in mind for
each COW at the end of the year with any
degree of accuracy where no records
have been kept is thing which the
best dairymen of the country have found
to be impossible.
Some of the farmers of the county
have been informed that only the well
bred herds should be entered in the test
ing association. This is far from
In fact, the purpose of the association
is to take the very ordinary herd, test
each COW and at the end of the year
weed out those that haze shown them
selves to be improbable. We then ad
wise raising the heifer calves from the
best cows and we have fourd that after
the farmer finds that the production of
his herd is increasing, he is generally in
favor of buying a better bull.
The County Agent is simply assisting
the cow testing association to reorga-
nlze If you are interested, write him
