POTATO KING SHOWN:
BUYS FORDSON WHEN
TESTED ON HIS FARM

There's one characteristic about
George Miller, known as "the potato
king, !" residing six miles west Of Be-
midi on the state road, and that is
whenever some one puts proposition
10 him for consideration Mr.. Miller
mmediately gives his address as Mis-
souri, and no amount of mere CONVEX
sation on the "other side" is going
to change his mind as to his intent.
When G. w. Jewett Of the Jewett
garage, who has the disposition Of the
allotment of FOrdson tractors, sug-
gestsd to Mr.. Miller that he should
avail himself of the opportunity OF
securing one of these tractors, Mr..
Miller Immediately assumed that
SHOW me'',attitude and it was up to
Mr.. Jewett to produce.
Tuesday afternoon a Fordson trac-
/ tor was taken out to the Miller farm,
said to contain places as tough as
there ever were created and on his
farm Mr.. Jewett set the tractorsto
work. With a big gang plow he
nearly spoiled the whole demonstra-
ton for spectators, for the reason the
plot just naturally turned up every
thing on the place, before visitors ar
rived, even catching a bug spreader
and taking it along in the process of
blowing.
! The though place" was then sin
gled out and also road as hard as a
rock. On the tractor was big gang
plow and it cut the clay and road to
1O-inch depth as slick as barber
shaving off weeks growth from the
face of a school boy.
Mr.. Miller is one Of the most pro-
gressive farmers in this part Of the
state He knows his business and his
marked success since starting in a
small way has been alertness to what
has been necessary to "getting there
and doing it.
IT had some doubts about the pull
ing power of the Fordson," remark
ed Mr.. Miller, "but when it pulled
twice what had any idea it might
said that's enough for me. I've look
ed over tractors, many Of them. I've
got all want right now and hope
others will buy them and let's make
this big farming center. We can do
it, because it's here" Az

Dealers Make Promise.
This promise is said to come from
the big dealers, who base their pre-
'diction upon the condition Of the cat

that will be ready for shipment at
that time. s
The number of heavy and light
weight animals to be shipped will
largely determine what the general
public will have to pay for supply
