TRACTOR SCHOOL HERE
LAST THREE DAYS IN JAN.
Of all the machines a farmer
owns, none is more important
than his tractor, especially is
this true where tractors must be
in condition to work day and
night, if necessary, to make pos
sible the increased production Of
food we need. There must be no
delays due to unsatisfactory OPP
GRAFTON, no loss of time due to a
lack of the knowledge necessary
to successfully operate a tractor.
To this end, the international
Harvester Company has institut-
ed a series Of schools Of instruct
ion for the benefit Of farmers,
students of agriculture, and bust
ness men interested in farm
tractors.
One of these schools will be
held at the Grant county court
house, Milbank, S. D., Jan. 10Th,
Both, and 31st, under the aus
pieces of J. S. Farley, Milbank, S.
D.; L. P. Farley, Corona, S. D.
and j. H. Christensen, Wilmot,
S. D., sessions to open promptly
at nine a. m. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to all farmers
and business men to attend this
school.
It will be strictly a tractor en-
cheering school, nothing will be
offered for sale at this school and
there will be no selling talks. It
will be a course of instruction on
how to operate a tractor, care for
and keep it in proper order, also
on the various kinds Nof work
that can be accomplished with it.
The instructors are practical
men with special training for
this work. The course consists
of a series of lectures and special
charts have been prepared which
illustrate with clear diagrams
and describe in simple terms. 1t
takes up the reasons why an en-
CINE operates, what takes place
within the cylinder Of the en-
CINE, symptoms that indicate APP
preaching trouble, and not over
look it, how to get the best pos
sible service from a tractor or
engine, new uses for tractors and
many other subjects of special
interest to men of this territory.
Those who attend this school
will be encouraged to ask ques-
tons on any subject in connect
ion with tractors or engines.
These questions will be fully an
swered at the end of each ses-
sion. Tractors will be on hand
and students will be given an op-
portunity to acquire practical
knowledge Of their operation.
To be sure that everyone who
attends the school carries home
with him each point brought out
there, a book containing subjects
discussed at the school will be
given to every man. Every
farmer who owns a tractor or ex-
| poets to own a tractor should at
tend this school. If he does not
operate the tractor himself, he
should send the man who does
operate it, and most importana Of
all, he should send his boy for at
one Of these tractor schools he
will gain considerable practical
knowledge of tractors and mach
inery in general, which is Of the
most Importance to the farmer
of the present day. Plan now to
be present at each session of the
school, for the men that do will
get the greatest benefit
Parties desiring to attend the
school should write to the Inter-
national Harvester Company of
America, Aberdeen, S. D., for an
enrolment card, which is free.
Don't forget the date and be
sure and come.
