the meetings at the college would re-
suit in great good to the farmers and

AFTER AUTOMOBILE
SPEED MANAGES

AS a means of saving the recently
improved Pullman-C olfaX highway
from speedy destruction through au-
tomobile speed maniacs, the Pullman
chamber of commerce Tuesday went
on record as favoring the appoint
ment of motorcycle policemen to pa
troll this and other improved roads
in the county, to enforce the speed
laws. County Engineer McCaw of
ColfaX attended the meeting of the
chamber and stated that on normal
days the travel between Pullman and
ColfaX averages between 50 and so
cars each hour, saying that the road
is not of nature to withstand such
heavy travel during the dry months
at the speed maintained by many of
the auto drivers. He stated that one
driver claimed a record of 20 min
utes for the IS miles.
Many farmers have complained of
the loss of many chickens through
the speeding on this highway and
demand that the laws be enforced.

TRACTOR SHOW PROVES
BIGGEST EVENT EVER
HELD IN PULLMAN
CONTINUED from first page)

track-laying and other larger types OF
farm tractors on hill sides with a
maximum grade of 81 per cent
thrilled over $500 spectators at the
second days activities of the all
Northwest power farming demonstra-
ton, which closes today. Three of
the machines demonstrated plowed
around the steepest hill to the sum
nit, these being the Holt "a"
drawing six plows and turning over
seven feet of soil; the Best 40
which draws four p'ows and turns
over a fiye-foot furrow; and the
Yuba "20-35, also pulling four IL
inch plows. None of the smaller
wheel types of tractors attempted the
steepest grades, but - of these light
er machines were operating stimuli
taneOusly in other fields where the
hills appeared formidable The pow
erful Holt rs, which attracted
wide attention yesterday by its per
formances on steep hillsides drawing
nine plows and turning the soil for a
width OF IL feet, met with hard
luck yesterday morning when the
draw bar on the three three-bottoms
plows broke, putting the gigantic
tractor out of the demonstration I'M
til a new draw bar could be secured
The disposition of the farmers OF
the hilly sections of the Northwest
to put each tractor, especially of the
track-laying type, to the supreme test
and pay only causal attention to the
work of the machines on level
ground, was evidenced by the NAM
moth crowds which gathered at the
tops of the steepest hills to watch the
tractors as they made the rounds,
while comparatively few were content
to base their decision as to the best
machine on the performances on the
comparatively level parts of the big
field. Each machine, however, had
it's group of opponents, who followed
the tractor on its entire round of the
field and watched closely every oper-
atipn

Many Women Attend

Thursdays crowd surpassed by
fully so per cent that of Wednesday,
many delegations of farmers having
arrived Wednesday night, most of
them representing counties and led
by their county agricultural agent.
A feature of the big crowd is the
presence of women, a great many
farmers having brought their wives
and daughters to witness the demon
stration. Interest on the part of the
lady spectators centers around the
Russell tractor, operated by Mrs. Roy
King of Portland, while large groups
OF them were constantly watching the
power exhibits in the main tent,
where every conceivable method of
tightening the duties of the farmers
wife, from the power operated churn
to the sewing machine and washing
machine are demonstrated by the
companies exhibiting electrical and
gas engine appliances for the farm
and farm home.
