Farm Tractor a Necessity.

A gentleman who is recognized
authority, states that some Yeas
ago it was not an uncommon occur
| renee for farmer who sought a
loan at a bank for buying tractor
to meet with refusal. This tend
ency on the part of the banker to
turn a cold shoulder toward the
tractor was prevalent in the mid lie
west. The industry was in its in
fancy; some of the machines dis
tributed failed to come up to expec-
tations; most of the farmers were
unskilled in the operation and repair
of gasoline tractors and so the ma
chimes were rendered useless soon
after they reached the farm.
Today the situation presents an
entirely different picture. The farm
er Of the middlewest, instead of
being hindered in his plans to buy
a tractor, is encouraged by the bank
er to invest in all farm machinery
that will conserve labor, time and
money, to say nothing Of helping in
creased production. 1t has taken
some years of progress for this day
to arrive. 1t has been necessary for
the tractor industry to pass through
the trying stage in which the auto
mobile business found itself when
struggling to convince the public
that the car was not a freak piece
Of machinery, but something that
had come to stay and would soon be
a necessity.
DR.. F. w. Powers, president of the
Black Hawk National bank of Wat.
erloo, declares that the farmer who
buys a tractor or the banker who
loans him the money to consummate
the purchase, is helping advance the
greatest industry in the world-the
agricultural industry. He appreci-
ates the fact that the tractor today
is the life of the farm. 1t is used
Tor everything-plowing, narrowing,
seeding, hauling the mower, the
binder, the thresher and even the
grain itself. The constant improve
ments and the prices at which they
are now sold has made it possible
for every farmer to own a tractor.
Banks should always be conserv-
ative as we'll as progressive; in this
way they best serve the farmer as
we'll as other customers" DR.. Pow

the banks and business men. The
tractor has come to stay and it will
soon become as popular as the auto

WILL THE FARM HOLD HIM?

Some eastern newspaper asks the
question, after the excitement OF
battle and struggle will the quiet
farm be ables to hold the returning
soldier?"
Let the returning soldier answer
that. 1t is one of the questions put to
almost every man coming back from
over there. Do you think you'll be
able to settle down to a plain quiet
life? And. he invariably answers
along this line, IF ever get back
to the old farm I'm going to stay
there stuck fast forever" I'm going
home and I never want to get fifty
miles away from there again. +"
"Well, Mr.. I've had enough excite
ment to last me 100 years" 80, Boy,
the old job that l never thought
much of before, why fellow I just
love it and love to think about it,"
Will. the farm hold him? Don't
worry. He will hold the farm. Shock
ing grain under the hot sun used to
be a fierce job but sweating under
the sun and facing death amid dirt
and disease and the hell fire of war
makes that job seem like a front
porch in the cool of the evening.
When a soldier gets home he will
stay put. He hasn't any place he'd
rather be than here at home in Iowa.
Altogether too much speculation is
by those who have little to
do but speculate on this and that
over the absorption of the returning
soldiers. They are slipping back into
their old places and into new places
with scarcely ripple. The boys get
job and go to work. OF course in cit
les where men are discharged in
great numbers a proportionate num-
Der of discharged men stay and float;
there will always be a certain num-
her of foaters whether from the
army of the U. S. or the army of
labor. But the average discharged
man has a place to go and desires
to go there as soon as the govern
ment and the good Lord will let him.
He goes. The next thing We know
about him he has enlisted in the
quiet and useful life and It is a life
enlistment.
Will the farm hold him? 1t will
not have to hold him. 1t would re-
luire the invasion of foreign
enemy to pry him loose from it
