wearing a tailorAmade suit of clothes, silk shirts, and other high-priced wearing apparel. He drives to church, not in an ox-cart, as of old, but in a six-cylinder car and when Saturday comes around, loads in the wife and kids, if he has them, and drives twenty or thirty miles to Little Rock, visits a vaudeville show or two, fills himself up on Schlitz-near-beer and is back home in time for another weeks work by Monday morning.
 In the future the farmers life and work will be as different from the present, as the present is as differ ent from the past. Land is already being broken with tractors, and in the near future it would be safe bet to say that the tractor will replace horses and mules in all farm work. A farmer in cleaning land from the woods will use . large power, prob ably a 30x60 Holt or Cleveland caterpillar tractor-both built especial ly for work in rough country, and from which the Franks" used to such an excellent advantage by the allies, were patterned after. The catipillar will also do good work in very wet or muddy ground. It is the only tractor that can be used to an advant- age in hilly, rocky country, and in the near future the farmers will use them more than any other kind, for his rough work. In cleaning his land he will hitch it to a big green stump and start the tractor forward bringing the stump out as he goes. In stump pulling he will be able to do as much work in day with his tractor as he formally did in week with a horsepower stump puller, and with more ease. The tractor will also be used in pulling the tree tops to- gether to burn. If his ground is very wet he will use catipillar in break ing six or eight furrows at a time, with disc harrow large enough to cover what he breaks, hitched on be- hind his blows to puverize the ground as he breaks it. In bedding" his land he will use lister pulled by Moline Universal 9-18 tractor built for. tta r,,,x,,oCn Ho will also .,en the Moline for planting, but after his seed is up and ready to be worked he will switcn to the Avery Motor Cultivator to work and cultivate his crops until "laid by." The Moline Universal being two wheel tractor is best to be used to replace live stock for hauling, etc., on account of it's light weight.
 If the farmer has a hay field he will use tractors hitched to his eight foot cut mower. A trateor will be used with his side-delivery rake also with his buck rake, as we'll as for the stacker. His baled hay will be load ed on big five-ton truck and whisk- ed away to market the same day it was baled. In the summer months he will pull his portable sawmill out to his wood lot with his tractor and cut lumber for repairing that needs to be done through the winter months. He will do all of his ditching with the tractor hitched to a ditcher, all road work will be done likewise. Who knows but his young Hopeful" will visit his best girl on Sundays five hundred or thousand miles away in a monoplane and be back home in time Monday morning for full days work, that of sitting under a huge sunshade on his tractor and spending his time thinking of the pleasant visit and smoking fifty cent cigars, modern "clod-hopper."
