TRACTOR ON COAST

what is proving to be one or
the most novel and interesting
transcontinental trips ever attemnt-
ca Is that of the Wheat tractor
which left New York on the eve ar
Memorial day, headed for Los An
geles, Cal, riding over the road ON
solid Firestone tires. At this writ
Ing the tractor is zig-zagging ahout
the Middle West in the vicinity OF
Indianapolis, and making for
Wichita, Kansas, where the tractor
exposition and demonstration will
take place the week of July Is.
This tractor is receiving the most
severe of road tests-the tillinr
ability OF the motor farm imple-
ment is well known-and so far
rain, mountain sleet. the sticky.
greasy mud and shifting sand OF
the highways and detours have NOT
combined to halt its progress.
Rather the delays met along the
road have been caused by Penn
sylvania and Middle Western farm
ers themselves. Apparently they
have been not so much Interested
in the tractors running schedule as
in their opportunity to study the
Wheat undergoing the practical
test.
