IN Motor Age, Issue March 20.
Frank Blake is farmer at Valley
Falls, Kan. He works 800 acres. To
help him he uses 1920 tractor which
will handle three bottoms In the soil
conditions he has. He finds also q
tractor Of this size gives him ample
power for his belt requirements. He
has no service troubles to speak of
because, he says, he bought good
tractor in the first place, takes good
care of 1t, and so far has been able
to solve all his mechanical problems
himself.
MECHANICAL SENSE NEEDED.
you see, / happen to have a little
bit of mechanical sense" he says.
That's something every farmer who
owns a tractor ought to have, but it's
something whole lot of them haven't
got ] am inclined to think tractor
troubles would almost disappear IL the
farmer would do two things. These
are, in the order of their Importance,
purchase a tractor which isn't made Of
junk and learn how to run it and take
care of it. l might say. too, get a ma
chine which is fitted to the farm.
There's no trouble about running a
good tractor il you know what you're
doing, and if you don't know, then you
ought to learn. The trouble is a whole
lot of tractors have been sold to farm
ersJ which never ought to have been
built in the first place and then they
have been put into the hands of farm
ers who didn't know how to run them.
Neither did the dealer for that matter.
OF course, there was trouble-there
couldn't be anything else.
THE farmer ought to know what
sort of farm he has and what kind
and size OF tractor he needs to take
care of his work. Then he wants to be
good picker and get the right ma
chine, and develop what mechanical
sense the Lord has given him so that
he can work it right II he doesn't
know these things he either ought not
to have a tractor ut all or he should
take the advice of some dealer who
does know what he ought TO have"
RIGHT KIND OF COOPERATION.
This is good, practical advice. and it
means a whole lot to the tractor manu-
facturer, the tractor dealer and the
tractor buyer. One reason why there
has been so much trouble and dissat-
isfaction with the tractor business.
hard about the service cost, why the
dealer has been dissatisfied with the
profit he has been able to make. why
the farmer so often has failed to make
economical use of his tractor, is be-
cause there has not been the right kind
OF cooperation all down the line.
The manufacturer has built his trac-
tor along theoretical lines, frequently
with too little regard for engineering
and mechanical principles and with too
little attention to the quality of ma
terials and workmanship which went
into his product. Likewise he often
has not given as much consideration as
he ought to the practical needs of the.I
farmer. His idea has been to build
tractor to sell, and talking points have
loomed larger to him than has practf- |
cal adaptation to farm needs.
Merchandising has been too often the
thing before the eyes of the dealer, and |
1t has filled so much of the range of
his vision that some of the factors

sectlon. When one Of the big farmers
wants a tractor Dave sells him a 5000.
You see. Dave tells his customer. with
the 5000 you can pull 10 bottoms and
three tandem disk harrows and pillow
and harrow about 80 acres day, and
that's economy. The big machine is
what you want.
But when the farmer has piking

won't let him talk the big machine at
All. lie says, what you want is 20-4o
Or 22-45, that's big enough for you.
And still smaller capacity machines
md their way through Dawes hands
onto farms which are smaller than a
half section. To what an extent this
llght stuff figures in his annual sales
may be surmised from the fact that he
Just has arranged for credit line Of
100000 to handle this little stuff in
1919.
1t happens that Dave belongs to the
old school Of dealers. He used to sell
motor cars, but he quit them some time
ago, and went back exclusively into
implements and power farm equip
ment. He has some methods in selling
which are not approved modernly by
good dealer society. For instance, he
sells tractors on time. He admits that
two years is about the limit of credit
on some big outfits he SELLS This is,
of course, confined to the big ma
chimes, the smaller stuff being kept
pretty well down to the day limit,
but most of his sales have time fac
tor in them.
CARRIES REPAIRS.
Dave says, however, that this doesn't
worry him any, because he makes his
service his collection agent He car
RES stock of repairs and responds to
calls for help promptly. His own ex-
perience as farmer and tractor oper-
ator has taught him that when the
farmer wants help he wants it p. d. O..
and Dave gives it that way. This
much facilitates collections, says Dave.
and takes the curse out of the time
sales plan of handling tractors. Keep
ing the customer always satisfied be-
cause his tractor continuously is at
work when he wants it to be, and see
ing to it in the very beginning that
the tractor is fitted to the Job, will put
almost any tractor business across
successfully, irrespective of some more
or less reprehensible methods of SELL
ing.

NEWARK, Oct. 2i.-An hlumnus who
has just returned from service in
France, visited Delaware College yes
terday. In returning 10 the scenes OF
his student days after a lapse OF many
years, he was struck with the eXpan-
sion OF the college as regards campus
and buildings, and spoke enthusiastic
ally OF the progress that had been
made. More significant, however, than
the growth in lands and buildings is

wrought by the beautiful commons
and the new dormitory. Committing
has heretofore interfered with college
life and work. Social agencies such as
fraternitles, Frazer Field. Harter Hall
and Old College Hall. the Engineering
Society, Agricultural Club, and the like
have made residence at the college so
attractive that practically every stu
dent that can arrange to do so, de-

this way the fellowship has been inten-

The sole dormltOry and the frater-

perative need. The sites for three addi-
tfonal dormitories for men are already
provided. With another dormitory, no
doubt eighty-flve per cent. Of the stu
dents would live at the college. For
tunately the commons was planned to
accommodate at least one hundred ana

College now has.
