WORK ON FARM

Out on the N. M. Edwards farm,
IL miles east of Americas on the
River road, tractor demonstration
is to be held Thursday, May %, at 10
O'Clock, to which every farmer in the
county is invited.
D. A. Carmichael. of Carmichael &
Sons, local distributors for the Mo-
line Universal tractor, has made ar
rangements with the Moline people to
show the farmers just what Moline
will do.
At the same time Mr.. Carmichael
has arranged for special moving
picture to be shown at the Strand tea
ter on Wednesday and Thursday, May
II and %. This picture will be run
with each performance, and any far
mer or land owner may see the picture
free by applying to Carmichael &
Sons, 223 Cotton avenue, for tickets.
mo farmer can afford not to see this
splendid picture" said Mr.. Carmichael
Saturday. THE picture begins with
the spreading of manure, the tractor
hitched to manure spreader, and con-
tinues through the entire season. And
here's one very particular reason
why the picture is interesting to far
mers: Every operation shown is a
ONE-MAN operation. 1t requires only
one man to handle the tractor and the
equipment.
Prove One-Man Claim.
The picture continues with the
spreading of the manure, then the
hitching of the plows and the turning
of the soil. Next is seen the harrows at
work preparing the soil for the seed.
A closeup picture of these operations
shows very conclusively that the one
man operation is successful.
Following the harrows are the
planters, in this instance planting corn.
The cultivation of the growing corn is
shown in its several stages. The close
up of the sowing of grain is very in
structive and interesting. Next is the
harvesting processes, with the one
man operation still in process, show
ing the machinery actually at work.
Then the hauling up to the barns, cut
ting for silos, threshing, etc.
1.-THE picture is one we want every
one to see 1t is real romance Of the
farm. It's 1919 farming"
Mr. Carmichael is most enthusiastic
over the possibilities of machinery on
the farms, and the fact that because of

too said Mr. Carmichael. Heretofore
when the farmer had long rainy sea-
son and got behind in his crops, he
could not overcome this handicap.
Now. with a Moline, he can pillow two
and three shifts a day There is big
headlight on the front and smaller
light that shines directly over his
pIows or other implements at work.
Thus supposing a farmer is three
weeks behind, he can run his tractor
day and night and within a week or
ten days he has caught up.
1.-THE Moline is not only one-man
.ffair, but has reduced the turning ra
dius to where within 16 feet we can
turn with tractor and plows. No 9th
er machine can equal this.
1.-THE Moline people have standing
offer of 81 1000 to be given to any man
who can show any average farm work
that the Moline cannot do.
in these tractor demonstrations,
like the one on next Thursday, we are
always glad to welcome our compel
itors and their machines. There's moth
