Tractor Demonstration

The tractor demonstration last
Friday and Saturday held at the
Nelson farm about two miles south
east Of Monroe City was attended
both days by a good sized crowd of
farmers who showed keen interest
in the workings of this new farm
implement. Four makes of tractors
were in the field-the Avery. Moline
Case and Fordson. They were 2
pIow, 3-plow and 4 plow machines,
and as far as the writer of this ar
ticle could determine, not being a
farmer, they were all blowing and
seemingly doing first class work in
every way.
There is no question, we think,
but what the tractor is destined to
take its place in this section as an
indispensable adjunct to the farm

and is gaining in favor as essen.
tial farm equipment on farms be-
cause they are capable of rushing

culture has recently collected facts
and figures on actual performance
of tractors from three hundred trac
tors, Most of these men find the

The Wheat Crop

The crop report shows that the
winter wheat production in the
United States this year is likely to
be 6S7.0G0,000 bushels. which is al :
together the greatest yield the coun-
try ever saw.
II it is assumed that this years
spring wheat crop will equal last
years the total crop will reach, in
round numbers, 1,2OO,OO0.0OO bush.
els. and every bushel of it is to be
sold by the farmer at guaranteed
price. which will yield them a profit
The significance of this prospect
is not that bread is likely to be
much cheaper, but that a great deal
of money will be spent by farmers
for things that will make theiI
farms better and their lives easier
and that city people will profit by
large sales, good wages and a gen
eral atmosphere of confidence.

Towns Depend on Farms

Farmers are as deeply interested
in the local village and town as are
the business and other people who
live there. The majority Of these
,centers have been located and have
developed as the result of the de-
mands of country people. When
sthe new sections were settled there
were demands for store, black
smith shop, bank. an elevator. and
other business institutions. These
with the school and the church
: formed the nucleus of the town
which has served as the center for
trading and social life. If one of
= these vital centers were destroyed
by fire, food, or wind, or in any
other way, it would be Immediately
re established, because it serves an
. absolute need. The town is there
, to satisfy the needs of the people.
Should they not then organize to
make it better and protect in every
way its best interests
individuals or groups of individ-
uals who undertake to separate
themselves and their interests from
those of the town are breaking
down that which has required years
to build. Existing barriers between
town and country should be remov-
ed. The farmers and business men
; must work hand in hand for the
development of agriculture, the
building of roads, schools, anC
churches. and the establishing o.
strong. adequate, and attractive
community centers.

Several daylight burglars were
committed in dental offices and
other places. The bandits have
been at several houses in one night
in the same neiehbofhood. The
next night they operated in the op.

Additional police have been put

dental Suffrage Bill at l:20 O'clock
Saturday afternoon, in his private
Office. which was filled with smoke
from fiashlieht machines.
The bill, it is agreed, grants the
right of women to vote for presi-
dental electors. beginning in 1920.
But there seems to be doubt as TO
whether women can vote for some
othar officers until a constitutional
amendment shall have been
adopted
Something of ceremony marked
the signing of the bill. Mrs. Walter
McNab Miller of Columbia. Mo,

of real democracy and declared it
