hereby agree TO comply with the rules and regulations as re-
CURED by the management OF this demonstration.
BY comparison, one may draw conclusions so far as these
figures SHOW, Of considerable importance. These figures tell the
truth of this demonstration, but one must use good Judgment IN
looking at the angles of the tractor proposition. From the total
cost per acre as shown above, it would seem that the best tractor
10 purchase might be a lager size and such might b true -under7
certain requirements. First cost and amount Of ANIMAL deprecia-.
ton must be considered All important factor. It is just as true
that the successful tractor must have reserve power for en1er-
gencies and Longan county farmers must have in mind the tact
that VIC have a considerable quantity Of black clay loan (gunbo),
widely scattered over the farms of the county. Many factors
must be considered if the farmer is to purchase i~ntefigent1y a.
tractor best suited to his needs. No one tractor is best for all: =. -

at the chautauqua park at Lincoln, Ill, on October 8, 1s19.4 s.
The day was ideal and the attendance excellent. The. soil
was in fine condition to plow with those holding high numbers
having a light phase Of black clay loan, while those holding Nos:
] to 1o,had brown silt loan. Nos. / to i, had to contend with a
very heavy growth Of wheat stubble, weeds and grass. This was
especially heavy and matted for Nos: / and 2. The position. of
each tractor in the field was determined by drawing numbers.
-Four Bottom tractors had each two lands, which accounts for two
numbers for each. Nose & were handicapped by having a wide
bottom straw stack to pull around every time across this field:

Critics Praise "The Fear Market"

THE Fear Market" a production,
which is to be presented at the Isis
Theatre for a two-day engagement,
beginning today. is a photoplay attrac-
tion which critics who have followed
the development of the silver sheet
as a medium for the presentation OF
really big dramatic ideas have de-
clared ranks among the foremost OF
film dramas.
Alice Brady, the film fans favorite.
in the part of Sylvia Stone is called
upon to portray the gaumut of human
emotions and does so with a tensity
that is most convincing and a subtlety
which causes the calloused critics to
speak OF her work as ranking with
the best ever seen on the screen.
