FARMERS NEED MECHANICS
By H. E. MURDOCH

Farm Mechanics: This term is
growing more and more as the science
of farming advances. When man stir
red the soil with a forked stick. the
term was unknown. At the beginning
of the 10Th century only primitive
hand tools were used in producing
crops and 81 per cent of the popula-
ton of this country was on farms.
About the middle Of the century, af-
ter the pillow and a few other farm
implements had been developed 80
per CEN was on farms. During the
latter half of the century, develop
ment was very rapid and at the end
of the century it took only slightly
over n third of the population to
raise sufficient farm products for all.
Machinery was employed to reduce
the manual labor of crop production.
Since the beginning of the present
century and especially during the past
few years there has been a marked
advance in the mechanics of the farm.
The tractor has made it possible for
man to accomplish two to three
times as much work in a day as could
be done previously with horses. and
during the war, with fewer laborers,
the American farmers have been able
to produce record crops.
With the tractor has come farm
machines specially adapted for use
with it. This equipment could not be
handled by the man who knew only
the farm machinery that was found
the farms at the middle of the
century, or even during the seventies.
1t takes a considerable amount Of
skill to care for and operate properly
the horse drawn machinery with
we are all familiar, still only a
small percentage of the farms have a
man for the work. The farm
ers are supposed to be able to adjust
and u right the machines they use,
and many of them are able to do re-
pair work.
The advent of power farming
equipment, including the gas engine
and tractor and the machinery to go
them, has brought a need for
more skilled operators. This has
up a new and fertile field in
operations-that of the
specially trained farm mechanic.
Many farmers and farmers boys and
girls have natural ability in this line
and are competent to care for and
the power farming equip
nent. Others will need special train
ng. The tendency of the times indi-

Gates that there will be an increasing
demand for these specially trained
men and women and this opens up a
new field for vocational training. I
believe there will be sufficient de-
mand for this kind of instruction
that the agricultural colleges of this
country, as well as other Institutions,
will soon establish special short
courses to give such training.

The ex-service men of Montana
owe a big debt of gratitude to the
Veterans Welfare Commission of this
State for the wonderful work they
have done and are doing for the dis
abled men of our commonwealth.
Some of us have not realized that
there are several hundred men in
Montana who are partially or totally
disabled as the result of their service
and that had it not been for the work
of this Commission a great many of
them would have suffered severely
before the government began to help
them. At the present time nearly
three hundred men are receiving
monthly checks from the Welfare
Commission. Hundreds of others
have been assisted in putting through
their claims for compensation, voca-
tional training, etc.
Every citizen of the State of Mon
tana should know of the work of the
Veterans Welfare Commission and
stand ready to assist in it whenever
possible. Especially can this be said
of our own town because q member
of Leonard Dethman Post, Robert
Farrell, received S27O from the Com
mission at a time when assistance
meant life to him.
The men who guide the activities
of the Commission are Chas.. E. Pew
of Helena, Frank Walker of Butte,
and Herbert NJ. Peet of Harlowton.
In discussing the bonus law during
the recent session of Congress, Roy
al C. Johnson, representative from
South Dakota and wearer of the Dis
tinguished Service Cross, called atten
ton to the following from the pen
of Kipling. 1t reminds US that Eng
land was once as unmindful of the
needs of her veterans as the United
States is today.
"There were thirty million English
that talked of England's might;
There were twenty broken troopers
that lacked a bed for the night;
They had neither food MOI money,
they had neither service nor trade,
They were only shiftless soldiers, the
last of the Light Brigade.
"They felt that Life was fleeing,
they knew that Art was long,
That though they were dying of IA
mine they lived in deathless song;
They asked for a little money to keep
the wolf from the door,
And the thirty million English sent

AUTO DEALERS
Motor Exhibit Called Great Success
BY officials Of Association
and Public.

A banquet for members Of the
Tri-City Automobile Trade associa-
ton, in which all exhibitors at the
motor show will participate, will be
the closing event Of what has been
called the most successful exhibit
of a like nature ever held in the
tri-cities.
Although plans for the banquet
are not yet made, it is to be held
during the week, following meet
ing of the association, at which the
dealers will discuss the event Of
last week, and make plans for the
future of the association. The date
and place of the banquet are yet
to be fixed.
By late yesterday. every trace Of
the exhibit had been removed from
the tabernacle, which has gone back
to the semblance of Billy Sunday
days. The dismantling of the mo-
tor booths began Immediately after
the closing of the doors Saturday
evening at 1880 o'clock, when cars
were removed and decorations torn
down. Manager C. G. VanVliet will
return to Des Moines tomorrow.

which was a record breaker in at
tendance, sales and interest shown.
The number who passed through
the gates during the entire week is
estimated at 10000, an average OF
over 5000 daily.
One of the features of the event
was the fact that nearly every ex-
hibitor was able to report crafty

to look over the offerings of motor
dealers at its own leisure and con-
venience, with benefit both to the
dealers and the visitors of the show
