scientific methods of modern farming.
The Oliver Chilled Plow Works rep
resentatives gave illustrated lectures
featuring soil culture, the effect of
moisture and evaporation on various
kinds of SOIL. Proper and improper
methods Of blowing, disking and seed
ing were clearly outlined, as a result
of extensive tests and experiments.
- Moreover, considerable study was
given to power farming and the needs
of the farmers in the necessary machin-
cry to conduct motor farming econom-
ically and proftably. The Oliver con-
Germ manufactures an extensive line Of
power farming implements which are
sold throughout the world. They are
known and advertised as 'sPlowmakers
for the World'% and have the largest
plant Of it's kind in the country. :
Samples Of the various implements
were set up ON the floor in the Machine
Works building and the dealers went
over each tool with factory men who
told Of their mechanical construction
and the reasons why. Lectures were
given on the Oliver line Of plows, disc,
sharrows, cultivators, pulverizers, Super
Tor grain drills, Black Hawk manure
spreaders and corn planters, Aspinwall
potato machinery, etc. ,..s<I .<,5s. =,.;,
AS Not the least important feature Of
the big two-day meeting was. their
formal ton given by the eastern factory
men as to- manufacturing conditions
which prevail throughout the country
today. The steel strike, coal shortage
and labor difficulties have all combmed
to make it very hard for manufacturers
to get sufficient steel to make farm MAJ
:chinery. The dealers were urged to
impress upon their farmer customers
the real necessity Of purchasing their
spring implements early, just as soon
as they know with they need. 1t was
said by some Of the dealers present at
the meeting that many Of their GUS
toners shave already bought their inn
plements for delivery later on, when al|
they will need them. -. y srS.:. ,s,,:
The Warren Machine and Iron Works
company have recently taken over the
distribution of the Oliver line Of i'm
plements to northern Red River Val
ley dealers. This will be great con-
venience to dealers in valley towns as
they will be enabled to get goods nd
repairs more promptly than if it were
necessary to ship direct from the fac
tory. sl-:s z. ~. - IS j.
