TRACTOR SCHOOL
A BIG SUCCESS


All who attended the tractor school
which was held Friday and Saturdav
at the Warren City Hall were VOL
satisfied In every respect. Lundgren
Wltfensfen x CO., the local agents Of
the International Harvester Companv
report that those present state that
tney were so well pleased that should
q school be held within reasonable dis
lance another year, they will be sure to
attend.
a no more timely subject than the
operation OF tractors could DossihIv
have been studied in this communitv
Is timely both from the standpoint
lnat tnere are many new tractor own
ers and also from the absolute necessity
OF keeping all the tractors working fhis
loiloW1ng season. We all know that +
taxes power and plenty Of it to nro-
uuce the most crops and to GET the
larm work done on time. II the trac-
lots are laid up for repairs, or some
llille adjustments, it is valuable time
lost The object of these tractor schools
IS TO give tractor owners and others
interested in power farming some first
aid work for the tractor
A very fortunate feature of the trae-
tor school was its practicability. The
instructors, j. III. Boucher and r w
Mask, from Grand Forks. certainly
knew their subject and knew how to
bring out the points in clear. under
slan0aDie fashion They started in at
the beginning and went through the
principles OF operation of an internal
combustion engine, and step by step
took up the various systems into which
the mechanism Of tractor could be
divided. For instance, mechanical and
power system, fuel and carburetinr sys
TEN, ignition system, Iubricating sys-
TEN, governing system. air and Gas sys-
tenn
H there has been any apprehension
IN this community about the use of
i0W-grade fuels in tractors. we are glad
to say that this school has cleared up
TINS important phase of tractor farm
ing We are now satisfied that If
tractor is built right, it will operate
successfully on kerosene and other low
grade fuels 1t certainly seems greatly
to the farmers advantage to have a
tractor that will produce power on low
priced kerosene-eoal oil-or distillate.
