Power Farming.

The free picture exhibit and lecture
demonstration put on at the Rialto last
Tuesday afternoon by the T. & 7. Mo-
tor Co. to acquaint the farmers and
others with the advantages of power
farming had drawn All audience which
filled every seat in the theater and
taxed the capacity of the standing
room near the entrance. Many farm
,ers did not get in.
The meeting opened promptly as ad-
vertised by soprano solo sung by Miss
Della Throndson, sister of Mr.. Thrond-
son of the T. & T. Motor Co. She was
accompanied on the piano by Miss Alice
Olson. Their part of the program was
cheered to the echo.
Some very interesting and convincing
pictures were thrown on the screen
showing the termination process of
seed under different soil conditions.
The idea brought out went to prove
that soil that is thoroughly worked and
packed has larger power of capillar-
ity than lumpy, unpacked soil The
picture showed the difference in the
time it takes for moisture to rise
through the fine and packed soil from
that of loose, lumpy soil, and the con-
sequent difference in the time it takes
for the seed to terminate and grow in
the two kinds of seed bed. This was,
perhaps, one of the most convincing
demonstrations of this nature presented
to an Edgerton audience.
It had a purpose. There is an nipple
ment now in the farm machinery mar
ket called the cultipacker. 1t is used
behind disc, harrow to level and pack
the soil. Mr.. Hatch, the gentleman
who had charge of this phase of the
program, gave plain, sensible talk or
the advantages of using. the cultipack.
er, not only in the preparation of the
seed bed, but also in packing sol
heaved by the spring frosts, on pas
lures that are drying up, and in the
field during the early part of the grow
ing season.
Mr.. Jerry Lynch, farmer neal
GAINESVILLE, spoke on the advantages O.
power farming. He is Fordson farm
er and told his experiences since he ha'
turned to this mode of farm motiv
power. Mr.. Lynch may be first rat
farmer; if he is as good farmer as h

osition, he is hard to beat. He showe

how the farmer in order to get away
from drudgery, to gain more profit,
and to have more leisure time for him
self and for his family, must solve the
problem of reducing the cost of produc-
tion without decreasing the amount of
production. The man who advises you
to produce less in order to increase the
cost to the consumer, is all wrong, said
Mr.. Lynch, and the farmers should not
take his advice. But the man who can
show the farmer how to increase pro-
duction, and at the same time decrease
the cost of it, is the one who is preach
ing the true gospel. He held the way
to do this is by turning over to power
farming. The manufacturer is success
full in his line; the farmer should be.
The manufacturer, the farmer and the
banker by cooperation can make the
new era reality. He gave the banker
credit for doing his part in furnishing
funds where the farmer is of the right
sort. Mr.. Lynch argued that it would
be better for the farmer to use power
on the farm than to depend upon inn
porting cheap labor from southern Eu-
rope eve cannot use that kind of
labor on our Wisconsin farms; we need
skilled farm labor" declared Mr..
Lynch, and this remark was greeted
with hearty cheering by the audience.
If the farmers neglect to introduce the
new methods in their manner of tilling
the soil, caring for it, harvesting and
marketing their produce, they have
themselves to blame if they fail, he de-
clared.
The bonneville Trolly" was then
shown to the delight of the audience.
After this Mrs. Lynch gave fine adj
dress on power farming and the home.

entertaining manner.
