have worked out entirely new selling
methods to meet changed conditions
and competition. A recent survey
made among $1,000 dealers by the re.
search department Of the National
Association OF Farm Equipment Man

dealers have been put on wheels. They
are now selling the farmer at his barn
door.
New Service Offered.
In addition. makers and dealers are
giving the farmer service in other re-
spects, such as he never has enjoyed
before. Some OF these plans have
revolutionized saIesma nship in tho
rural districts. Until early this year
rural implement dealers were faced
with an impossible barrier in the
shape of lack of farmer buying power.
When the farmer commenced to have
more dollars. II was found he also had
more wants and demands. The auto

become necessities OF farm life and

Sales Methods Improved.
1t has been to meet this situation
that the new service and methods
have been devised. Manufacturers of
grain drills, lime spreaders and other
equipment have taken their machines
to the farms and helped Farm Bureau
workers show just how they could In
crease the farmers profits.
One big manufacturer OF plows and
tiliase tools is helping agricultural
high schools by encouraging and ar
ranging plowing matches. A South

by various manufacturers schools in
the last year, according to reports
from the manufacturers association.
