Magazine, an international
publication, numerous news
and feature articles have
been written about the trac
tor, touching off inquiries
about it in several foreign
countries.
Wallace has traveled
around the world shipping
the Tuff-Bilt tractors by air
to demonstrate its ability to
work when other tractors
won’t. He proved recently to
farmers in Indonesia the
Tuff-Bilt can operate in the
muddy rice paddies, while
other name brand tractors
got bogged down in the mud.
The high clearance, ac
cording to Wallace, allows
the tractor to go when others
won’t. A unique safety
feature of the tractor is the
fact the implements all at
tach to the front of the trac
tor which gives easy viewing
of the ground work to the
tractor driver.
Tuff-Bilt tractors are now

Australia, India, Egypt,
Peru, and several other
foreign lands.
During a regular work day
some 27 employees of Tri-
Tractor can manufacture
four tractors along with the
various pieces of equipment
that go with each tractor.
The tractor is hydraulic
driven, and according to
Wallace is easy to operate.
He has taught farmers in
foreign countries how to
drive the tractor who have
never driven even an
automobile before. Wallace
said he has even taught
youngsters to operate the
Tuff-Bilt with only a few
minutes of instructions.
The new addition to the
local industry will mean ad
ditional space for building
the tractors which begins
with steel being bent for the
frame work to the final at
tachments being added to
the Tuff-Bilt. The tractor has
an optional diesel engine
which Wallace says is
popular overseas.
Wallace has demonstrated
the Tuff-Bilt to dirt fanners
as well as prime ministers of
foreign countries throughout
the world and says the Tuff-
Bilt is good for most any type
farming as well as mowing a
lawn.

Census Questionnaires To Be
Mailed March 28 For Replies
With the official opening,
the active phase of the cen
sus gets underway in this
census district.
About 450 crew leaders
and census takers will be
hired and trained. Detailed
arrangements will be made
for the enumeration of peo
ple in institutions, jails,
hospitals, colleges and
places other than homes, all
in preparation for April 1
when the actual counting
begins.
Four days before April 1
the postal service will
deliver a census question
naire addressed to each
residence. Each household
will be asked to fill out its
questionnaire and mail it
back on April 1 in the
postage-paid envelope that
will be enclosed. Census
takers will have to call on
those households that have
not returned their question
naires within a reasonable
time.
There are 384 other census
districts throughout the

of enumeration will be used.
The Census Bureau
estimates that about 90 per
cent of the U.S. population
lives in these districts.
There are 24 other census
districts in which the re
maining population lives.
These districts are outside
the large cities and their
suburbs. Here mail carriers
will distribute unaddressed
questionnaires at each
residential mail box.
Householders will be asked
to fill them out but hold them
for census takers who will
begin picking them up
March 31.
However, all districts are
alike in one respect in that
some households will fall in
to a sample and be asked to
provide more information
about each person and about
the housing. In places of
2,500 population or more, one
in six households will be in
the sample. In areas with
populations of less than
2,500, one in every two

households will fall into the
