Big Demonstration
of Fordson Tractor
Will Be Made Here
farmers Urged to Come to Dalton
Next Week and Witness Dem
onstration and Hear Talk
Paul B. Fite, local dealer for the
Fordson tractors and implements built
especially for the Fordson'tractor, an
nounces a big Fordson tractor and im
plement demonstration in Dalton on
Monday and Tuesday, November 7th
and 8th. Representatives of the Ford
Motor company, manufacturers of the
Fordson tractor, David T. Bussey, -of
Atlanta, authorized Fordson implement
distributor, Oliver Chilled Plow works,
Roderick Lean Mfg. Co., Sover Mfg.
& Enfe. Co., and other implement manu
facturers, all of whom manufacture
equipment designed especially for use
with the Fordson tractor, will be here
to assist in the demonstration.
Plows of different types, harrows,
culti-packers, ditchers, grain drills,
grist mills and feed grinding mills, in
cluding corn and alfalfa grinders, and
other belt driven equipment will be
shown giving hundreds of farmer's from
this and surrounding counties a con
crete example of the manifold use^ of
the Fordson tractor in the economic
operation of the farm. The demonstra
tion will be very complete, and every
piece of equipment will be fully ex
plained by. factory experts.
As a means of reducing labor costs
and to show the new possibilities of
farming in this section by the use of
Fordson tractors and improved farm
machinery which automatically reduce
labor costs the demonstration will cer
tainly prove to be the most impressive
from an agricultural standpoint that
has been witnessed in this section.
In addition to the farm machinery
display ' several manufacturers will
send soil and other experts to lecture
on Fordson farming and its economic
advantages. An interesting and edu
cational lecture will be given on cor
rect seed preparation. This lecture
will be illustrated by stereopticon
slides and moving picture films. These
slides and films will show specially pre
pared test tubes, filled with different
grades of soils, clearly illustrating the
difference in a correctly prepared seed
bed and one which is incorrectly pre
pared. In the moving picture films
you actually see the corn sprout, take
root and-grow from the time the seed
is planted under the soil in both types
of seed beds. You can see the moisture
rise, and reach the seed more quickly
in the correctly prepared seed bed, and
as soon as the moisture reaches the
seed things begin to happen. The seed
planted in the correctly prepared seed
bed germinates and growth starts eight
days in advance of the seed planted in
the incorrectly' prepared seed-bed. You
see the roots begin to sprout down
ward followed later by the top sprout
pushing upward and through the soil.
The slides and films give a visible
lesson in the proper preparation of
the soil for all crops and the lecture
which accompanies them is said to be
the most striking on advanced agricul
ture ever heard in the South. Weath
er conditions permitting, the slides and
pictures will be shown in 4he open, and

The Neosho plan of stimulating bus
iness and promoting a closer co-opera
tion between town and county win, ih
all probability, be adopted by Dalton
merchants—this was decided at the
meeting of the Dalton Merchants’ and
Business Men’s association last Thurs
day night, and C. P. Hannah, W. C.
McGhee and J. S. Thomas were named
as a committee to consider the matter
and make some recommendation at the
meeting Thursday night of this week.
This plan got its name from having
started in Neosho, Mo., and it has been
used with excellent results in many
places. The plan is to have auctions on
certain days, at which the farmers can
bring in anything they have for sale
and have it sold for them. Also there
are big bargain days, where special
committees see that the advertised ar
ticles are real bargains; another feat
ure is to send crowds of merchants ont
into the various sections to become
better acquainted with the people in
the country.
If the plan is adopted by Dalton mer
chants, someone thoroughly acquaint
ed with it will be brought here to ex
plain all the details, and The Citizen
will carry more information about it
later. 1
G. M. Cannon, Sr., Dalton’s oldest
active merchant, was elected a life
member of tbe organization, this honor
being bestowed on one who has served
this section well as a merchant.
Road signs were ordered placed at
the McCamy and Thornton avenue in
tersection and the Morris “and Thorn
ton avenue intersection to direct^tour-
ists through thfe center of the city. The
association voted to take no "action in
the matter of bridge contracts rcently
let by the county board, the committee
appointed to investigate this being dis
charged. < * >
The new meat market firm of W. H,
Love & Son was elected to membership.

LATIMER HOLLINGSWORTH
DIED IN SILVER CITY, N. M.
Prominent and Popular Young Dalton Resident
Died After Brave Fight—Was Lieutenant in
Aviation—Body Being Brought Here
Joseph Latimer Hollingsworth, aged
24 years, died Saturday morning at
Silver City, N. M., news of the death
of this popular young resident causing
decided sorrow here. Mr. Hollings
worth went west in January of this
year in an effort to regain his health;
but his dbndition was such that he
failed to show improvement, gradually
growing weaker until the end came
last Saturday. While his death has
been expected for some time, the news
brought a shock to his hosts of friends
here.
As a young boy, he came here with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Hol
lingsworth, in 1907 from Atlanta, and
was educated in the schools of this
city.
When the world war - came on, he
enlisted in the aviation branch of the
service, and was commissioned a lieu
tenant, being stationed for the greater
part of the time at the Texas aviation
field; but he was mustered out of the
srevice in San Diego, Cal., returning
home.
After the war, he was connected with
the Retail Credit company, and was
stationed at Denver, Colo., and later in
Salt Lake City, Utah, and afterward
in Atlanta.
His health breaking, he was forced
to quit the work, and just before going
west, on January 18, 1921, he was mar
ried to Miss Margaret Brown, of Knox
ville, Tenn., whose father, during his
lifetime, was a member of the faculty
of the University of Alabama. The
wedding was the culmination of a ro
mance which had its beginning during
the war. She. went with him to Silver
City. N. M., and was at his bedside at*
his death.
The body is expected to reach here
tonight, and funeral services will be
conducted from*the home on Selvidge
street at 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon.
The body will fee taken to Atlanta Fri
day morning, for interment. Dr. F. K.
Sims will conduct tb£ service, and will*
accompany the family to Atlanta.
Aside from his parents and his wife,
Mr. Hollingsworth is survived by three
sisters, Mrs. William Jones, of Lancas
ter, Pa.; Misses Helen and Adele Hol
lingsworth, of this city.
Mr. Hollingsworth «vas a member of
St. Mark’s Episcopal church here. He
was also a member of the Masonic fra
ternity. An honorary escort of Dalton
Masons will meet the body here.
Although a young man, Mr. Hollings
worth had earned the love and respect
of the people of Dalton, who grieve his
death as a personal loss.
