FORDSON TRACTOR
PROVES ITS WORTH
ON BARROW FARMS
King Motor Company
Gives Splendid Dem
onstration of Pos
sibilities.
One of the finest demonstrations of
the value of the Fordson Tractor to
the farmers of Barrow comity, was giv
en on the farm of Mr. Geo. W. Giles
& Son, near Auburn, last Monday. Ov
er 100 farmers were resent and the in
terest created by this demonstration
and others among the farmers, bankers
and business men in this county means
that Barrow is going to improve her
farming methods and diversify her
crops as never before.
The Fordson Tractor is becoming an
indispensible farm implement to the
man who wishes to make moaey 011
the farm.
Dr. C. B. Mott, the general manager
of the King Motor Cos., in this city,
the Authorised Ford and Fordson Deal
ers for Barrow county, was delighted
with the Fordson Tractor demonstra
tions that have been held. The trac
tor has done all that he has claimed
for it, and our farmers are becoming
deeply interested in the work that
can be accomplished by this valuable
farm machine. The farms of Bar
row county can be made to more than
double their yield by the intelligent use
of the Fordson Tractor.
At the demonstration on the farm of
Mr. G. W. Giles, last Monday, his
wheat was cut by the Fordson, the land
was then plowed by a Fordson, har
rowed, planted and then culti-paeked
by a Fordson. The land was plowed
deeper than ever before and the seed
bed was well-nigh perfect. Everybody
present was elated with the work.
On Tuesday, a demonstration was
given on Mr. Jim Harwell's place, three
miles west of Winder. Many farmers
weife present at this demonstration
and all were delighted with the work.
The wheat was out, land plowed and
sowed in peas and cane, all of the
power being furnished by a Fordson
Tractor. Mr. Harwell bad never op
erated a Ford car before but in just a
few minutes learned how to run the
tractor.
On Tuesday another demonstration
was given on the farm of Mr. Green
Smith, showing how easily it is to op
erate a reaper and binder with a Ford
son Tractor.
As proof of the contentions of Dr.
Mott about thi value of the deep plow
ing that can be done by a tractor, Mr.
J. H. Bedingfield,- who lives out on
Koute 3 from Winder, made over sl,-
000.00 on an acre of land during the
last season by plowing his land about
18 inches deep.
When our young men realize that they
can independently rich by the
p; , p r fa ming it will mean that this
country will l>egin to grow and develop
b' _ leaps and bounds. Dr. Moott state-,
and we all know it, that we have the
best climate, the best farm lands, the
finest and most hospitable people, and
that by proper work we are going to
have the best producing county regard
less of size in the state.
A demonstration is going to be made
iij[ the near future showing that plow
ing with the Fordson Tractor can be
done in the night and with a shift of
hands, when necessary, plowing can
be continued during tfJe w’hole 24
hours of the day.
Ford Car Run Ninety-
Two Thousand Miles
Rev. W. H. Faust, of this city, is the
owner of a Ford car that has run 92,-
000 miles. We were shown a part that
came out of the car Tuesday, and it was
not worn to any appreciable extent.
One small piece was broken on the part
and it was thought best to take it out.
Mr. Faust is a great believer in tne
Ford car.
HERRIN’S 10c STORE.
In this issue of the News apears a
page advertisement of a great sale
that is being put on by Herrin’s 10
Cents Store. Wonderful bargains can
be found in this sale, and that is what
people are looking for these days. Just
look at the prices that are made in
that ad and then go in and see if you
can beat it.

AND THE BARROW TIMES
A Trip To Atlanta.
In company with Revs. W. H. Faust,
J. S. Settle and J. B. Brookshire, the
editor of the News made a trip by auto
to Atlanta last Monday. We found
the roads between Winder and Atlanta
only in fair condition. They needed
scraping badly, being full of boles that
made riding rather unpleasant. We
came back by way of Grayson, Logan
ville and Between in Walton county.
The county authorities are building a
fine road from Decatur to Stone Moun
tain and when completed will be fine.
We struck a magnificient stretch of
road between Loganville and Monroe
upon which it was a delight to ride.
The road also between Monroe and
Winder is fine. We congratulate our
sister county of Walton on the splen
did roads that she is building.
The citizens of Winder should inter
est themselves in the highway between
Athens and Atlanta by way of Winder
and Lawrenceville. This is the logical
route between the two cities and the
putting of this highway in first claws
condition will bring all this travel
through this city.
• Winder and Lawrenceville, the two
intervening comity sites should bestir
themselves and see that this highway
is put in fine shape.
ILLINOIS LIFE PAYS

Mr. W. O. Perry. State Manager for
the Illinois Life Insurance Company,

sand checks to settle recent claims in
this section.

of Messrs. Jas. A. DeLay. deceasrtl, of
Winder and Angel D. Spealman, de
ceased. of Hoschton. Mr. DeLay had

two premiums amounting to $648.00.

. Small Cotton Crop.
From the figures given out by the
government, a cotton crop of not over
8,000,000 bales is indicated. The acre
age has decreased about 30 per cent,
while the percentage condition is low.
The number of acres planted in the
south this year total 24,796,000 as
against 35,654,000 last year. The de
crease in fertilizers is at least 50 per
cent.
Using the Government’s formula for
estimating the probable yield, the acre
age and percentage condition consider
el indicates, with normal weather condi
tions henceforth, a yield of about 7,-
600,000 bales. Private investigations
indicate a yield of about 8,000,000 bales.

Miss Constance Featured in Unique
Picture Story Two Days.
Girls, if you were married for three
weary years to a perfectly good man,
who never came home a little “tipsy”
and who never ate onions, who never
snored in his sleep, who never smoked
nor swore—if you were married to this
sort of a saint, what sort of a husband
would you look around for after the de
mise of this noble one?
It's a ten to one bet that you would
do just as Georgiana Charboume did
—step out and search for the wickedest
man in New York. And if you could
not find one—what then?
Miss Talmadge is the virtue-weary
wife and Radcliffe Fellows is the
“good little devil.”
