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. She Winter Ncm 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.
