INTERNATIONAL
HARVESTER CO.
Give Farm and Machine Dem
onstrations on Farm Near
Locust Grove Which Drew
Lar£e Crowd of Farmers.
The farm and machine demon
stration train of the International
Harvester Co., which is traveling
thru Georgia under the auspices of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
the Bell Telephone Company and
the Georgia Deparment of Agri
culture, gave a series of demon
strations and lectures on the farm
of J. S. Brown, about one mile
east of Locust Grove, Friday.
In the morning, Mr. Rainey of
the International Harvester Com
panv gave a practical demonstra
tion of tractor plowing, using the
8-16 I. H. C. tractor. The ground
was plowed at at a greater depth
than had ever before been con
sidered practical, and was re
terraced in a very satisfactory
manner. Heretofore, a great
many of the onlookers had not
realized how practical the tractor
is for work on rolling fields and
terraced land. After the plowing
the land was disced and the sur
face pulverized, completing the
preparation of the seed bed.
After the plowing the people
present went into the large tent
where H. S. Mobley, of the Inter
national Harvester Company, an
agricultural lecturer of National
reputation, who is in charge of the
train, explained the purpose of the
meeting. This he explained, was
purely educational: The day hav
ing come when all of the work of
the world is done almost entirely
by machinery, it is time for the
farmer to follow the same plan.
Mr. Mobley said the great reason
that so many farmers are going to
the city is because that in the
town the whole work is largely
done by machinery, while, until
the present time the greater part
of the work on the farm has been
done by hand.
After the explanatory address
the meeting adjourned for the
mid-day meal.
In the afternoon more plowing
was done for the benefit of late
arrivals. This varied from the
hillside to more level ground at
top, giving an opportunity to show
the tractor’s adaptability to differ
ent circumstances.
Mr. Mobley again addressed the
meeting in the afternoon, preach
ing the fertility of the soil and the
conservation of plant food by
various means. He also spoke of
the applying of lime as a remedy
for acid soil, calling attention to
the splendid results obtained by
Mr. Parr, south of town about a
mile, by the use of crushed lime
stone and barnyard manure.
Mrs. Addie L. Howie of the
International Harvester Company,
one of the world’s greatest dairy
experts, who was with the agri
cultural extension department of
the University of Wisconsin for
nine years, and who has been
engaged in her present work for
the last two years, then spoke.
Mrs. Howie spoke of the cow.
She spoke of the importance of
the dairy cow in the home, the
community and nation building.

She said that the real solution of
the food problem is the dairy
cow. It is the privilege of the
farmer, as of no other class, to
have milk and its products as
food. She advocated a small herd
on every farm of good dairy cows
rather than a few large dairies.
“The real element of success in
the dairy business,” said Mrs.
Howie, “is that of loving the ani
mals of the herd with which you
are working.” To this she attribu
*
ted her own success with her own
marvelous herd.
Mrs. Howie enjoys the distinc
tion of being the only woman who
ever sold a herd of dairy caitle to
the emperor of Japan. She has
studied the science of dairying in
many lands —especially in France,
England and the United States.
