The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLV. 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. A Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of McDonough and Henry County.

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. The meeting as a whole was a great success.
