BIG FORDSON FARMING DEMON
STRATION, NOVEMBER 7-8, 1921
H. M. Amis Co., local dealers for
Fordson Tractors and implements
built especially for the Fordson
Tractor have advised us that they
will hold a big Fordson Tractor
and implement demonstration at
McDonough, Ga, on Monday and
Tuesday, November 7th and Bth,
assisted by representatives of the
Ford Motor Company, manufac
turers of the Fordson Tractor,
David T. Bussey of Atlanta, author
ized Fordson Implement distribut
or, Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
Roderick Lean Mfg, Co., Stover
Mfg. & Eng. Co., and other imple
ment manufacturers, all of whom
manufacture equipment designed
especially for use with the Ford
son Tractor.
Plows of different types, har
rows, culti-packers, ditchers, grain
drills, grist mills, and feed grind
mg mills, including corn ard alfalfa
grinders, and other belt driven
equipment will be shown giving
hundreds of farmers from this and
surrounding counties a concrete
example of the manifold uses of
the Fordson Tractor ir. the eco
nomic operation of the farm. The
demonstration will be very com
plete and every piece of equio
ment will be fully explained by
factory experts.
As a means of reducing labor
costs and to show the new possi
bilities of farming in this section
by the use of Fordson Tractors I
and improved farm machinery'
which automatically reduce labor j
costs the demonstration will cer
tainly prove to be the most irn-'
pressive from an agricultural
standpoint that has been witnes
sed in this section.
In addition to the farm machin
ery display several manufacturers
will send soil and other experts to
lecture on Fordson farming and
its economic advantages. An in
teresting and educational lecture
will be given on correct seed bed
preparation. This lecture will be
illustrated by stereopticon slides
and moving picture films. These
slides and films will show especi
ally prepared 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 j
sprout, take root and grow from |
the time the seed is planted under!
the soil in botli types of seed beds. I
You can see the moisture rise and

reach the seed more qnickiy 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 prep ired seed bed ger
minates and growth starts eight
days in advance of the seed plant
ed in the incorrectly prepared
seed bed. You see the roots be
gin to sprout downward followed
later by the top sprout pushing
upward and thru the soil.
The slides and films give a visi
ble lesson in the procer prepara
tion of the soil for all crops and the
lecture which accompanies them
is said to be the most striking on
advanced agriculture ever heard
in the South. They are really
wonderful andevery farmer should
avail himself of this opportunity
to see them as they must be seen
to be appreciated. Weather per
mitting, the slides and pictures
will be shown in the open, and the
famous Magnavox Telemegaphone
will be used insuring each one
present of hearing every word
that is spoken. Popular musical
selections will also be rendered
thru the use of this wonderful
instrument. This feature will
prove of unusual interest as it will
afford the majority of those pres
ent the opportunity of hearing the
Magnavox Telemegaphone for the
first time.
There can be no doubt that such
demonstrations have high merit
in making the value of power
farming more generally known
thru out this section and in plac
ing mechanical aid on many farms
where owners are worrying with
labor problems and crops con
ditions. Another value is that by
the use of improved machinery
the average acreage can be main
tained in cultivation and idle farms
again made productive. Such
power farming demonstrations
held on the scale as organized by
the Fordson people have a great
benefit by reason of the valuable
instructions it gives to farmers and
the impetus it creates thru the
adoption of power farming on a
more extensive scale, in sections
of the state where it is badly
needed. Surelv demonstrations
of this kind are milestones in ag
ricultural progress.
An unusually large attendance
is exeected, and a cordial invita
tion is extended to every one" by
(I. M. Amis Co., who will cheer
fully furnish any additional infor
mation.

Two Men Killed in
Train and Auto Crash
Two deaths were the toll of an
accident which happened here on
Thursday, when the Central of
Georgia pafsseneer train, No. 10,
Atlanta to Macon, crashed into a
truck at the crossing just north of
the depot.
R. I. Berry, 65-year old Clayton
farmer, was instantly killed, and
his brothor, J. M. Berry, 58 years
old, died at an Atlanta hospital,
where he was rushed a few min
utes following the fatal crash.
The aged farmers were driving
slowly, reports stated. They were
coming into Jonesboro, but had
taken a side road which leads up
to the main crossing, making a
diagonal cut and forming an in
tersection with the main highway
just where it crosses the railroad
tracks.
The passenger train was moving
swiftly and struck the heavily
laden truck squarely broadside,
hurling both occupants several
feet ‘-nid practically demolishing
the truck. The fact that the men
were thrown to the side by com
pact of the locam dive saved them
from being run over by the en
gins.—Clayton County News.
