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 Special Offer to Subscribers For a limited time we will give a year’s subscription to the South ern Agaiculturist without charge to any subscriber, new : r old, who asks for it when paying a year’s subscription to The Henry County Weekly.

Jonesboro, Ga. 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.

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.
