We started off first with the grain drying and storage dem onstrations. Next was the land preparation demonstration and the planting of row crops. Pre- 1 paring land and seeding alfalfa, pastures and small grain was our next stop. Then we walked over to the hay making demonstration where we saw modern type mowers' cutting alfalfa and side, delivery racks and crushers put ting the hay in windrows. Fol lowing this a pick-up hay baler using a wagon hook on behind picked up the hay, baled it, and tied it automatically and tossed it on the wagon mechanically. When the wagon was loaded it was de tached and hauled to the barn with another tractor where the MOTOR BOAT SALE NOW GOING ON CASH DISCOUNTS LIBERAL TRADE-INS ON OUR STOCK OF Evinrude Outboard Motors j AND ‘ Boats Motors Trailers ’57 New Evinrude Motors ’57 New Boats ' S'/ 2 HP—WAS $234.00 rfil AA O C Molded Plywood 14-Ft. d» Q 1 A QC NOW Mvt/iS/3 Fisherman; was $365.00 XOW w<s 1 •»/9 * V/ 2 HP—WAS $264.50 $219 95 14-Ft.

The mechani ! cal cotton picker was in opera tion. Harvesting corn with a small and large combine was our next stop. They explained that in a matter of less than one hour ! these machines could be convert j ed for harvesting soybeans and small grain. Forage harvesters ensilage equipment was observed. The small and large type irriga tion equipment was in operation. Subsoilers for breaking hardpans was demonstrated. Two, four.! and six row planting and culti vating equipment was -demon j strated. 1 In the industrial equipment i area, we observed land leveling and forming equipment, trench : digging equipment, iire-lane ploughing equipment, mechanical j tree planters, and many hther pieces of equipment suitable for both industrial use and farm use. It was truely a revelation to see all if the different types of equip ment in action here.

The day was hot > and dry, but the sprinkler wa gons kept the driveways sprinkled i so that the dust hazard was held jto a minimum.

I want to j congratulate the group from Cho- I wan County for taking out time to attend because occasions of this kind enlarge our vision and broaden our knowledge of this mechanical age of agriculture. “Sew-It-Yourself” Fashion Show At HD Council Meet A “Sew-It-Yourself” Fashion Show will highlight the Home Demonstration County Council program on Wednesday, Septem ber 18.

Always behave as if nothing had - happened no matter what has happened. —Arnold Bennett. Timely Advice For Peanut Growers Peanut harvesting for most growers is approximately four weeks away and at this stage of the game there is very little that a writer could say to tell the pea nut grower what to do. How ever, a few timely reminders should be of material value in urging that things get done which might be overlooked. It is getting rather late to haul the old oea picker to the black smith shop for repairs: however, if that has not been done, only about sixty days remain for the job to be done, and remember that your picker will probably not be the only one in the black smith shop. If you do not think repairs are needed, now is a good time to get the picker out, grease it up, put the power to it and let .ft run for a few minutes and see. If there are unknown repair? which are needed. A little effort now will save a considerable amount of time, worry and loss of picking activity at a later date. Another thing at this time which should be checked into is digging equipment.
