Farm Machinery at Indiana Fair

The Indiana state fair will the week of September 8 show about forty acres of machinery for farm use, including in endless variety all of the newest devices for doing the light and heavy labor of the farm, and showing through demonstrations how these machines may reduce the physical work of the farmers and at the same time give a greater output in fields, orchards, about the home, dairy and barn. No department of the Indiana fair approaches that of machinery in extent of acreage cov-

ered, and no department outranks it in interest for farm men and women. Chief among the exhibits will be the tractor engines, which will give demonstrations of plowing on a thirty-acre tract on the northeast side of the fair grounds, and these gasoline giants will also show their , ability to do the heavy hauling and other exhaustive work which usually falls upon the men and horses. Mechanical milkers, operated by electricity, for reducing work and saving time in a dairy, will be shown in operation.
