TRACTOR SHOW ALL READY FOR STATE FAIR VISITORS Show Expected to Be One of the Big Features of the Fair. Indianapolis, Ind. —(Special.)—The big tractor show at the State Fair la all ready for the opening day. Plans are laid for taking care of the immense crowds that are expected to visit this show. , Because 1 of the unusual interest in tractors and power farming this year it was decided to get the tractor people to make an exhibit In one big tent where farmers could see and compare all the various makes and styles of tractors. As a result of this idea tractors of most of the well-known makes are now gathered together in one big display. It Is the biggest showing of tractors that has ever been made in the state. There is no admission charge to this show. It is an exhibit of general interest and is free to all. The farm labor shortage is causing many farmers to investigate the use of tractors and power farming equipment, because they realize that the tractor is the only thing that offers even a partial remedy for this labor shortage that confronts them. Many* farmers in the past have thought of the tractor much as they have thought of the auto, that it would probably be a good thing to have but was something that they could do without for the present. However, the need of increasing their production and at the same time of reducing their costs has caused many men to look seriously into the .power farming possibilities as applied to their farms. As a result the Interest in tractors has been widespread and the' demand for them has been in excess of the supply. It is expected that practically every farmer that goes to the Fair this year will see the tractor show. He will find much to interest him whether he ever expects to use a tractor or not. —Advt.
