Elder Demonstrates Plow That Almost Runs Itself

There used to be a song with words that ran something1 like this: "Hear the merry farmer boy uh.stlii:g as he ploughs." The sons didn'v X) on to say that he whistled to keep up his courage as he trudged wearily down tb- furrow. Hut that's probably why he did whistle and wish at the same time that he could sit in some shady sp. by the fenc and let the dd horse and plough plug a Ion:; without him behind them. If arnbody had told liim that one day. and that not far fiff, he could go o r and sit in 'he shade, on th? jrnte maybe, pull his straw hat over his e es, suing his barer feet in the cool air. and whistle all the songs he ever knew, while the plough went right along doing business without him. his; lower Jaw would likely have dropped clear off its hinges. I;ut nothing surprises the farmerboy today, so his facial anatomy won't be endangered by the tractionploughing exhibition at the fair, people do stand around open-mouthed, howewer. to see the plow set, and start off in the wake of its enp.:tc, with no piouuh-boy aboard. Ilhler Doineujstratc. I-'. W, Castle, presiding elder of the Linden Avenue Christian church, is the plouh-bov that runs the International Harvester Co.'s traction engine that pulls the Oliver plow, and Mr. Castle explained details of construction and eqeration with a clearness that should have made every bystander feel the pull to get aboard and plough up the fiedd. "Is your tandem intelligent enough to turn tho corners all by itself?" Mr. Castle laughed. "I haven't let it try that yet. I think it eloe.s enough without that. Just take a close loik at that engine. It weighs less than .".ooo lbs.. Is a 16-horse power, and has a pressure of but 10 lbs. to tho square foot." "How much eif th power does it take to pull the plow?"

Praise after praise was heaped upon Abo Frank, oresident of the bit. Joseph County Fair and Amusement assoeiatio , at a luncheon given by him at the Oliver hotel Friday night for the horsemen, superintendents of the various departments f tho Interstate fair and the newspapermen. In appre c iation of the work of Mr. Frank he was presented with a South Jiend watch by the business men of th city. From the opening address by C. A. Carlisle to the closing talk by Abe Livingston, there was nothing but sentiments of appreciation ef Mr. Frank's work in making the Interstate fair a success. The fact that Mr. Frank has been in South Uend le-s than a year and has become one of the lending citizens was emphasized by every speaker that brought up his name1. DKciiss All Phases. Talks on every phase of the Interstate fair were given. There were discussions eif everything from the work that has been accomplished for the present fair to the reminiscences of Samuel beeper on the last event of this kind held here more than -0 years ago. Mr. Leeper discussed the proposition of securing- Pottawatomie park, the old fair grounds, which was fought through two legislatures and twice defeated. Friday night's affair given by Mr. Frank showed further the good feeling between the fair association edfie ials aid the horsemen and edher exhibitors who contributed to the success of the event. Many of the horsemen who attended the luncheon said it was the first time they had ever been banqueted by fair elireetors. NVpapors (Jet Hand. The contribution etf the press in assisting in making the Interstate fair a success yas commented upon by both William A. Mclnerny. who acteJ as toastmaster. and Mr. Fri ak.

"Just half. The other half Is used in running th engine. "What's this lon arm-like piece at the fore?" That's tho steering device. That's what keeps the machine in a straight course and the plough in the furrow, and it's also what gives the ploughboy a chance to take life easy. He sets the steering riht, and the engine and plough do the rest." "How fast Jo you go?" Make' 2'4 Miles Per Hour. "Well, we make 2Vi miles an hour, or oo an acre per hour, in ordinary soil." "How do you manage the weeds?" "The plow takes cae of those. ec those cutters." Mr. Castle pointed to two elisc-like wheels about 14 inches apart, and set in front of the ploughshares. "They arc called coulters and they do the weed-cutting. The piece at the side of each disc is the jointer. The jointers turn the weeds under. The ploughshares cut to a depth of eight Inches. The jointers turn the weeds under te a depth of four inches. That means four inches of mellow soil." "What happens if the ploughshares strike an obstruction?" "The plough is attached to the engine by a demountable pin. If it breaks i." is easily taken out and another inserted. And if the ploughshare breaks it is detached almost as easily." Mr. Castle demonstrated this by unscrewing a small, threaded wheel from a pinion that held the ploughshare in place. "And if the plough needs lifting over the ohobstruction, there is the lever to do it with." The three-button gang plough is in Oliver r,2, the engine a kerosenehurningMogul, and the exhibitors are demonstrating thoroughly the pracMcabilit.v of the outfit's use on me-dlvm-slzetl farms.
