Spectator the Judges.
Groups of interested spectators gath-
ered to watch each machine and moved
from one plot of ground to another
where different machines were being put
through their paces. No competitive
-awards were made but each spectator
was allowed to I'oini his own judgment
aa to the merits of the different ma-
chines. A few of the tractors were
working on plots of ground especially
get aside for them while others followed
each other around a larger plot each
plowing its sbare.
- A. feature that attracted the eye of
the ineiperienced was the strong con-
trast in the sie and genera appearance
of the different machines. Kieept for
the fact that Ibey were designed for the
SUM purpose " would hardly seem that
all could be listed under the one name of
tractor.
There were giant caterpillars and lit-
tle caterpillars; there were tractors with
iasmense drive wheels and tractors with
Bailer driTe wheels but all were prov-
ing their ability to do the hardest kind of
work that a farmer could put them to.
The fanner was left to judge for himself

and while one is demonstrating in the
field another is kept in or near the ex-
hibit tent with a representative to ei

round each tractor for the greater part
of the day.

W. I. Stallings. manager of the.agri-
eultaral department of the Chamber of
Commerce said Tuesday nig lit lie was
delighted with the complete success of
the first day's demonstration. He said
that ery demonstrator had expressed
a similar opinion and that all hands
agreed that a better first day could not

.. Mr. Stalling said the grounds for
narking ears would be in a much im-
proved condition Wednedav and that all
k who came would be taken care of. Many
motorists drove by liicsda but on ac
count of the road being lined uitli parked
ears fromDeepwater to l'asadena thev
turned around and went back to Hous-
ton.

ton do not yet realize the inazuituije of
the demonstration that jirobublv tin y do

be plowed and that this is the first dem-
onstration of its kind ever held. .Manu-
facturing concerns have sent their rna-
cfainea here from across the continent
especially for this occasion. He urged
that ererjr Houstoniau get out on one iav
of the demonstration and see the big
farm machines work.
Basners snouia see it.
" ' Bankers especially should witness the
performances Mr. Stallings declared. If
bankers have a better idea f what a
tractor means to a farmer in the way of
increased production at less cost they
will find meanirof making more frequent
loaas for the purchase of tractors ac-
cording to Mx. Stallings.
H. L. Robertson one of the demon-
strators also emphasized this point de-
rlaring that the best thing the demonstra-
tion could do would be to demonstrate to
the bankers the real value of the trac-
tor. The banker needs education in this
line as much ss the farmer does Mr.
Uobortson said.
