Mclaughlin Terrebonne, Oregon H)KU TIl.UTOH 8KT KKCORO Word comet from Il-nry Ford't tractor plant near Detroit, that the Kordsou production figures are Jiiin pliiK monthly, and that nearly half of the tractors now being manufac tured in this country art Pordsons. Whan the notor-wliard began experimenting with tractors some twelvs years sgo, be Is credited with baring promised farmers that ma chins tbat would make farming "what It ought to be the moat pro fitable and pleaaant profession In tb world." Deviating from old tractor beliefs and manufacturing customs, be Ml kbout building s tight, mobile tractor a tractor not especially for lies on the big farms snd ranches, but so constructed that It would ban die the work on the smaller farms. The principles of manufacturing and selling wbicb had brought the Ford car to success art now applied to tbs tractor. As a result nearly 150,0001 Kordsons have gone Into service; ap proximately one-third of the tractors iu use In the United Butts are Ford sons ibis In spits of tbs fact tbat the Fordnon has been on lbs market only a little over two years. June wss a great month In tbs Fordson Industries, but It has been eclipsed by July. Not content with bruaklng production records onue, lbs five Fordson assembly plants shattered tbs mark during July by turning out 9,766 Fordsons, or 617 more than In June. Never before bave tbs Fordson plants smashed re cords on two consecutive months, and the bope Is expressed In view of production figures to date, tbat Aug ust will sue still another high mark established, The plants averaged Hi tractors daily against J 61 In th month of June. The Dearborn, Michigan, plant bas been doing the bulk of the work. In addition to supplying parts for the other Fordson plants, 4,186 tractors were completed, which Is nsarly bait the number which broke tbs record At 8t. Louts, 1,101 tractors were turned out; 2,841 at Dei Moines; 810 at Kearney, New Jersey, which commenced, sasembly work lata In June, snd tit st Cork, Ireland. The Hamilton, Ohio, plant which bas just commeuced to play an Im portant role turned out 2,740 trans missions which were shipped to the various plants. Although July saw the breaking of the June record, there was no day upon which s greater number of tractors Vers as sembled than the record day of June 20, when 645 were finished. Adv. W MOOI DKKRAIDKD OF GOOD MO.N'UY Many of tbs rural schools were de frauded of good money, on account of the purchase of charts and maps by the directors from some smooth talking agent wbo made tbe rounds early this summer. According to J. K. Myers, county school superintendent, these charts and maps ars many years out of date and of course cannot be used, as they do not measure np to present me thods and courses of study. t'p-to-date supplies could have been secured direct from any good publishing bouse, or through 'the county superintendent or stats sup erintendent, at one-third or one fourth the outlay spent on these. In many instances lbs agent sold as many as three charts to one school. ile sold globes at $00.00 that tbe real school supply houses are now selling for 210.00 to f 12.00. Much publicity should be given to the activities of agents of tkis kind in ordvr to prevent tbe same kind of a thing from happening again, and to keep other communities from be ing buncoed out of good money for absolutely worthless goods. KOItKHT FIRE PAXGKRH ARE OVKK, FIRHT. 8XOW FALLH. The first snow of the season fell last week ,ln tbe mountains, both on tbe east and west. Mr. Ireland, Sr. arrived in town Sunday and reported eight Inches of snow on Lookout He was forced to return to Prlnevllle on account of tbe scarcity of forage for his horses. He has been at the summit of the mountain during the summer. Reports from tbe McKenzle High way show five feet of snow on the high passes on Friday. However, this Is very soft snow, and It is ex pected that It will soon melt J. E. Myers returned Saturday af ter visiting the rural schools In tbe Paulina district. According to Ml. Myers, school activities In that part of the county are starting off in a very promising manner. The home stead district schools, which have been depleted of pupils by the de parture of settlers for more prosper ous sections, are filling up again. The homesteaders, encouraged by the good crops In this country this year, are returning to the land. SHOW AND COUNTY FAIR E X; H -I B. I T S Classes for everything. No entry fees.
