A "CATERPILLAR" AS A PLOW HORSE
A Talc of a Trip to John Crow' Uniu-li niul Some Fuels About a Ills
Whtnit -Man,
Plowing 35 acres a day and doing j
the work of 40 horses, a "caterpillar"
engine Is dally tolling away for John
Crow, the big reservation farmer. At
this tlmo the machine Is at work on
the Isaacs: place, between McKay and
Tutulllu. ami Is engaged in plowing a
4 80 acre field. In company with Mr.
Crow a trip to the scene of operations
was made toduy by a representative
of the East Oregonlan and by Miss
F!e k, librarian of the public library
who is from Wisconsin and is anxious
to learn of western ways and condi
tions. She had a "joy rido" on board
the "caterpillar" and declnres she en
joyed the experience Immensely.
"The caterpillar engine Is the right
thing and It does the work," said' Mr.
Crow, as he stood by the side of his
auto and watched the crawling mon
ster go along, at what would be a fast
walk for a horse, and drak four three
bottom plows behind It. Chief among
the advnntagrs of the caterpillar are
that It does not have to bo fed during
the winter months, It does not have to
be harnessed and unharnessed. It does
Its work faster than horses and it
saves a Tilred man or two.
At this time Claude Crow, son of
John Crow, is serving as chauffeur
for the caterpillar and he has one
man to care for the plows. With this
crew of two men and a machine fed
by gasoline, 36 acres of ground Is cov
ered every day. '
But the caterpillar is not a perfect
machine yet, by any means. "They
neid to make ft few Improvements
In order to pet it right." says the
owner of the Crow machine. "The
magneto Is too cheap and there are
some o'her betterments that will come
about In time, as the engine Is made
more and moro perfect"
IMowlna 1200 Acres.
This spring Mr. Crow Is using his
caterpillar to plow not only his own
land but to turn under many acres'
for some neighbors. He Is farming
801 acres himself, but will ploy a
total of about 1200 acres with the
machine on Its present run.
Not Always Thus.
"How did you farm when you first
came to this country?" Mr. Crow was
asked, after the workings of tha cat
terplllar and Its 12 trailing plows had
been duly observed.
"When I first came here I was as
broke as a d'g and I worked for wa
ges up near Milton," he replied. "I
Boon found that a man could not make
anything working for wages and went
to llepptii r, where I took up a 160
: r..n.-h. A year later I sold that
LIST OF DONORS TO
F
place for 500 and came to Pendleton.
I first rented land north of town and
made a llttlo money the first year. We
used walking plows then. The next
year I had three nunrrcr sections to
farm and I bought 'two gang plows.
That year I made a profit of $5000."
1I Also I.ot Money.
Hut wheat farming in Umatilla
county has not always been the big
money making business It has been
during recent years. Though he
made money in the early days of his
farming career, John Crow also had
the experience of "going broke" dur
ing the hard times. It was In 1815
that he lost a crop through rain and
had a $5000 mortgage that was duo
and could not be paid. When that
mortgage was satisfied Mr. Crow was
In much the same position as when
Now that the first Installment of
work on the new $12,000 Hound-up
park is all but completed and the next
installment ready to begin, it Is fit
and proper that It be known to the
world nt large who were the donors
to the fund wliich made possible an
improvement which will not only ac
commodate the big wild west show
and the thousands who will come to
see It but will, long afer the word
Kound-un has become only a memory,
be a eredit and a source of pride to
the city.

A Progressive! Tanner.
I'nlike some other big wheatralsers
of this section. John Crow Is not a
"standpatter" In the matter of agri
cultural methods. He believes in
progress and Is willing to make moro
money than at present if he can as
certain how to do so. Therefore be
Is devoting 40 acres of good reserva
tion land to experimental crops. He
has long had an alfalfa pas'ure that
has been the envy of other reserva
tion farmers. He Is now trying out
some field peas, some millet and su
gar beets. The field peas were seed
oil this spring and at the same time
a crop was put In by his neighbor,
Charles Hamilton. That the .field
pea will grow with success in this
country Mr. Crow Is hopeful and he
Is going to give that crop a trial. If ;
he finds the field pea properly pro- ,
ductive ho will use It as a summer
tallow crop. In other words, ho will
seed the field peas early In the
spring, thresh or hog off the crop
eaily in the summer and then proceed
with the summer fallowing during
the rest of the season. In this way
be Is following out the suggestions of
