4 POWER FtRIK TO SOLVE ■■PROHIIiS OF ACRKOLTORE #' Cultivating a two-foot stand of cotton with a Fordson tractor-drawn cultivator. ■ J I HE Department of Agriculture of the State College of Pennsylvania, is conducting the most exhaustive ex periments ever undertaken to develop new and varied uses for light tractors on American farms. This development of “power farm ing" for greater economy in time,.labor and general operating costs, is being conducted with the aid of the Depart ment of Agriculture of the Federal Government, through the use of spe cial appropriations from the “Purnell Fund" which the Government has for such purposes. For several years agricultural experts at the State College of Pennsylvania have seen that farmers the country over are not putting their light trac- sibie range of ■i* to the broadest BOMfl __ Too many of the farmers, thev ive found, confine their tractor work to plowing and harrowing, when they might be employing these same light tractors also for planting and cultivate' ing, spraying and for t^e harvesting of a wider variety of crops than have ■ heretofore been thought to be suitable 1 for tractor and tractor equipment, work. The use of horse-drawn equipihent, with the extra time and labor required to handle it and the cost of feeding horses and mules during the compara tively idle winter season, is becoming almost prohibitive to many American farmers. Light tractors are becoming, , cheaper and more efficient. Manufac turers of farm equipment are giving more and more attention to the adap tation of farm machinery to tractor ^ power units. , Experiments such as are being con ducted on the test farms of the State College of Pennsylvania, are heralded as the beginning of the end for old “Dobbin” on the ‘ American farm. future progressive Vickery Bros.

Doctor McDowell was * literally t “doctor of the old school,” the type that thought nothing of the monetary return from his prac tice, He was an adviser of the people, often In financial matters as well as being the custodian of their health and that of their children. He was born in Rockbridge county, Virginia, and had ample opportunity to study the science In which he early decided to spend his life.

It was not until 1870 that a really practical petrol engine appeared. It was the work of Julius Hock, of Vienna. ' Tbe next name connected with the proiresa of the motor car is the ipos* Important of all—that of Gottlieb Daimler. In 1883 Daimler made tbe first small, high-speed petrol engine; all previous engines had been huge, clumsy and slow-moving. . Two years later be Installed his en gine in a motorbicycle, and at the sape time fitted boats with motors and ran them at PdrlaL The boats attracted the attention of Levaaaor, another famous pioneer, who at once saw the Immense possibilities In Daimler’s invention. He bonght the French patents from tbe Inventor. Le- vassor invented a system of transmis sion—a method of taking the power from the engine to tbe wheels—sod with a few small improvements this system Is in use today.

Following the death of David;’ Solo mon was anointed king (I Kings 1:5-40). David had failed to show tbe people wbo should be king after him (v. 20). Though an old man, he Is stirred Into action by the combined ap peals of feathsheba and Nathan. He Immediately sent for tbe faithful three —Zadok, Nathan and Beulah, and com manded, them to anoint Solomon king I. Qod’a Qracioua Offer (tv. 4, 5). Solomon made a lavish sacrifice to the Lord. Tbe magnitude of the offer ing shows that he bad strong impulses toward God and that be was unwilling to hold anything back from God. Fol lowing the sacrifice, the Lord made to him this gracious offer. This offer was iiot on the basis that the Lord cared for the number of animals, bat the attitude of the man’s hpart toward him. “Ask what I shall give |hee,“ placed very.jrffie possibilities before the king. God, ae It were, signed blank checks and turned them over to Solomon to fill in any amount that his' heart desired. This was not a reckless act on the part of God, for He foreknew what waa In Solomon’s heart to ask. .This offer to Solomon la no exceptional one, for opportn- nltlea equally limitless are placed be fore oa. God te laying to every one of His children, “Ask and It abhll be given you.” The matter with its limi tations la placed before os In John 15:7. "If ye abide In Me and My worda abide In you,' ye shall ask what ye will, and It ahali be done onto you." These unlimited offers are open to those who abide In Christ and let His words abide In them. II. Solomon’s Wise CMcs (w. 69). The ford's gracious offer brought the king face to flee with the ro- sponslblllty of making a choice. Ther* was no middle course open to him. God deals with all His children In auch a way that a choice must made by them. Solomon waa keenly aware of tbe difficulty and respond blllty of his position. David was I great king. For a young mao to take up the work of an Illustrious father and push It to completion Is a most difficult task. Comparatively few ever succeed. Besides this, he bad to deal with the disturbing elements which had been set In motion by the usurper. AdonIJah. Being made to shoulder no great a responsibility so suddenly. brought him to keenly fed his Insnf fidency. In his reply to God be plead ed thaf his being king waa not of bis own choice but an act of God’s loving kindness. He argued that, since God had made him king. He waa bound to qualify him to fill the place. All wbo have been called of God to fill pool tlons of honor and trust can surely exercise that same boldness of faith. When called to positions of honor and tpi«t should hzaabi; prvsenf bur •elves before God f$r help. To feel ourselves unworthy and unfit for great and responalbtle work and to cast our- aolvoa upon God for help la not cow ardice, but a good sign that wa ft>sii not fall at the critical moment Solo mon’s object In asking for wisdom was oot for display but for the good of, others. ' III. God’s Unstinted Gift (w. 10-15). * Solomon’s speech pleased tbe Lord. God gave him* mpre than he asked. Because he put wisdom first, God saw that he could be trusted with material good also. Christ saw the same thing when He said. “Seek ye first the king dom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto yon” (Matt 6:83). He who puts God and spiritual things first In time and Importance can be trusted with temporal things. That which God promised him above what be asked was riches, honor and length of daya. _A11 who feel the lack of wisdom ^an go to God with confidence (Jas. 1:5). God blessed Solomon with a singular ly comprehensive mind (I Kings 4:29-34). He was a botanist zoologist architect, poet and moral philosopher.
