Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist Change! Marlboro county is specially interested in farm mechaniza tion. Assistant County Agent D. E. Epps is specializing in that subject there. The en gineering subcommittee of their agricultural committee, with his assistance, has worked out a definite plan for advancing the machine on the farms of the county and for getting bet ter results from it. A farm machinery fair is a part of their plan. It is to be held on March 23-24. All sorts of farm and home machines 'will be on hand to demonstrate and advise. Epps tells of finding a good farm tractor practically ruin ed by simply being left out in the weather for about four months with its upright ex haust pipe uncovered. Water had got in and rusted the valved and cylinders so that it required a major overhaul ing before it would operate again. Such details as that are among the things we need to learn when we turn from the mule to the machine. Many farm machinery schools have been held and more will be. One farmer who uses five tractors wrote me that his re pair bills was two-thirds less after his drivers attended a tractor school put on by Clem- son’s Mr. Willis. And another one told me that, among many other things Mir. McKenzie of Clemson showed them an adjustment on a combine that remedied the only trouble he had ever had with this. He hadn’t known that this adjustment was even on the machine. To get the most out of these machines, we must master them. The mule looked after himself, oiled his own joints, and made his own adjustments. All we had to do was put the But for the machine, we have feed and water in reach of him. to do all Of the thinking, oil ing, and adjusting. And if we don’t do those things, it soon breaks down.

That will be Mar tin J. Hogan, dean of Ameri can dog men and one of the dominant and fascinating fig ures in the world of hunting dogs. He’s likely to pop up at trials anywhere, according to outdoor writer Gordon Mac- Quarrie. One week he may be handling his own spaniels in the East, and the next judg ing a retriever trial in Ne braska, Minnesota or Washing ton state. Known affectionately and reverently as the “Old Man” Hogan has brought to the Unit ed States a vast know-how of the hunting breeds and a warm Irish heart that sends him all over the country helping inex perienced sportsmen organize clubs and hold field trials. He has traveled hundreds of miles at his own expense doing this sort of thing, and wherever he goes, judging trials, or just giving advice, he makes friends. Hogan was a gamekeeper and professional trainer in England and Ireland, and came to the United States via Alberta, where he operated a wheat farm for a short while after WV>rld War !•. He specializes in the training and handling of retrievers and spaniels, and from the Hogan kennels at Barrington, Illinois, have come scores of typy working Labra dors and springer spaniels to bolster and improve the strains of those breeds in this country. Space hardly peripits nam ing the great Labradors which he has trained—Nigger and Tyke and Kitty of Barrington, Glenairlie Rocket, Fret’haven, Jay were a few. A Hogan- trained sponger, Dalshangan Pomme d e Terre. gave the Middle West its first concept of the class a springer can at tain. The Old Man respects good working dogs. He will, if need be, sacrifice beauty in a hunt ing dog for utility, but he holds fast to the belief that the two can be blended. He doesn’t give a whoop who wins at field trials. “Tey are mere ly schools for men and dogs.” For Expert Repair Bring Your Radio To GEO. N.
