J. McMurray, at present Mayor of the :Town of Clinton a job which he -has held incident- ally quite often in the past number of years.

He has been selling, talk- ing, living the "machinery" game for years. He has followed the progress of power farming in the county with keen interest. It has heart his life Work and he has One satisfaction , that of 'knowing that he has never sold a marl a "white elephant."

Of The, Big Plowing Match voice, "I like to be able to drop in and see a map and see how the mach- inery is working, and not be afraid to stop in front of his farm." That very fact is helping him a great deal these days as he gas ready for his share of the work in connection with the 9421 International Plowing Match in Huron county. His friends are offering their help on every side and it makes the task . . , which is not an easy one . . . a great deal lighter. They use a lot. of tractors nowadays at an International Plowing Match.
