TRACTORS
"A. J." is in charge of tractors
at they international Plowing Match.
If you' are, a resident of Huron county -
that sentence would be 'sufficient to
tell you exactly, who eve are referring
to. The man is A. J .1VLeMurray, at
present Mayor of the Town of Clinton
a joh which he has held inciden-
tally quite often in thepast number'
of,yeaxs.
A. J. McMurray is •a man who has
arrived at a point where he can Look
back over a long period of life, a ma-
jority of it spent working around)
machinery. He has been selling talk-
ing, living the "machinery" game for
years. He has followed, the progress
eif power farming in the•, county with
keen interets. It has been his life,
Voile . . and he has one setifaction
that of knowing: that he has
never sold a man a "white elephant"
"My catdulation always has been
that when you seIi a Dian something
you should make a friend of him," he
says; in his soft, school-teaoherish
voice, "I like to be able to dropin and
see a man and see how the -machine
ery is working, and not be afraid to
ktop in front of hie farm"
That very fact is helping him a
'great deal these days) as7 he::gets: ready
for his share of the work in con-
notion with the 1942 International
Plowing Match in Huron county. His
friends are offering them 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 the International Plowing Match.

ing and listen to the marine motors
as the powerful machines speed away
off to •the competitions. ''Youwould
actually wonder how it would be pos-
sible to secure so many of them at
one time.
There are other headaches this year
to be encountered, One is the •mat-
ter of fuel. Another one will be a
.shortage of .laboron many of the
farms and possibly a reluctance on
Me part of some to give up their
machines. The fact that the farm
machinery companies are busy On war
' projects will also make a certain
amount of difference.
