Plowing With
out the Hand of
Man to Guide
Tractor Equipped With Electrical De
vice, Invention of Grand Is
land Man Does Work
Lincoln, Neb. With an amazed,
awed and motley cr.owd of farmers,
professors and business men follow
ing iU furrow, a tractor, guided by
no human hand, plowed a 20-acre
field on the state farm, on the D. L.
D. highway near University Place
Wednesday.
It was controlled by an electrical
device that will automatically stop
the tractor if it should leave the fur
row, or when it has completed its
work. It is the invention of F. L.
Zybach, 32-year-old motor car inspec
tor for the Union Pacific at Grand
Island, who made ti six years ago
when he was farming. He grew tired
of the tedium of riding a tractor
plow, made his first crude self-plowing
machine, and found time to re
pair fences, thresh, or go to the mov
ies while the tractor did the farm
work.
Those seeing the demonstration to
day are convinced that it may mean
that the. honest farmer of the future;
will be able to rest in the shade of j
his vine and fig tree while the un-i
canny machine will do the work.j
Except for the plowing of the first j
furrow, which must be done to
make a guide for the tractor, with
corners curved instead of square,
and except for replenishing the gaso
line and cil in the machine, it needs
no attention whatsoever.
Farmers Were Worried.
The device can be made for any
tractor, but the model demonstrat
ing idoay is attached to a Fordson
and sells for $35.
Zybach said today that when he
sought a fortune on a farm near(J
Grand Island in 1921, he grew tied of
the hot and dusty work cf riding the(J
plow. So he fastened his first con-'J.
trolling device, a crude affair that inj.J.
the main, however, resembles the in- !.
strument of today. With some gasj.t.
pipe and heavy tin, some wood andj
some copper thumb tacks, he made
his first mechanical driver. The first
day he let it go it worked, and so
he intended to have it plow all night
while he slept.
Toward midnight he was aroused
by neighboring farmers. They "rais
ed hell" he says, demanding that he
stop the plowing, as they were afraid

the night, and plow a wild career

it, but the next day invited them to
a demonstration oi us saieiy.
When they saw that if it got out
of the furrow, it stopped, they were
reconciled, and the second night it
plowed all through the dark hours.

Peter at Pentecost.

was to say goodby until His second

the people is not to drink early in
the morning and these men are not
drunk as you suppose, but they are
rejoicing over the fact of the message
of the New Life which was brought
from the Father by His son, Jesus
Christ, whom, when He came in the
Father's name and. you slew Him, and
He was raised from the dead the third
da' and after forty days ascended
into heaven from where He came.

was by you that He was condemned

After the crucifixion and the res

to fishing, when the Master appeared
i to them on the shore of the sea of
Gallilee, and they did not have the
sterling courage which they poasessed
later. . Thev were at this nlace and
a:wheT, the TIolv Snlrit came unon them
bapti2ing them reallv into the work
which had been given them to do.
;do anything for the cause of the Mas-
Uer who had eiven His life that all
might live. Peter said "This Jesus
did God raise up, where of we are
witnesees." For did not He and John
visit and enter the sepulcher on the
morning of the resurrection, and met
Him a number of times after, before
the ascension of the Lord of Glory in
t heaven and they were indeed the
very best of witnesses for the Cnrist,
f or did not their lives testify in His
i
t-ehalf during all the subsequent
years, even to their giving their very
lives for His cause and His sake.
"Being therefore at the right hand
of God exaulted, and having received
cf the Father the promise of the Holy
Spirit. He hath poured fourth this
which you see and hear" continued
Peter. Let all the house of Israel (for
he was speaking also to the Jews)
therefore know assurredly. that God
ihcth made Him both Lord and Christ
j this Jesus whom you crucified. By
the resurrection and ascension of tlio
j Master to heaven, God the Father had

to a tree, but now you come asking
what means this great commotion.
It is now reasonable that when par

people had been released from their
prison and were given the boon of
eternal life that they should feel the
joy which their countenances radiate
and their actions bespeak.

This was the intial starting of th
church which was to continue until
the last enemy to be conquered is
death.
While this the initial work of the
church since tbe ascension of Christ,
wa3 a glorious beginning, still thero
remained pnl has ever remained, and
will for all time remain, work for
those who are willing to do it. With
the heroic example which the apostles
have given the world, we should do
all in our power to show the appre
ciation for the boon which the Master
has given us at tho cost of His life.
There is work for us all to do In
each diy, be it little or much which
will assist in the making of the way

goal more certain for those who are
discouraged, byt their treading the
rough and rugged pathway. The mot

the one which we should all adopt.
and this with our elbows tuching each

most.
The, response of the world to tho
plight of those now in the flood coun
try of the Mississippi valley, is un
excellent testimony that tbe gospel
of Christ is being carried to many
parts of the earth.
