WELCOMES PUBLIC
TO TRACTOR SHOW
President Wok of Fremont
Cforamercial Club Tells of
Many Attractions There
During Plow Exhibit.
N By GEORGE F. WOXZ,
President Fremont Commercial Club.
Fremont. Neb.. Ausr. 1. fSnecian
The growth of the National Power
farming Demonstration from a little
show of eighteen tractors plowing a
held of 160 acres to the oresent mam
moth demonstration when upwards of
250 tractors, including all types will
be seen on exhibition covering 3,006
acres ot stubbie land, is m brief, the
history of the tractor show in the
five years since these demonstrations
were started in Fremont.
As the result of the first little show
m August. 1913. when not over 10.
000 people visited the fields east of
rremont during the week to see the
iron horses oerform. the National
Tractor show has grown to the pres
ent mammoth proportions. It is the
one show held in the United States
that has the support of the tractor
manufacturers.
How They Started.
These - tractor demonstrations
started through a conversation be
. tween ( the representatives of the
Twentieth Century Farmer and rep
resentatives of the Fremont Commer
cial club in the spring of 1913, when
the Twentieth Century Farmer made
inquiry of the club, as to the possi
bility of securing a small strip of
land in the vicinity of Fremont to
hold a demonstration. The idea at
once looked like one which would be
feasible to the parties interested, and
Fremont being awake to the situation
grasped the opportunity and joined
with the Twentieth Century Farmer
in putting on the first demonstration,
at which time 160 acres of ground
were plowed with an estimated at
tendance of 10,000 visitors.
At the conclusion of the show,
being such a great success, plans were
laid for the 1914 demonstration at
which time the tractors entered had
increased to twenty-eight, or almost
double the number of the previous
year. The amount of land plowed
was doubled and estimated attendance
on the grounds were placed to 20,000.
Becomes Annual Event.
After the 1914 demonstration, it was
decided to make this an annual af
fair with the result that forty-eight
iron horses were demonstrated. Dur
ing the 1915 show the acreage was in
creased to 400 acres and 50,000 peo
ple visited the grounds. As each
succeeding year had proven larger
than the qne before, so 1916 was so
much larger than 1915 as 191' was
larger than 1914.
Sixty tractor 'manufacturing firms
were represented at the demonstra
tion last year, when 800 acres of
land jvere plowed. The total at
tendance was estimated at 123,000.
The largest daily attendance of this
year was 40,000.
It must be conceded this was a
phenomenal increase when it is taken
into consideration there, were seven
other, demonstrations - held in that
year, but Fremont had as large a
representation as three or four of the
other shows combined, therefore it
was decided by the national associa
tion to hold only one demonstration
in 1917 and Fremont -was selected,
with the result that practically 100
firms are entered with a representa
tion of at least 250 tractors. The
grounds are greatly enlarged and
each one of the firms has doubled its
tent capacity. Three thousand acres
of land have been obtained for plow-
ing, which will allow an average of
600 acres per day, so the 1917 dem
onstration will eclipse anything of
the kind ever held.
' Expect Huge Crowd.
It is estimated that at least 200,000
people will visit Fremont during the
demonstration and" the various com
mittees are diligently working out de
tailed plans for handling them.
Reservations are being made in pri
vate residences for .guests. Fifteen
hundred rooms have been assigned to
the Commercial club in addition to,
the hotel facilities. Reservations have ,
been asked for from all parts of the
United States and a great many for
eign countries will be represented.
Arrangements have been made for
parking at least ten special Pullman
cars, which will be on trackage dur
ing the week for parties coming from
Canada, Texas and eastern states.
The president of the American
Sugar Refinery company qf Cuba will
be in attendance with a representative
of the commercial interests of Cuba.
Ex-President Taft will be at Fremont
during the demonstration. The Na
, tional Society of Automotive Engi
neers has made reservation for 150
members of their organisation. This
will include a large list of govern
ment representatives. Fremont citi
zens are awake to the situation and
are aoing everyining possmte 10 mane
it pleasant for visitors.
The county and city officials and
the Commercial club committees are
working in unison to take care of all
guests. Ample protection will be
given to the public. Efficient traffic
officers will be on duty and every pre
caution .will be taken for "safety
first," so we want the public to feel
safe in visiting the demonstration
August 6 to 10, both inclusive.

Issue 8 Wheat Warning
SEED WHEAT SITUATION.
Nebraska's 1917 wheat crop will
probably be about 10 per cent nor
mal. Breadstuffs will be extremely
scarce because of this shortage and
the increased demand abroad.
The world will need ever bushel
of wheat that can be grown. In
parts of Nebraska where seed
wheat will be available, threshing
is already under way, and much
of the wheat is being marketed. If
this wheat can be obtained for seed
there probably will be enough for
the state's own use. To do this,
immediate action is necessary.
HOW TO GET SEED.
Farmers needing seed wheat
should arrange for their seed at
once. Seed wheat can be most
cheaply and certainly obtained in
carload lots.
Arrangements may be made co
operatively or through local grain
dealers. Grain dealers will handle
seed wheat at actual cost.
If any difficulty arises in obtain
ing seed wheat, write the State
Council of Defense, Lincoln, Neb.

i
Effect of three months' prohibition
on county jail figures are startling.
During May, the first month of the
"drouth" in Nebraska, the average
number of countv jail prisoners was
106. During June the average was
ninety-seven and during July ctnly
fifty-five.
These figures aie less than one-half
those of the corresponding months
last year, When J. Barleycorn oc
cupied his throne in Douglas county
without molestation.
The number of men arrested dur
ing July neared the thousand mark,
while in June, 864 names graced the
blotter, and in May only 856.
Of the 937 men and women arrested
during July. 191, only 114 were
hooked on the charge of being drunk.
Thirteen others received fines of $10C
and costs for the illegal possession oi
intoxicating liquor while nine wert
discharged for lak of evidence, four
cases were, continued and one merited
thirty days in jail on the same
charges.
