Farm Equipment Makers Meet in October 



The twenty-ninth annual convention of the National Association of 

 Farm Equipment manufacturers will be held in Chicago at the Congress 

 hotel, October 18, 19, 20. Owing to the unusual conditions facing the 

 industry this year, it is anticipated that there will be a record-breaking 

 attendance. A convention committee, headed by William Black of B. F. 

 Avery & Sons, Louisville, Ky., president, has prepared a program designed 

 to prove exceedingly practical and beneficial to those seeking information 

 upon which to determine policies to follow during the ensuing year. 

 Arrangements have been made with one of the leading railroad executives 

 of the country to discuss the transportation situation from the railroad's 

 viewpoint. The shipper's side will be presented by W. 11. Stackhouse. The 

 labor situation will be reviewed by an eminent authority on that subject. 

 James R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, 

 has consented to present the farmer's view of the present situation. R. A. 

 Lathrop will speak for the National Federation of Retail Implement 

 Dealers' Association. F. R. Todd of Deere & Co. will review conditions

 phases of accounting. Guy 11. Hall will review the work of the National 

 Institute of Progressive Farming. Wm. A. Durgin, chief of the division of 

 simplified practice. Department of Commerce, has been asked to address 

 the convention on standardization, a subject in which all members of the 

 association are keenly interested at this time, when it is necessary to 

 effect every possible economy. It is possible that the general standardiza- 

 tion committee of the association will submit a progress report of Its work- 

 to the Department of Commerce, prior to the convention, giving Mr. Durgin 

 a background for at least a portion of his remarks. 



Pay Silent Tribute to Departed Members 



The Lumbermen's Club of Memphis paused for one minute at its first 

 regular semi-monthly meeting of the fall season at the Hotel Gayoso Satur- 

 day afternoon, September 30, to pay a silent standing tribute to the three 

 members of that organization who have died during the summer — C. L. 

 Wheeler of the Pritchard-Wheeler Luml)er Company, "Tom" Welsh of 

 the Welsh Lumber Company, and Harold J. Richards of the Richards' 

 Hardwood Company, whose tragic death is recorded elsewhere in 

 this Issue of the Hardwood Record. Later in the session resolutions 

 were unanimously adopted by a rising vote expressing the high esteem in 

 which these departed members were held and conveying the sympathy of 

 this organization to the families of the deceased. 



President Joe Thompson, in a brief outline of developments during 

 the suspension period, related that the industry had experienced a decided 

 change for the better in both demand and prices and that the trade had 

 witnessed the passing of both the coal and railway strikes. He did not fail, 

 however, to call attention to the fact that the industry is being throttled to 

 an unusual extent by the acute shortage of cars and that this condition is 



preventing members of this organization from enjoying the full fruits of 

 the revival of business. 



Kirkpatrick Wins Cincinnati Tournament 



The Fort Mitchell Country Club, Fort Mitchell, Ky., was the scene of 

 the third annual tournament of the Cincinnati Lumbermen's Golf Associa- 

 tion, September 26. The day was ideal and the course fine, the lunch and 

 dinner were of the best and each one of the sixty members and guests pres-

 large number of the members were on the grounds an hour before the time 

 scheduled for play practicing. Thirty-five of the forty members took 

 part in the tournament and the nine events on the program were keenly 

 contested for. In some instances the playing was little short of brilliant. 

 There were some surprises in the scores too. While not listed among the 

 prize winners special mention should be made of the showing made by 

 J. C. West. President of the Cincinnati Lumbermen's Club and Herbert 

 Bauman of the Herbert Bauman Lumber Company. Immediately after 

 the golf players started off the guests took positions in the study gallery, 

 where the finish of tue ninth and eighteenth holes could be witnessed and 

 a good view could be obtained of most of this beautiful course.
