le Work 
There is no other farm engine 
like it. Simple in construction 
and easy to operate. It is only 
one engine, yet it takes the 
place of six engines. It will give 
from to 6 H. P., yet it is so 
light that two men can carry it 
easily. Set it anywhere and 
put it to work. 
Change Power 
as Needed 
It is a 6 H. P. when you need 
6 , or lyi H. P. when you need 
only or any power in be¬ 
tween. Fuel consumption in 
proportion to power used and 
remarkably low at all times. 
Adjustment from one power to 
another is instantaneous. 
Burns Kerosene 
Operates with kerosene or gaso* 
line. Easy starting, no crank¬ 
ing. The greatest gas engine 
value on the market. And you 
can prove all of these statements 
to your own satisfaction. 
What Users Say 
Ivan L. Blake, of Hannibal, 
New York, says: “Only engine 
economical for all jobs. I run a 
28 -inch cord wood saw, a 24 - 
inch rip saw, a washer, a pump, 
and a grinder, and it sure runs 
them fine. It has perfect run¬ 
ning balance, and it sets quiet 
anywhere.” 
Clarence Rutledge, of Mani- 
toulan Island, Ontario, says: 
? ‘ Have given my Edwards four 
years’ steady work and like it 
fine. It uses very little fuel. I 
fun a 28 -inch cord wood saw, 
also a rip saw, 8-inch g: ader, 
ensilage cutter, line shaft for 
shop, churn, washer, separator 
and pump. Have had ten other 
engines and the Edwards beats 
them all.” 
Frank Foell, of Cologne, New 
Jersey, says: “It's a great pleas¬ 
ure to own an Edwards engine. 
I run a wood saw, cement mixer, 
* I set out to build a farm engim 
that would have every featuri 
the farmer wanted and none hi 
didn t want. It has now beet

Bands of satisfied users tell mi

Better Vegetable Exhibits 
at Syracuse and Rochester 
Paul W ORK 
TDERHAPS the outstanding feature of 
* the vegetable show at the Rochester 
Exposition, Labor Day week, was the 
victory of Greece Grange over its ancient 
rival, Irondequoit. These two towns 
both adjoin Rochester. The latter has 
for thiee generations grown vegetables 
so well as to rank it with the best market 
garden sections of the country. Greece 
has entered the field more recently, many 
of its growlers having learned their art 
in Irondequoit. Ever since the Rochester 
Exposition has included agricultural fea¬ 
tures, these two granges have contested 
for the first premium for the best display 
of vegetables and Irondequoit has been a 
consistent winner. The shift of ribbons j 
this year will mean much in the history 
of the competition, for both put up simple 
and complete displays in which the out¬ 
standing feature was quality. 
The management has done a good deed 
in limiting the collections as to kinds and 
varieties, thus discouraging the hodge¬ 
podge that has so often resulted from 
the attempt to show everything. A 
separate premium is offered for back¬ 
ground decoration and Irondequoit won 
this with a picture of a greenhouse 
establishment done wholly in seeds. 
Boys and Girls to the Front 
G. H. Vogt of Stanley took the $7.5 
award for the best display of products - 
from one farm while J. H. West and 
Sons won the prize for the best collection 
of vegetables. The West Sons, Wm. 
Howard and George Smallridge, all of 
Irondequoit, were heavy winners in the 
individual classes. 
County Club Leader Fuller of Monroe 
County mustered a splendid display of 
vegetables grown by his boys and girls. 
The quantity was at least four times as 
great as last year and the quality has 
now reached the point where some 
entries would take money in the main 
show. In a few years these youngsters 
will make some of the old stagers look 
to their laurels. 
New Quarters Improve Statfe Fair 
Exhibit 
The Farm Produce Department at the 
State Fair has been removed to commodi¬ 
ous quarters in the old “M. & L. A.” 
Building, taking up fully half of the 
huge space, thus testifying to the growing 
interest in their field of agriculture. For 
- the first time there was enough room to 
display the entries and ample wall spaces 
were available for the collections. The 
entries in individual classes at Syracuse 
are heavier than at Rochester and under 
the constructive judging through several 
years by Professors Sehnech and Ilar- 
denburg, the quality standards have 
made steady progress. 
Still Room for Improvement 
While the new quarters for the vege¬ 
table show' at Syracuse mark a great 
improvement, the space is not adapted to 
its special use. Refrigerated cases for 
perishables, cold storage rooms and other 
special facilities are really needed. To 
permit, further development of educa¬ 
tional features there should he a meeting 
room and a small amphitheater for judg¬ 
ing demonstrations. Thus the vegetable 
men have not relaxed in their demand for 
a new and modernlv equipped horticul 
tural building. The State Vegetable 
Growers’ Association meeting at the Fair 
appointed a committee of three, headed 
by Secretary T. H. Townsend, to carry 
forward the fight which has been on for 
several years. This committee expects 
to work with the other horticultural and 
agricultural societies in the hope that 
there can soon be adequate housing for 
what is probably the greatest vegetable 
show 7 in the country. Syracuse gardeners 
are considering the possibility of bringing 
the convention of the Vegetable Growers’ 
I Association of America to Syracuse for 
I State Fair w 7 eek as soon as the new 7 
I building can be realized.
