The oat box and the straw pile seemed to be the biggest attraction to the kids, and did they ever have fun in them.

Pictured is a Bullock creeping grip tractor 12-20. It will be running real soon. I have been working on it for several years.

This tractor was owned by my father, Aaron W. Good, and the engine was built during the winter of 1916 and was delivered in the spring of 1917 and was my father's first gasoline tractor. Previous to this, he was plowing with a 20 HP cross compound Reeves steam engine and a Reeves steam lift plow.

The Bullock tractor pulled three plows. It had no gear shift and it traveled 2? miles per hour in each direction. This tractor did the plowing on 330 acres and at times it was operated in two shifts day and night, so the crops could be gotten in on time.

We would be interested in hearing from anyone that ever owned a Bullock tractor.

Walter Male, Urexei, Missouri and his gas engines and grindstone. Ross ivlaler, Platte City, Missouri sharpening his knife on the grindstone. The two men at rear are my brothers Chas. and Verl Moss. They are talking to my wife, Sara.

At the end of the day the attendance was totaled at about 1200 people. To sum it all up I'd say it was a day of memories for the old and a day to remember for the younger. The club was real pleased with how it went and are looking forward to the 1973 show. We hope to give our next show the first part of August because of weather conditions in the Northwest area. All proceeds from the show will go toward putting on a bigger and better show next year. A two day show is planned.

ABOUT THE CLUB: The club was formed in March of 1972 and has been growing ever since. We have about 40 members now and welcome new members. We meet the 2nd Monday of each month at 8:00 P. M. Our officers include: (Pres.) Alvin Postma, 507 8th Street, Lynden, Wa. 98248, (Vice Pres.) Bill Moldenhauer, (Sec.) Dick Vellema, & (Treas.) Charles Postma.

This 30-60 Rumely, light weight, will be on display at the 1973 Pioneer Acres Plowman & Thresher's Reunion, near Calgary, Alberta.
