[AT] Mammoth tractor

[Ralph Goff]

Hi Walt
The movie was called "The Old Barn Dance". Being a "horse opera" type show 
of course the tractor and the dealers were considered the bad guys trying to 
push aside the old reliable methods of horse farming. Interesting that Gene 
Autry was able to supply the farmers with horses to finish their harvest 
after the Mammoth company re-possessed the farmer's tractors when they 
couldn't make the payment.
Well I've put in a long day on the iron horse out in the muddy fields and 
need to get some sleep.

Ralph in Sask.
