I The Ideal Fruit Grader ( 



SIMPLICITY, ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY 

 ABSOLUTELY NO BRUISING 



Just passed another very successful season. We have the highest of praise for our Grader from 1 

 1 all of those who have used them, and from the present indications we will have all sold that we are 



I able to manufacture this season on account of labor being very hard to get that we can use, so we wish 1 



I to impress on all the growers that we urge them to place their orders very soon so we will have time f 



I to make delivery. | 



I There is no machinery— Nothing to get out of order or be fixed connected with the Ideal Fruit I 



I Grader. It is practically all wood. • | 



I The operation is simple, consisting of a belt for a conveyor, operated by electricity or gasoline | 

 I engine, and short elastic belts, which move each apple in the proper bin from the belt conveyor. 



I The Ideal Fruit Grader divides the crop into Extra Fancy, Fancy and C-grade, all at one time. The 1 



1 Extra Fancy being divided into seven bins on one side, the Fancy into seven bins on the other side 1 



I and the C-grade going into six bins at the end of the grader. | 



Built for four sorters, the grader is 26 feet long and 9 feet wide. Built for eight sorters, 32 feet long | 



Further detailed information, illustrated circulars and prices will be furnished upon request.

Power Farming Demonstration 



A POWER farming demonstration for 

 the Pacilic Northwest will be held 

 at Pullman, Washington, this spring 

 May 29-30-31. This demonstration is in 

 charge of the State College of Washing- 

 ton co-operating with the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, the tractor 

 and implement dealers of the North- 

 west and the Pullman Chamber of Com- 

 merce. 



The Demonstration Is Needed 

 At the present time the greatest pos- 

 sible food production is demanded. 

 The available labor is scarce. Horses 

 cannot furnish enough farm power. 

 The extensive use of labor and horse- 

 saving machinery is urgent. The farm- 

 ers of the Northwest are progressive 

 and anxious to farm all their acres to 

 the best advantage, but they cannot 

 justly be expected to purchase and use 

 new equipment before seeing it in 

 actual operation, so that they may de- 

 cide whether or not the implements 

 will operate successfully on their own 

 farms. As a matter of education and 

 information the demonstration will 

 prove of great value to the agricultural 

 interests of the Pacific Northwest. 



What the Demonstration Will Do 



It will bring together a large aggre- 

 gation of tractors, plows, tillage im- 

 plements, harvesting machinery, mod- 

 ern trucks, and modern labor-saving 

 machinery in general. 'Ibis demon- 

 stration will be more complete than 



the machinery section of a state fair, 

 and will be of much greater value 

 to the farmers, as it will show the ma- 

 chines in actual field work. Here every- 

 one can see and compare the work of a 

 large number of tractors in one field, an 

 opportunity that can be had only at 

 such a demonstration. Since both level 

 and hilly fields will be farmed it will 

 be possible to draw better conclusions 

 as to what type of tractor will be suc- 

 cessful on individual farms. 



The public will be shown the use of 

 tractors in connection with belt-driven 

 machinery such as silage cutters, 

 threshers and similar farm equipment. 

 The latest harvesting and grain-hand- 

 ling machinery will be shown and 

 demonstrated. In short, machinery 

 that will save man and horse-power 

 will be on demonstration so that all 

 who attend will see with little expendi- 

 ture of time the possibilities of doing 

 their work more efficiently with mod- 

 ern equipment, and also to quickly 

 compare the different machines for 

 doing any particular class of work. 



How the Demonstration Will Be 

 Conducted 



Over 2110 acres of land in one body 

 near Pullman is available lor the 

 tractor demonstration. This ground 

 will be plowed by the demonsrators. 

 During the forenoon the companies arc 

 at liberty to make individual demon- 

 strations in fields assigned to them. Al 



this time demonstrations of belt-oper- 

 ated machines and implements other 

 than tractors will be made. In the 

 afternoon the regular public demon- 

 stration will be held, during which all 

 the tractors will plow on assigned 

 polts in one large field. After plowing 

 part of the afternoon the plowed 

 ground will be gone over with tillage 

 implements such as harrows. No dem- 

 onstrations of other machines will be 

 permitted while the tractors are oper- 

 ating in the afternoon. 



Something of interest will be going 

 on all the time, so that it will be to 

 everyone's advantage to attend the 

 demonstration the entire time. 



General Information 



The demonstration grounds are about 

 two and one-half miles from Pullman 

 on a paved road. Automobile and 

 truck service will be maintained be- 

 tween the city and the grounds. A 

 large number of people can be accom- 

 modated as regards rooms ami meals in 

 town. As the weather is usually cxcel- 

 leni at this time of year many will 

 bring tents and camp in the grove ad- 

 jacent lo the demonstration field. A 

 lunch counter will be on the grounds, 

 so that it will not be necessary to make 

 trips to the city for meals. 



Pullman is readily accessible lo all 

 the Northwestern States, being located 

 on the O.-W. P. A N. and the Northern 

 Pacilic Railroads. Pleasant and easj 

 autombile hips can be made to the 

 demonstration from Washington, Ore- 

 gon, Idaho. Montana and Alberta. A
