The Yuba Ball Tread Tractor cuts the time and cost of getting to market. 



It takes up but little more road space than a two-horse team, yet has the 

 power of twelve or of eighteen horses — real live animals with head down and 

 shoulder straining against the collar. 



No matter what condition the roads may be in or how steep the grades may 

 be, it never stops to rest. No balking — no shying — no shirking with it. It is 

 easier to control than one horse. 



BALL TREAD TRACTOR 



Rough rutty roads will not damage the machine nor will the machine damage 

 an asphalt-paved street. Its rugged, powerful construction and the low pressure 

 per square inch on the bearing area of the treads prevent this. 



The cost of this form of hau'ing power as compared with horses is surpris- 

 ingly low. It helps solve the labor problem, too. 

 There is a booklet telling more about it.

fixing the price is passed to the firm 

 making the advances; it will prevent 

 fruit being sold in competition at lower 

 prices; it will prevent cutting of prices. 

 The marketing concerns have very 

 generally signified their willingness to 

 act in harmony. When any trans- 

 gressions occur immediate investiga- 

 tion will follow by the Executive Com- 

 mittee and a fair, unbiased report will 

 be rendered. If the marketing concern 

 in error gives a satisfactory explana- 

 tion and a definite assurance of good 

 faith for the future the same will be 



given proper consideration. If, how- 

 ever, any marketing concern refuses 

 access to the records in reference to 

 any such transactions or refuses to 

 comply with the plan of the Fruit 

 Growers' Council, such information 

 will be communicated to the growers, 

 who will l)e recpured to use their 

 power, which is a cancellation of ton- 

 nage. The successful operation of the 

 plan depends upon the loyalty of the 

 growers to the Growers' Council, the 

 Roard of Control and the Executive 

 Committee. Every delegate present be- 



lieves in the loyalty of the fruitgrow- 

 ers. It is the consensus of opinion of 

 all delegates that the fruitgrower's suc- 

 cess, his existence, his home and future 

 depend on his loyalty to this plan, its 

 Executive Committee and Board of 

 Control.

 their many specialties.
