IRRIGATION is the great farm wonder of this age. The idea 

 of irrigation is not new. The ancients used it to advantage. 

 But modern progress has so developed the idea that marvel 

 upon marvel is now being worked in this country. Uncle Sam 

 is spending $50,000,000 in irrigating his vast arid wastes. 



But the greatest of all irrigation for the farmer today is I H C 

 irrigation. It will transform an unprofitable farm into a paradise 

 of waving grain and juicy, delicious fruit and abundant garden 

 truck the cattle will become sleek and plump and all about, in 

 the home and throughout the fields, the atmosphere will be bright 

 and joyous with a new prosperity. I H C irrigation will make a 

 farm that already pays pretty well, pay even better. 



You can irrigate your own farm at low cost with an inde- 1 

 pendent, never-failing system of your own. Apply the newest, 

 most modern method to your farming. 



Nature has given you the water. It may be ponds or run- 

 ning streams. Pump it into your own reservoir. Let heavy rain- 

 falls fill your reservoir and have a supply for the hard dry spell. 

 A reservoir will cost but little to build. Get an I H C gasoline I 

 engine it'll cost ^ciy little to own, and then you have your irri- 

 gating system forever for this powerful little engine doesn't 

 know what it is to wear out, is always ready for work, and will 

 pump unlimited quantities of water for you at amazingly little cost.

 cal, horizontal, stationary or portable engines on skids sawing, I 

 pumping or spraying outfits. Also gold medal gasoline traction 

 engines. Doubles efficiency of farm machines operates grinder, 

 alfalfa cutter, mill, separator, churn, pump, thresher, cider press,
