OUR agriculture must now become more intensive. 

 Cultivation of the soil must be more thorough, 

 and this requires more power. Forage plants 

 must be chopped, corn shredded and shelled, water sup- 

 plied in abundance, in addition to threshing work. 

 All this calls for engine power. 



In many districts great advantage can be gained from 

 deep plowing in liberating the fertility of new soil. Disc- 

 ing and thorough harrowing prepare a good seed-bed, and 

 pulverizes the soil so as to retain moisture. For the best 

 returns it is not only important that these operations be 

 done but that they be done at exactly the right time. 



The advantage of an engine on the small 

 farm is that it can be worked long hours 

 and a large area covered just at the right 

 time. When idle it consumes no fuel and 

 requires no attention. 



The farmers in the Central Western States 

 are beginning to recognize that animal pow- 

 er is slow, and that the increased number of 

 horses required by the newer methods of 

 farming are expensive and necessitate set- 

 ting aside some of the most valuable land 

 for raising their hay and grain feed. 



Our Type "F" Corn Belt Tractor devel- 

 ops thirty horsepower in the brake and 

 fifteen in its drawbar. This tractor was de- 

 signed especially to meet general needs of 



the smaller farms, and also for use in the Northwest for discing, seeding, harvesting, hauling, and 

 similar lighter operations. It will pull four bottoms in breaking; six in plowing. From ten to four- 

 teen acres a day can be plowed and har- 

 rowed in one operation. It turns short, 

 and will work closely into the corners. It 

 has reserve power and can draw upon its 

 fly-wheel in overcoming hills and obstruc- 

 tions. 



Two boys doing the work of 4 men and 12 horses 



Type "F" has the power of 

 15 good draft horses, the endur- 

 ance of 50, and costs less than 10. 

 Any farmer working 160 acres can 

 use such an outfit with profit. 



Threshing with a Type "F" and Rumely Ideal Separator 



Two good-sized boys with one of these tractors can easily do 

 the same amount of work that twelve horses and four men will do 

 in a day. The "F" Tractor will run any size separator up to 32 

 inch. It will operate a corn husker, shelter, shredder, or any sim- 

 ilar machinery.
