Plow Deeper and Harrow Oftener 

 You Will Get Bigger Returns 



Bigger returns mean more bushels; more bushels, more money; more 

 money, more of the pleasures of life so make your farming more intensive. 



Deeper plowing loosens the fer- 

 tility of lower soil strata, exposes 

 a larger mass of soil to the air, 

 improves the surface drainage, 

 builds a deeper storage basin for 

 water, gives the roots a better 

 chance to grow and thereby makes 

 healthier, stronger and better 

 plants. 



By pulverizing the soil more 

 thoroughly and harrowing oftener 

 a great deal more moisture can be 

 locked up in the soil and the crops insured against drought. 



The Better the Agriculture 

 The More Power Required 



The negro in the South has only the power of the mule, while the Iowa farmer has 

 the power of three and one-half horses to aid him. But a more efficient, stronger and 

 quicker power than horses is required nowadays to increase yields. Deeper plowing, 

 more frequent and thorough harrowing can be done better, easier and with less ex- 

 pense with a tractor than with horses. 



has the tireless strength of from 

 15 to 50 horses (according to the 

 size of tractor) which can today be 

 added to the up-to-date farmer's 

 individual power. Every small 

 farm needs a Tractor. The o^j&t 

 Type "F", 15 Tractive, 30 Brake, which plows, discs, pulverizes, seeds, harrows, 

 threshes, and hauls the grain to market fills the hundred-acre farmer's wants. Let 

 us tell you how much time, worry, expense and trouble it will save you.
