THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



ENGINE GANG PLOWS IN DEMAND. 



The application of power to farm work and its effect 

 on farm labor and crop production is one of the most strik- 

 ing exhibitions of modern efficiency applied to a fundamental 

 work. 



Farmers the country over are intensely alive to the situa- 

 tion and the vast business possibilities under this new method 

 of farming. The sale of engine gang plows is probably the 

 best index to the situation. The following clipping from the 

 Minneapolis Daily News is very indicative of conditions in 

 the great Northwest : 



"The Great Northern Implement Company, which is 

 handling the J. I. Case plow, made by the J. I. Case Plow 

 Works, reports an exceedingly active sale this spring in the 

 four and six bottom motive-power plows. Many larger ones 

 have been sold also. As a four bottom plow can do approx- 

 imately twenty-five percent more work than four two- 

 horse teams and outfits, small farmers are rapidly begin- 



ning to see that a motive-power plow is a saving in time 

 and expense. 



" 'The demand for gasoline-run plows is the heaviest by 

 far this year that I have ever seen with our firm,' said W. C. 

 Warren, assistant sales manager of the Great Northern 

 Implement Company, today. 'Scarcely a day passes that 

 we do not sell from two to four outfits. Motive-power 

 plows are coming to be the thing on small farms as well 

 as the large ones. The gasoline-run plow will save much 

 time and expense, and then it does not cost anything to 

 keep it when it is idle.' 



"The uniformity of depth and width of furrows cut by 

 the J. I. Case engine gang is its most striking feature. Each 

 gang is held the correct distance apart by means of a bumper 

 extending from the middle of each beam across to the next 

 one. Aided by the bumpers and lining-up chain, the rear 

 furrow wheel also helps materially in removing landslide 

 friction from all the plows. The lining-up chain is placed on 

 all J. I. Case plows more than four bottoms."

Read What These Men Say: 



A Seattle irriga tor's opinion: "As I am using kero- 

 sene, my running expenses are not worth mentioning. 

 My engine runs like an Elgin watch." 



Another in California says: "I use distillate and

 of this fuel."
