 moisture there is already in the soil. 



After grain is cut, the ground is exposed to the 

 direct rays of the sun. This dries the surface, draws 

 out what moisture there may be in the subsoil and 

 leaves the ground hard and dry. 



Discing puts the ground in condition for the 

 rapid absorption when rain falls or the snow melts, 

 thereby preventing washing of the soil. 



An intelligent and systematic use of the disc 

 harrow year after year will greatly increase crop 

 yields. This statement has been verified time after 

 time by the most careful experiments. 



There are great possibilities in the disc harrow 

 trade ; your advocating additional uses that will re- 

 sult in profit to the farmers is what will increase 

 your disc harrow business.
