IRRIGATION FROM WELLS

With the twenty-three hundred successful working plants using oui system of irrigation, which inoculates and 

 energizes the dormant forces, there is now being produced in previously non-productive districts throughout the 

 United States and in portions of Europe and Asia over eleven million dollars worth of FOOD PRODUCTS 

 ANNUALLY. That our system is not an experiment is forcibly demonstrated by the fact that much of this pro- 

 duction is from localities which were arid and barren previous to the introduction of our system.

Can You Afford to 

 Support Horses? 



THOMAS A. EDISON, the 

 wizard of inventors, says, 

 "The horse is the poorest 

 motor ever built. " When you stop to think 

 of it, the horse is about the most costly and 

 wasteful thing at work for a farmer. At 

 best his working time averages only about 

 six hours a day, eighteen hours he rests, yet 

 he eats all year round, working or idle. He 

 eats ten pounds for every hour he works. 

 One acre out of every five plowed goes to 

 feed the horse. The best horse may get 

 sick; when, besides losing his work, you have veterinary 

 bills to pay. When he dies, you have a heavy loss. 

 Since McCormick built his first binder, the tendency of 

 all farming has been away from slow man- and horse- 

 power and toward time- and money-saving machines. 

 Thus far, wherever an 



I H C Oil Tractor 



has been set to work on a farm, no machine has taken 

 the place of so many horses, or done so much 

 laborious work with so large a saving of time and 

 money. I H C tractors have revolutionized farm- 

 ing. If the owner desires, his tractor will plow 

 | nearly as much in a day of twenty- four hours as 

 a team of horses plows in a month. There is effi- 

 ciency for you! 



Whether you use it for pulling field machines, 



hauling your produce, threshing, cutting ensilage, baling 

 hay, or anything else, the I H C tractor will stand up to 

 the work. In simplicity and strength of construction, 

 ease of operation, durability, and all-around economy, 

 you cannot find the equal of I H C tractors. They are 

 made in all styles and in 6-12, 7-15, 10-20, 12-25, 15-30, 

 25-45, and 30-60-horse power. The I H C engine line 

 also includes general purpose engines, ranging from 1 

 to 50-horse power and operating on various fuels. 



It will be to your advantage to get acquainted with 

 the I H C tractor. See the local dealer, and write for 

 facts and information to the nearest branch house.
