A STUDY IN CONTRAST 

 Such a Difference and Only the Fence Between 



Did you ever ride along a country road with your eyes open when 

 crops were maturing? If you have, you will remember a field of grain 

 that was way below standard and right away you prophesied that Mr. 

 Jones or Mr. Smith or Mr. Brown or whoever the farmer might be 

 that owned that particular field, was going to have some empty bins a 

 little later on that should have been heaped high. 



While you were still prophesying to yourself, you came to the next 

 field just across the fence, and immediately there was a remarkable 

 change. Prospects were great for an enormous yield and you wished 



wonaer wni me amcrcucc, anu you rememuereu mai USCK. yonuer 



the last barnyard you passed was filled with manure all kinds of it no 

 good to anybody or anything. 



While you were still meditating, thinking how much benefit might 

 have resulted from proper distribution of that manure how much 

 more the first field might have been worth you passed the next 

 barnyard and what a change. The ground scraped clean of all manure 

 and a Litchfield Spreader in the corner told where it had gone to. 



Automatically, your mind reverted back to an article you read in the 

 farm paper the day before. It went something like this: "Enough 

 manure goes to waste on SOME of the farms of the United States, 

 through imperfect distribution by hand or because of no distribution 

 at all, to pay the taxes on ALL of the farms of this same United 

 States." Moral: Put manure where it belongs in the field let 

 the Litchfield Spreader pay the taxes. Write for new catalogue, 

 just off the press.
