 has elected the following officers for 

 the ensuing year: C. E. Mclntosh,

Engineer Rea, who is in charge of 

 the Ochoco irrigation project near 

 Prineville, Crook county, has sub- 

 mitted a report to State Engineer 

 Lewis which is looked upon as favor- 

 able to the reclamation of 23,000 

 acres of land. It is proposed to issue 

 bonds for $1,000,000 in order to 

 finance it. The plans include the 

 construction of a dam 125 feet high,

 sures, according to announcement, 

 the completion of the gigantic irriga- 

 tion project near Plainyiew, which 

 has been in a state of inaction for 

 several years, as far as new develop- 

 ment is concerned. The company 

 owns 60,000 acres of land susceptible 

 to irrigation by pumping, and has 

 already put down 60 wells, installing 

 an individual pumping plant in each, 

 capable of irrigating 120 to 160 acres 

 each. Under the new organization 

 many new wells are to be put down 

 and irrigation machinery installed 

 until the entire tract is reclaimed. 

 C. J. Hubbard of Boston has been 

 elected president of the company, 

 succeeding H. I. Miller of New York, 

 resigned. 



A Plain Statement of Fact 



Mogul 8-16: $725 Cash f. o. b. Chicago 



AT the present prices of gasoline and kerosene, 

 no farmer can afford to use a gasoline 

 tractor. Gasoline averages now over 100 per cent 

 higher in price than kerosene and is likely to go higher 

 rather than lower, according to men who know the oil business. 



Again, it is neither safe nor economical to use kerosene in 

 a tractor not specially designed to operate on kerosene. Merely 

 changing the fuel mixer is not enough; the design of the whole 

 motor must be changed. 



Mogul kerosene tractors and gasoline tractors of equal power 

 sell for about the same price and use practically the same 

 amounts of fuel. On that basis a Mogul 8-16 tractor saves each 

 year, in fuel bills alone, about a third of its price. 



If you are considering the purchase of a tractor this year, 

 give these facts careful study, from every point of view, before 

 you spend your money. 



Mogul tractors are designed specially to operate on kerosene 

 and to give their users the full benefit of this advantage. There 

 are two sizes Mogul 8-16 and Mogul 12-25. Write us for the 

 story of kerosene before you buy any tractor.
