OUR BIG, NEW SQUARE TURN TRACTOR PLOWING ON THE KELLOGG FARMS 
Modern Methods on the Kellogg Farms 
OUR powerful tractor shown abovs and gigan- 
tic overhead irrigation system illustrated on 
the opposite page, represent two of the most 
important modern farming methods of today. 
With our intensive methods of soil preparation, 
fertilizing, spraying, cultivating and watering, 
together with the care exercised in plant selection 
and restriction, is it any wonder that Kellogg 
Pedigree plants have won a world-wide reputation 
for vigor and great productiveness? Every detail 
connected with the growing of Kellogg Pedigree 
plants is given the most careful attention. 
Our big, new tractor plows three furrows at 
one time and does the work of five men and teams, 
thus saving a great amount of labor which is a 
large item on our farms. The Square Turn Tractor 
Company had sufficient confidence in their Square 
Turn Tractor to demonstrate it thoroughly on 
our farms, and we were so highly pleased with it 
in every way, that we purchased it and do not 
hesitate to recommend it to our customers as a 
practical, common-sense tractor. We have no 
interest whatever in the manufacturers of this 
tractor, but we advise all who contemplate pur- 
chasing a tractor to write the Square Turn Tractor 
Company, Lytton Bldg., Chicago, III., for further 
information. 
Irrigation 
The Skinner watering system was installed upon 
our plant farm at an approximate cost of $26,000 so 
that we might sujjply moisture to our plants regu- 
larly throughout the entire growing season, thus 
keeping them in a continuous and vigorous growing 
condition frojn the time they are set until they are 
dug and shipped to the customer. This gives us 
strong, sturdy mother plants which in turn produce 
stocky and heavy rooted runner plants. We are 
determined to give our customers the hardiest and 
most productive plants thatcan be grown, regardless 
of the cost of producing such plants. The Kellogg 
Pedigree Plants cost a trifle more than common 
plants, but their vigor and productiveness make 
them the cheapest plants you can buy, regardless 
of price. During the digging season, the ground 
is kept moist so that the roots of the plants are not 
injured when digging. This insures our customers 
plants with the heaviest possible root system. 
The difference between plants grt)wn under our 
conditions and plants grown under ordinary con- 
ditions cannot be appreciated until they are seen 
growing side by side. 
On page 51 we show a photo-engraving of a small 
section of our irrigation system in operation.
