CONSTANT CULTIVATION FOR CROP INSURANCE

The Universal Motor Cultivator 
Equipped with Extra Set of Wide Tires for 
Work in Soft Meadows or 
Muck Land 
T HE ideal tool for orchard cultivation. With one of these tools 
the boys can keep the ground stirred in the orchards, preserving 
the moisture in the ground for the tree roots and increasing the 
yield enough to pay for the machine in a short time. 
The Only Motor Cultivator 
The Universal is developed from the light, mod- 
ern automobile rather than the heavy, crushing 
traction engine. 
It is ready to do any kind of light field work and 
makes an ideal power plant for stationary jobs. 
It does not matter what kind of a farmer you 
are, nor whether your chief crop is corn, tobacco, 
cotton, fruit or small truck, cultivation is your 
problem. The big tractor with its crushing weight 
and its high cost of operation will not answer your 
problem. You plow the land once or twice a year 
but if you want crop insurance you cultivate almost 
constantly.
