Scientific feeding is the order of the day, at all successful dairies and stock farms 
because it brings better results at a big saving in feed cost.

OilAlitv .Stnnrlnrrl Experts preside over every detail of manufacture. 
^ _ ' Raw materials are subjected to careful inspection and 
chemical analysis before being unloaded. Such material as does not come up to 
standard in quality, is rejected. The process of mixing is tested every hour to 
make sure that all ingredients enter, in proper proportion, into every pound of 
the finished product. 
We positively guarantee every sack of Sucrene Feed to carry 
the analysis Printed Thereon or better, and to be Uniform 
in Quality. 
Sucrene Feeds Palatable—Highly Digestible 
Pure Cane Molasses, with clean wholesome grain and grain products, make 
the strongest feeding combination known. Molasses is stronger in digestible 
carbohydrates (the fat and energy making elements) than any other feed. 
It makes the feed appetizing, aids the digestion, prevents bowel 
troubles—keeps the animal in good health and spirits. 
Our method of mixing produces a mealy feed; not sticky; will not 
sour in hot weather.

Three-Quarters of a Century of “Knowing

The product of the Parlin Orendorff Co. has 
always been noted for simplicity of construction, 
ireat strength and ease of operation. It was upon 
such a basis that the founders of this business made 
their implements, established their reputation, and 
built their factory. It is upon the same foundation 
chat the business has been carried on to this day, 
and in 1917 we celebrate our Diamond Jubilee; 75 
years of practical experience gained through con¬ 
stantly striving to provide for the exacting require¬ 
ments of three generations of American farmers. 
For an even three-quarters of a century we have 
met the demand, and today we operate the largest 
and oldest permanently established plow factory in 
the whole world. “It’s the way we build them." 
Light Draft Plows, Harrows, Planters and 
Cultivators are made in all types and sizes, 
to meet the conditions in all sections, and 
are Backed by an Unqualified Guarantee. 
We also make the most complete line of Trac¬ 
tion Engine Plows produced, and we have a special 
catalog devoted to these famous plows. 
The Little Genius 
Engine Gang Plow 
was the most popular plow shown at all points on 
the 1916 National Tractor Demonstration. 
We will send P & O Catalogs to any address. 
While P & O Implements are sold only through

New Jersey Tomato Growers Combine 
I’lie tomato growers remain firm in 
their fight for higher prices. In the hon¬ 
est belief that they have taken the right 
kind of action, necessary for their pro¬ 
tection, Burlington (’ounty, N. .7., far¬ 
mers organized a Tomato Growers’ As- 
.sociation at a meeting held in the court 
house. Mt. Holly. N. ,7., and the follow¬ 
ing officers were eb'cted : I’resident, Fred 
I.ipjiincott, Moorestown ; vice-pros., .Jesse 
A, Granmer. Burlington: secretary, Har- 
r.v Brick, Medford; treasurer, Nathaniel 
17. .Jones, Masonville. This action was 
the result of the growers’ fiiilure to get 
an agreement from the canners to pay 
$12 a ton for tomatoes, run of fii'lds, 
this year. They decided that they could 
not bring the canners to terms without 
having an organization to back the stand 
they have taken. 
lieports made during the past week 
indicate that the outlook is encouraging. 
A prominent Philadelphia commission 
merchant who takes all the tomatoes he 
can get, and keeps the market clean in 
ordinar.v times, was present at the meet¬ 
ing. and stated that he Avould contract 
for about 6(X) acres at $12 a ton, and 
another canner with a factory iit Mt. 
Holly, who had previously contracted for 
toimitoes at $10 a ton for the coming 
season, stated he would pay $12 even to 
those with whom he had contracts for 
$10. 
A representative of the Campbell Soup 
Gompany, Camden. N. ,7.. was iiresent iu 
an effort to make the farmers sign up at 
the old figure, but his attempt proved 
futile as the farmers are determined to 
receive $12 a ton or nothing. The far¬ 
mers in Burlington Count.v have too long 
been imposed upon by the big canner¬ 
ies. and now that they have united are 
going to fight this price war to a fin¬ 
ish. A, X.
