Solve the 
L^or Problem 
Regardless of farm labor shortage, you can get 
all of your land plowed this year. Use a 
JOHN^DEERE TWO-W!AVPLOW 
BUILT IN THE EAST FOR THE EAST 
It is the handiest, most easily operated 
plow you can buy. Let one of the small 
boys or grandfather plow with it. Either 
of them will be proud of the chance to 
do his bit. Either of them will do a 
mighty good job of plowing and lots of it. 
It is almost a self-operating plow. The 
patented Auto Foot Frame Shift, regulat¬ 
ing width of furrow in plowing on side 
hills and around curves, is controlled by 
slight pressure on the foot levers. The 
Clevis Shift and the Horse Lift are both 
automatic. 
And in every field the John Deere Two- 
Way Plow makes the maximum area of 
uniform seed beds—works close to fences, 
“plows out” nooks and corners of irregular 
fields, turns a full width furrow on hill¬ 
sides and does away with dead furrows 
and back ridges where these are not de¬ 
sired. Its all steel and malleable frame 
combines lightness and strength. 
In the variety of bottoms that can be fur¬ 
nished with it are those particularly 
adapted to the soil of your section. They 
are Syracuse bottoms, famous throughout 
the East for 50 years because of their 
wearing, scouring and seed bed making 
qualities. 
See your John Deere dealer today about 
this labor-saving, land-saving, 
money-making plow.
