Up-State Farm Notes 
(Continued from page 1141) 
fields of potato growers, report 85 dif¬ 
ferent strains of seed planted in one field 
to determine the comparative value of 
seed, disease resistance, etc., in each of 
two different tests. Seed grown in the 
county so far in these tests, and in the 
thousands of acres of field potatoes, show 
promise of making best yields. Growers 
are so pleased with Cortland potatoes 
that a big demand for seed is expected 
next year. At a special meeting of grow¬ 
ers in Cortland Counly a report of the 
national meeting of pi snt pathologists on 
Long Island was given to the pedal re¬ 
quirements of seed potatoes. Applica¬ 
tions for inspection of potato fields for 
seed were booked by this county associa¬ 
tion. and growers were assured of a pre¬ 
mium of at least 50 cents a bushel on 
certified seed. 
Fairs Snow Farm Bureau Work.— 
Cortland County Fair is bringing out the 
work of the Farm Bureau by offering 
first premiums of $10 and second pre¬ 
miums of $5 for the best test showing re¬ 
sults of using applications of acid phos¬ 
phate and lime on different crops, also for 
results iu inoculating peas, beans and Al¬ 
falfa. The same method is being used 
successfully by the Tompkins County 
Fair and others. The interest of the 
boys is also being stimulated in Cortland 
County by a series of premiums of $5 
and $3 each for the best bundles of 
Timothy, clover and mixed trays of 
grains and the best 10 stalks of corn, cut 
in the presence of a Farm Bureau com¬ 
mitteeman or his representative. The 
fairs are also offering handsome pre¬ 
miums in the boys’ stock judging con¬ 
tests. M. G. F. 
The Substantial OilPull Construction 
in a small light weight size 
Since 1910 Advance-Rumely has been building CilPull tractors. The Company war a 
pioneer in the tractor industry—OilPull tractors made h.story in helping open up the great 
Northwest and Canada. But more important—the performance of the OilPull during these 
many years has proved its staying qualities, its real fuel economy, the value of its surplus 
power and its all around usefulness. The first OilPull built is still in operation. 
Since 1915 Advance-Rumely has been experimenting and testing the 12-20 OilPull, 
the latest and smallest of this famous line of tractors. We could have introduced the 
12-20 earlier, but felt that we, rather than the public, should bear the burden of experi¬ 
mentation. Only after satisfying ourselves that in the 12-20 we had attained OilPull 
perfection in a small size did we introduce it. 
But don’t compare the 12-20 OilPull with the cheap, lightly constructed small tractors. 
The OilPull is built to meet a need—not a price. We could build the 12-20 lighter, but we 
know, and you know that durability can't be combined with cheap light construction. 
And if a tractor won’t “stand the gaff’’ nothing else about it counts for much. 
Advance-Rumely boasts 80 years’ experience in the farm implement business. It knows 
from close contact with farming conditicns the value of rugged, substantial construction in 
a tractor, and it builds OilPull tractors accordingly. The OilPull is built complete in Ad¬ 
vance-Rumely factories. 
In the small light weight 12-20 we have embodied the proved OilPull ruggedness and 
dependable construction. And by light weight ve mean Tight weight—the proper weight to 
give long lasting, year after year dependable service. 
The wise farmer buys a tractor by the year, not by the dollar. Just as the OilPull will 
plow an acre at low'er cost than any tractor built—its cost measured in years of service 
makes it the cheapest tractor obtainable. 
Like all OilPull tractors, the 12-20 isbacked*by a written guarantee to burn successfully all 
grades of kerosene under all conditions, at all loads to its full rated brake horsepower. 
And just as Advance-Rumely guarantees its OiiPull tractor as a cheap fuel burner, it in¬ 
sists upon giving the purchaser a surplus of power. The 12-20 rating is based upon only 
80 per cent of its maximum power efficiency—a 20 per cent overload capacity when you need 
it. This means further insurance of long life—a tractor that will be doing the same good 
work five years hence as in its first season. 
In the 12-20 the weight distribution is absolutely correct—no danger of turning over cr the 
front wheels raising off the ground. The 12-20 “stays put” on rolling land as well as level. 
The 12-20 is oil cooled—no evaporation and the radiator can’t freeze. The circulating 
system is always open, and oil preserves the metal parts. The OilPull oil cooling system 
keeps the motor at the right temperature at all loads—the harder the OilPull works the 
cooler it runs. A cooling fan is eliminated. 
On the 12-20 the belt pulley is on the right hand side—up within full view of the operator. 
The 12-20 can be lined up with a belt machine, backed into the belt and the belt started and 
stopped from the platform. The belt pulley is driven direct off the crankshaft—no loss 
of power. The 12-20 will pull up to four plows, depending upon size and soil conditions. 
It will operate a 22-inch thresher and handle all the other various power jobs.
