Does Your Representative 
Know Your Wishes? 
W E give below lists of New York 
State Assemblymen with the coun¬ 
ties which they represent, and also the 
State Senators with the number of their 
districts. May we suggest that you save 
these lists very carefully. One of the 
chief reasons why farm legislation does not 
receive the attention that it should is 
that farmers do not bring their wishes 
before their representatives in Albany 
and Washington. 
If you are interested either for or 
against the Rural School Bill, here are 
the names of the men who will soon have 
it up for action. Do they know your 
wishes in the matter? A two-cent stamp 
and a few minutes spent in writing a letter 
asking your representatives to support 
this bill may save you a good deal of 
money in reduced school taxes.

America Owes Much to Modern 
Farm Equipment c?: 
D URING the winter of 1778, when General 
Washington was in command of the first 
army of American independence, the little 
band of patriots nearly starved to death at 
Valley Forge. Only 10,000 men, and the 
colonists could hardly feed them! 
Yet the great American army of 1918 did not know the 
smallest fear of hunger. Here were four million soldiers, 
two million of them on foreign soil 3,000 miles away, and 
America could feed them and nearly all the other armies, 
too. Besides, she could man the industries which turned 
out the greatest quantity of manufactured supplies ever 
produced in a like period of time. 
Something had wrought a wonderful change in the 
power of the nation^ It had not been done by skyscrapers, 
or railroads, or electricity. It was something deeper and 
more elemental. The simple fact is that the nation had 
improved its agriculture , the basic industry of life. 
In colonial days, with the crude hand tools of farming, 
it took ninety out of every hundred of the population to 
raise but the barest of food essentials. Today farm 
machines have released two-thirds of the people for 
other industries, and the remaining third are feeding 
the world. 
Wherever modern labor-saving farm machines are in 
general use, there you will find the benefits of civilization 
—cities, industries, modern improvements, education 
and contentment. _ Take away modern farm machines 
and you have primitive life, ignorance, poverty and 
famine. 
That Is Why No Industry Stands 
Ahead of the Farm Equipment 
Industry in Service to the Nation 
"'i 
Farm machine manufacturers have always sought to 
lighten the burdens of the farmer, to shorten the time 
required for a given operation, and to increase crop 
yield. Length of service is another important factor. 
Twenty to twenty-five years of life in the hardest kind of 
work, under the widest variety of unfavorable conditions, 
is not exceptional in farm machines — it is what the 
farmer expects. 
The industry has always built for ragged strength and 
utmost simplicity, providing adjustments for varying con¬ 
ditions and supporting all with an extraordinary service 
of repairs. It _ has been ready with repairs for every 
machine and implement, no matter how old. Having 
sprung from the farm and grown up with farming the 
industry has worked in intimate relationship with the 
problems of field and farmstead. 
The crude farming tools of colonial 
days—the wooden plow, the cradle, 
the flail, the sickle, and the hoe. 
Of late years the era of mechanical power has come 
mto farming. Tractor and engine power has been linked 
with field and belt machines, adding tremendously to the 
producing capacity of men, machines and land. Farm 
machines today are conquering obstacles which appeared 
insurmountable twenty years ago, and they are at the 
same time helping our farmers support an increased 
population of thirty million more Americans. The stamina 
that is built into farm machines—coupled with the ever- 
ready service of the farm machine dealers—has kept 
agriculture abreast of the times. 
During the advance of efficient farming, it has been 
absolutely necessary that liberal service be furnished by 
men who knew the machines. Service as rendered with 
farm machine sales has a very positive, definite, cash 
value from thefarnier's point of view and should be so 
considered by him. To begin with, he pays less money, 
pound for pound, for the machines that do his work than 
he pays for any other similar manufactured article he 
buys. On top of this great advantage in favor of his farm 
equipment investment, he receives service of more use 
and value to him than he finds among all the other lines 
with which he is familiar. 
As these words are being read, farm operating equip¬ 
ment, embodying the latest improvements for conserving 
labor and time and increasing yield, is being shipped to 
dealers everywhere so as to be ready when needed. 
1 hese dealers, thousands of whom handle the McCormick- 
Deering lines, are quietly laying in a carefully selected 
variety of spare parts, totaling for the entire nation a 
value of many _ millions of dollars. Machines, repairs 
Stocks, and facilities for expert, rapid handling during the 
rush of the harvest season are being made ready many 
months in advance. This is a vital work of great mag¬ 
nitude, yet it is but a part of the everyday service the 
farmer has learned to depend upon from the industry.
