IS" •428 f o. b. l>etroit $**( % Pt>wer Farihing with the Ford son •s % ~ The Pordaon Tractor is taking care of evefy power job; it is taking the drudgery ^arm work and solving the labor problem. Power farming with the Pordson duces the cost of preparing land to almost one half what it would be with horses, and saves a third to ajmlf of the farmer's time. What machinery does for the factory, the Pordson Tractor is accomplishing on the £anu--it ia increasing production at lower costs •ttd making farm life attractive. *. « ' ^ ; 'k Apply this power farming idea in your threshing. More and more farmers a*e making themselves independent of unfavoi* able conditions by*using the Pordson tractor linked up with a light thresher. By seining the right moment and being able to do the job without waiting and in quick time, crop losses are avoided and profits increased. The Pordson operate# with kerosene , When used on belt work, rontimg at ftttt power at 1,000 R. P. M., the fuel consumption does not exceed 2^4 gallons per hour. ft Will ron the electric light plant, operatey . the milking machines and stra^ tKiler--will ^ take care of every kind .of "belt work. ^ The Pordson plows 6 to 8 acres in a 10- ' hoar day, handling two plows with ease i» 5 the average soil. It requires an average " of only li to 2 gallons of kerosek^" to tie ry acre. It is the ideal year-round tractor. It will pay for its falLand winter keep in maajr ways such as road work, hauling grain to' the elevator, pumping water and moving granaries. ' GARAGE
