We are hoping for warmer, dryer weather so it can make a fast growth. Mrs. Cornwell is doctoring for rheu­ matism. Nearly everyone has more or less of this troublesome disease. The best remedy^- is warm, dry weather. All wheat farmers have after sow­ ing but a small allowance is being marketed to feed our soldier boys.

In spite of the scarcity of labor and power, this crop must be a record breaker. How can its success be assured? By making every acre produce all it can--more than ever be­ fore. And that can be done only by proper fertilizing. You have, orcan get, stable manure. You l^ave power and help enougli to spread the manure in a top dressing on every acre you plant. All you need now is a This is an easy running, light draft, wide spreading machine. It saves labor. It saves time. It saves fertilizer. It increases crop yields. With a 20th Century you can make every acre produce to its limit. Use it for top dressing. It spreads so wide that it dresses three rows of corn at once. It spreads evenly because it gives the manure a double beating, breaks it up into small pieces and spreada it out beyond the rear wheel tracks. Three sizes--small, medium and large--all light draft machines with narrow boxes. The size you buy will do just the kind of spreading your soil needs to make it produce bumper crops.
