THREE SURE WAYS
lor a FARMER to make more profit
. Increase production per acre.
2. Reduce cost of production per acre.
3. Cultivate more acres.
ONE SURE WAY
to accomplish all three
"Culerpillar" Tractors increase production per acre by plowing deeper
and cultivating more often. They reduce production costs by substituting
cheap reliable power for costlier methods. Their low upkeep cost and long
life together with economy of operation materially reduce production costs
and their ability lo work day after day with a freedom from mechanical
trouble makes possible an acreage you never dreamed of unless you arc
already familiar with "Caterpillar" performance.
A "Caterpillar" Tractor is an investment in power that will earn you a
profit for many years to come. They carry on willingly the years only
bring them more work. Multiply the drawbar horsepower by the years of
service when choosing a tractor and you will undoubtedly buy a
"Caterpillar."

orpresent3 an abandonment of 64,
000 acres or approximately six
per cent duo to winter kill and
other causes. On the acreage re
maining for harvest, tho estimated
yield based on Mfciy first condi
