GENERAL PURPOSE TRACTOR
Here’s 100 acre performance for farms as small
as 20 acres. Progressive engineering and produc­
tion techniques make such a tractor possible for
the first time. Fimetihnd, flexible, economical—
here’s a tractor for every man.
The Earthm aster is a complete tractor in all
respects with every feature demanded by modem
farming. There’s the new “Duomatic” hydraulic
control for effortless implement handling.
th e full line of matched, mounted implements
also employs built-up steel construction and at­
taches with the easy Earthm aster Speedi-Hitch.

COOPERATION
W H Y C O N S E R V A T IO N IS NECESSARY
Winter brings greater use of lights and
heating equipment , using electricity. It
brings a pick-up' in industrial produc­
tion which means still more power use.
A ll this reaches a maximum between
4:30 and 6:30 p.m. when thousands of
housewives start preparing dinner and
thousands of men and children start
using water (most of it heated elec­
trically) to clean up. The result is that
the total power available from all
present Northwest power sources can
barely cope with the demand. A serious
break down can occur unless you help.
