NEW YORK (P Once upon a
time there was an eager beaver
who was the pride of his beavery,
His name was Alphonse Nutria.
Alphonse could gnaw down more
pine trees and create more dams
than any other three eager beavers
his age, and he was only two years
Naturally he felt pretty proud
of himself for helping the crowd
One day a political beaver came
up to him and said:
"Son, you're a dam-fine bea
ver. Don't you want to accept
the honorary vice-chairmanship
of our club, the better-Ufe-for-mo
re -beavers association."
"Well, I won't say gnaw so I'll
say yes," said Alphonse, a poor but
honest beaver. "Anything that
helps the other guys I'm or. I
had a rough groove to bite as a
kid.
"You wouldn't guess It now,
would you, looking at the muscles
in my teeth? But I'm for anything
that'll make life easier for young
beavers coming up or old beavers
going down."
So Alphonse Nutria went out
and gnawed and gnawed and
gnawed more pine trees down un
til the streams were all dammed
and the forest was full of backed
up water. This water flooded the
ground fodder on which the deer
led.
That cut down the number of
deer. And certain hunter beings
who like to kill wild things and
carry their horns home to prove
they are human heroes said:
"The beavers are building so
many dams they are reducing the
number of deer we can shoot.
Nature is therefore out of balance.
We must pass a law declaring an
open season on beavers. Then,
the more beavers we shoot, the
more deer will spring up for us
to shoot later."
And so the law was passed as
a wild life conservation measure.
After two seasons of steady
shooting the ranks of the beav
ers were pretty well reduced.
They held a council of their
elders and approached Alphonse,
still the eager beaver he had
always been.
"Mr. Nutria, said a wise old
conservative beaver, "we want
you to join a new and exclusive
club we have formed. It is called
the don't-gnaw-a-pine-down-to
day association. We offer you the
job of chairman of the board I
and the pay is free bark all your
life."
Alphonse thought It over and
then said politely, "gnaw." He
felt he had been put upon the
earth to do his beaver best and

he went right on jawing down
trees.
The weaker beavers could strip
the fallen timber of its rich edible
bark he didn't care. But the old
er beavers decided his inside
reign of plenty increased their
outside danger from human beings,
They wanted to put nature back
in balance. And so they plotted
against him, feeling they had to
compromise in order for their own
beaver children to survive.
They sent secret agents out In
a whispering campaign to turn
other beavers against him.
"We have found out that in
his youth he was a front beaver
for the better-life-for-more-beavers
association," they said.
"That outfit would destroy us
'all.'
Gradually they convinced the
other beavers that Alphonse was
a traitor whose program of pros
perity was only an invitation of
doom. And so they fell upon him
and bit him to death Alphonse,
the true beaver.
Ever since then the world's
beavers, having destroyed their
honest hero, have lived at the
mercy of their relentless and for
midable foe, prisoners now for
ever of their curiosity and char
ity of that strange two-legged
creature, man.
Some of the grayest beavers like
to say that man, the victor like
they, the vanquished, is today
caught in the same trap of inde
cision they were, and life is life,
and that is that, and so things
must remain as they are.
But the rugged young heav
ers growing up like to barken to
the dying words of Alphonse
Nutria:
"Oh, my people, put your teeth
into your faith. In this rough
world what you stand up for and
believe in will. always outweigh
anything you sit down and fail
to do." I
MORAL: You can never -whip
an honest eager beaver.

Big Atom Blow
Retaliation Swift
If Attack Comes
WASHINGTON fP) Congress'
top authorities on atomic energy
report the United States is in po
sition to smite any aggressor with
a "terrible atomic counterblow."
And the retaliation would "un
questionably ..." be swift and
sure," the Senate-House Atomic
Entrgy Committee said in its an
nual report to Congress.
The committee said the program
for developing a hydrogen bomb
a weapon scientists say would be
many times more terrible than the
atomic bomb has "gone forward."
The committee's report is care
fully edited for military security.
Thus, details were lacking on hy
drogen bomb and other atomic de
velopments. But the report stated that in the
past two years, the greatest de
velopment has been In the field of
"weapons development." That
means progress in using atomic
power in weapons other than the
bomb, such as in artillery, guided
missiles and torpedoes.
A committee member seized up
on this to predict that "atomic,
weapons offer us real promise of
winning war quickly." He was
Rep. Durham (D-NC), vice chair-
man of the committee.

As the Ferguson Dealer in this community, we will publicly match the new and far more
powerful Ferguson "30" against any other tractor. We dare to do this because the new Fer
guson "30" is bigger in power, in performance, in economy! At a "Showdown" demonstra
tion we will prove that the Ferguson "30" with Ferguson System Implements, meets MORE
of the needs of MORE of the farmers ... MORE of the time . . . than any other 1
STANDARD FACTORY EQUIPPED TRACTOR
outperforming them doing ALL of the following jobs:
Moldboard Plowing Harrowing, Spike Tooth Row Crop Cultivating Side Delivery Raking
Disc Plowing Harrowing, Spring Tooth Field Tilling Loading & Spreading
Harrowing, Tandem Disc Subsoiling Wood Lot Sawing
There you are, farmers! The stage is set for a "Show
down." We know we have the best tractor in the world
and we're ready to PROVE it to you.
We are not just claiming what the Ferguson "30" can
do. We'll let this demonstration do the talking for us.
If you are thinking of buying a new tractor, look at all
of them. Listen to what other dealers tell you their'trac-
tors can do. Ask these dealers if they are willing to prove
these claims at a "Showdown" demonstration on your
own farm. Then get in touch with us.
Match these jobs a Ferguson Tractor can do with Fer
guson System Implements against similar jobs any
other tractor claims to do . . . and you'll see we can do
those jobs better with our new Ferguson "30." And we'll
ask you to be the judge of how much better we do them.
