The only reasqn other folks don't get as many bushels is Decause uiey uu i " Y " Plow and disc and culti-pack without delay. That s what makes the perfect seed bed that brings big yields. Every farmer knows that is the thing to do, but those who farm with horses can't seem to find the time. ' . . . . The difference is all dtie to one simple thing; the man who uses a Fordson Tractor and an Oliver No. 7 Plow will plow seven or eight acres while his neighbor is plowing two acres with a team. The Fordson farmed land can be plowed at just the right time. ; Y ' fprtr 200,000 Fordon Fanners Vnt Olhrer TUlata ImpUmeoU SiiisonAuto nttle, with a branch to .Portland via Walla Walla and Pendleton, and the Lincoln highway, which follows the southern route througn Denver and Salt Iike City to San Francisco, with a branch from Salt Lake City north vurt into Oregon ove.- the old Oregon sail. - .. ..'...; The folluwlng is by Malcolm Mac Kinnon, seeretary of the Grant high 'ay UHspciation, and was published in .he Sioux City (Iowa) Journal. "The Grant highway is the most di ect road from Chicago , to Yellow tons park and the wonders of Port md and Its Vicinity, tncimUlig ' the lolumbia river highway, which Is con edod to be dnv of the world's finest rives., At Portland there Is Intersoe- on with the Pacific highway,' nl- .',uuJt paved nf atrl"..all. tluf .wny ttom Jiuhern California to the Canadian ne.

"The key to the advantage of tho Irani htchway over the other north- j jrn ways of travel lies in the laying ut of the Grant highways through he length of the , great , valley .of Wyoming, which Is the only rift In he Kocky Mountain district so far as he northern states ure concerned.. Elsewhere the mountains are high and inch roads as the Lincoln hlghtvav and the Yellowstone trull, the former n southern Wyoming and tho latter in Montana, attain altitudes more han "000 feet and maintain them for ong distances, hundreds of miles at Imes, being on the top of great 'hog backs' and following the contour of anges. lint the Grant highway, vhich, which is the only ene of these oads laid out primarily with a view o the contour of the country, reaches o the very foot of the continental di Ide in the extreme western part of Wyoming without having been up 'tighrr than the altlttudc of Casper, 1280 feet, Just a mile, and Just the tame altitude as that of Denver. In 'act, the average altitude . across tVyoming is less than 5000 feet and Kiverton is about 4800 feet. The lift ivcr the Kockles,fliy a road built by 'he federal government Is short and he grades easy, and after a few hun dred miles In Wyomln and Idaho, with altitudes around COOft feet, the 'ourist is on the down grade along the Snake river and in Oreqon does not wt up hgherthan 4200 feet, this ele vation being reached In the P.lne mountains, between , La Grande and "endleton.
