Farm Machines Save in Cost of Help I 1 I I I 1 I ft I I I: firY The matter of help never meant more to the farmer than in this year of nineteen sev enteen. With large'sums at stake, both in the harvest and in the seed planted, help is scarce and expensive. Farm machines cut down the coil of production. It costs less to own machinery and use it than not to own it at all. It is expensive to do without machinery when crops are as valuable as they are at present r If You Need New Machinery This Fall now is the time to order it. Prices are steadily increasing. Such is the demand that or ders are subject to delays. If you would avoid vexation and 1 1 1 mm bother and have your machine when the crop demands it order now.
