With the Fordson they have found that they can not only do
general tillage operations faster and better but can use it for

So it is no wonder that farmers generally are fa cing an era
of better prices with every confidence that the things they
have learned in the lean years are going to lead to better
profits in the belter ones ahead of them.

C. E. Spence, Market Agt.
Some months ago a State Mar-
ket Agent bulletin gave some in-
teresting
figures
regarding
the
world’s potato raising record on
theFrederiek Rindge big ranch at
Stockton, where 982 H bushels of
potatoes, high grade stock,
were
raised on one acre.
Mr. Rindge
has 1500 acres o f potatoes and the
average of the whole
tract was
600 bushels to the acre. The crop
was valued at more than one mil
lion dollars;
he purchased
800,-
000 burlap sacks,
17 tractors, 75
head
o f work animals and
500
menwere
employed
during
the
rush work.
But now comes something fur-
ther in connection with this story.
C. R. Briggs,
county agent,
at
Corvallis, followed it up and he
learned from California
that the
.seed used by Mr.
Rindge
was
largely
from
Oregon, and the
Burbank
variety.
Some
other
seed vareities were used but they
did not produce as high as the
Oregon seed.

Market Agent be-

SUPERSTITIONS
OF YESTERYEAR?
Superstitions don’t last long,especially
w h e n it costs m o n e y to believe in them .
For exam ple, the majority o f western motor
ists have long since stopped paying tribute to
the superstition that there is something mys
teriously “ better” about “ eastern” motor oils
merely because they cost more and are made
in the East.
Zerolene is First Choice o f Western Motorists
Zerolene lubricates more motor cars in the
Pacific Coast states—high and low priced cars
alike—than any other oil m ad e. Six out o f the
•even trophies in the 1924 Yosemite Economy
Run were won by Zerolene-lubricated cars.
The “ anti-western” oil bogie simply doesn’t
hold up. Zerolene increases gasoline mileage,
reduces upkeep costs and lengthens engine life,
in high priced cars and motor trucks alike.
Why pay tribute to a superstition? Inslat on
