The trend of modern farming points positively toward increas
ed production at lower costs. You can no longer compete on
an equal footing, using the old-time methods, with the mod
em farmer using modern farm power machinery.
Is it profitable for two men and twenty-four head of stock to
work twelve to thirteen hours a day when one man and a
JOHN DEERE TRACTOR can do the same work in less
hours and half the expense? Is it profitable for you, with the
present high cost of feed, to keep twice the stock you need
one year, for thirty days of plowing in the Spring?
The New John Deere Tractor
has answered these questions with a decided NO. It is sup
plying a long felt want of the dry land wheat farmer by plow-
This tractor is adapted especially to this country for the fol
lowing reasons:
1, Fully enclosed, insuring long life by not having any wear
ing surfaces exposed to the dust and dirt.
2 Built sturdy and simple. A tractor easy of operation
that does not require a skilled mechanic to operate
and keep up. Heavy bearings throughout insure long
life and a minimum of attention, and oiled by a posi
tive force feed lubrication system.
We take pleasure in announcing that we have sold and de
livered during the past twenty-four months, TWENTY-FOUR
JOHN DEERE TRACTORS, and they have IN EVERY
CASE more than satisfied the purchasers. These tractors
during the past two years have done an unbelievable amount
of all kinds of farm work, under all conditions and have per-
ing, harrowing, weeding and seeding his lands at a minimum
of expense and time.
3 Constructed so that it will operate on amazingly rough
land. This is an important feature as nearly every
farm has some portions that would mean trouble to
a tractor less adapted to these conditions than is the
JOHN DEERE.
4. Powerful enough to pull three sixteen-inch plows at four
miles per hour, harrow 120 to 140 acres per day or
drill 75 to 85 acres per day.
5. Economical. The cost of fuel for plowing per acre in
Morrow county with a JOHN DEERE has run as low
as 23 cents, with an average cost of 28 cents.
formed it efficiently with a minimum of expense, and the
most important test is that they are in good condition and have
required no heavy costs of maintenance.
A reasonable down payment will place a JOHN DEERE
Tractor on your ranch with two years' terms for the balance.
It Will More Than Pay For Itself
