"'WEARWELL TIRES Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers WHEN you get an Avery Tractor, you can be sure of being able to keep it at work. You will not be held up during the rush season waiting for rePair parts should you need them. As one owner said, ‘‘Avery Tractors don’t require much service, but when we do n.ed it, we can get it mighty quick.”® : Avery dealers keep repairs in stock to protect their customers, And ' if extra service is needed, your dealer can quickly get it for you from the nearest Avery branch house or distributor. This is the kind of service you want back of the tractor you own. Avery Owners Can Do Their Own Service Work Any working part of an Avery Tractor can be renewed, and installed by the owner without the aid of expert help. For example, should an Avery owner score a cylinder wall, he does not have to buy a complete new cylinder, Neither does he have to take the motor out of the tractor or ship it to the factory or a machine shop to be rebored. Instead, he simply pulls out the patented inner wall of the cylinder and replaces it with a new one. Think of the time and trouble this feature alone might save you in a busy season.

Dr. Elwood Mead, whose land set- tlement work for California has at- tracted world-wide attention, is quoted by Sécretary Lane: “Science should have gone hand in hand with the set- tlement of the arid and semi-arid country, and all that science could give would have been utilized, first, in the creation” of the conditions of - settle- ment, and then in aiding the settler in"difficult tasks. - 4 “Because nothing was done, these heroic but uninformed souls were be- ~deviled by the winds, cold, drought and insect pests. They wasted their efforts, lost their hopes and ambitions, and a tragic percentage were left im- poverished and embittered. The tragic part of this history is that near- ly all this suffering and loss could have been avoided under a carefully thought-out plan of development.” Farm tenancy has - been increasing in America, Secretary Lane shows. - It increased 32 per cent between’ the years 1890 and 1910. In Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia the plan of putting the land into the hands of actual farmers, and giving * them title through long-term pay- ments, has; been a brilliant success. The best feature of this plan is to be the foundation of the plan in the United States—there is to be com- munity development and improvement of the land. The government is to organize vast projects-for putting the swamp land, the cutover land or the arid land in condition for immediate cultivation and settlement. In erder to find out exactly what lands can be so developed, and how ‘the develop- ment should proceed, Secretary Lane asks congress for money for complete scientific studies of the details of the situation. : LAND TO THE MEN WHO HELP CLEAR IT “This plan does not ‘contemplate - -anything like charity to. the soldier,” says the secretary. “He ‘is not to be made to feel that he is a dependent. On the contrary, he is to continue in a sense in the service of the govern- - ment. Instead of destroying our ene- mies he is to develop our Tesources. “The work that is to be done, other than the planning, should be done by the soldier himself. 'The dam or irri- gation project should be built by him, the canals, ditches and the breaking of the land and the building of the: houses should, under proper direction, be his occupation. He should be al- lowed to make his ‘'own home; cared for while he is doing it, and given an interest ‘in the land for which he can pay. through a long period of years, perhaps 30 or 40 years.. S over as the prairies were—unbroken, unfenced, without accommodations for men or animals. There should be pre- pared homes, all of which can be con-. structed by the men themselves under a system of simple devising by which plied to their needs. . ! “As I have indicated, this is not a | mere Utopian vision.
