The tank may clear the battlefields, but the farm tractors will deltver the final blow. The great world struggie has demonstrated more . than anything else has ever done that farm tools, farm implements, farm machines are absolutely essential to the preservation of human life. For three and a half years the Am- erican farm machine has blocked the progress of the powerful war machine of_autocracy. Without farm machine America could not even feed herself. Yet not only have we had plenty of food for all of us, but for over three years we have fed 57,000,000 of our allies, a number equal to 50 per cent of the total population of the United States. During those vears, according to the food administrator, we have sent to Great Britain, France, Italy and Rus- sia 834,000 000 bushels of wheat and flour, 444,000,000 pounds of beef, 2,000,- 000,000 pounds of pork and 30,000,000 pounds of butter. Farm Machines Block Autocracy. This great amount of food, made possible only. by the general use of farm machines in America has abled our allies to stop the onward march of the enemy of human liberty. And now the American tractor will help us win the victory on the battl fields themselves. Sent to F American naval transports, them will be put to work thi plowing that part of “No Man's Lan from which the Germans have been driven. In a few months fields that been scenes of bitter fighting, be growing potatoes, wheat ond foodstuffs. Half a million will ted this spring and a million next fall. @se American farm tractors will make possible the growing €00 tons of food, equal to 400 ship- loads. Thus is the American tractor fighting the U-boat. The year 1818 will be a year of speeding up on all battle fronts, i all munition factories, in all the ship yards. It must be a year of speeding up on the farms. This speeding up ‘will be possible only because we hove the most efficient, the most powerfu the most perfect of farm machinery and implements. Hopeless wonld be the task if we were forced to rely upon the crude tools of our ancestors—to plow With a crooked stick, reap with a cradle and thresh with a flail. All the land in America would not r 120,000,000 people If we did mot have farm mochinery with which to plow and cultivate and harvest. ‘When the Indians owned this country, withough the land was virgin and fertile, it could have been bought for | @ cent an acre. Such corn as was Farm Machines Will Soive World's svown had a husk around each kernel and the Indians depended for their i“ooll Problem food largely upon the ffui chase. Food Depends on Machines. Today the world depends for its food upon the plow, the disc, the har- row, the planter, the mower, the man- ure spreader, the binder, the rake, the tractor. We cannot produce food without tools—the weeds would -starve us_out. To speed up we must plow at-least an acre an hour and that means trac- tors. To get 2 good yield of corn, we must have corn planters that - will drop as many kernels as we want and drop them -irue, To insure 2 maximum of production, we cannot depend upon the _shovel and the hoe. We must have discs for cultivating the soil, spring, tooth har- rows to kill the weeds in.our alfalfa. To harvest our crops and take care of them when they need attention, we must have mdwer nders, rakers, threshing machines. There must be efficient, artillery on every farm. Every piece of artillery must be put in shape and kept -in shape for the decisive battle—to help win the victory that will be won on the farms of America, on the farms of France, on the farms of Britain by Amer . of the SEED OATS SHOULD BE TREATED mated that 5 per cent. of the oats is iost, amounting ' to 4,000 bushels, by the oat-smut, ¢ cent, amounting to 19,000! by oat rust.
