BIGGER REVENUE.

LESS EXPENSE. MEANS BIGGER PROFITS. And this is exactly what happens when you employ a Fordson Tractor on your farm. No matter from what angle you look at the Fordson the performing more work at less expense achieves the desirable result mentioned and in these days of keen competition with the never - failing outcry for "more production" the Fordson is the implement that should be in evidence on the farm of every farmer who has any idea to succeed and at the same time assist the progress of this important Dominion. "To lift farm drudgery off flesh am 1 , blood and to lay it on steel and motors has been my constant ambition," says Henry Ford; and with the advent .-." the Fordson Tractor he his vertainly succeeded in Irealising his ambition. His youth on a Michigan farm convinced Henry Ford of the importance of power in the farmer's work. Thirty-five years ago he began working on this problem. Today tin. , PordsoxL Tractor is the successful product of these many years' development. Far more than half of all tractors in use are Fordson 's. Over 200,000 farmers have tried and proved that TTiOdern farming can best be dene by the Fordson. Speaking at a Fordson demonstratif'ii on his farm at Opunake. Mr E. J. Campbell said his Fordson had enabled him to dispose of six heavy horses and put ten more cowh on his fr.rin. He user! it for hauling logs, and "snigging" gorse out by the roots. It was invaluable on bush farms—it di-l away with hard slogging! It is inteiesting to note that during the Do; monstration the Fordson, driven by a boy 15 years of age, and attached to a No. 7 fourtccn-inch double furrow Oliver Plough, turned over its two sods at four miles an hour. With a heavy swamp plough Mr Campbell completed 10 acres in 121 hours at ■; fuel cost of only .°»s fid an aero. With the disc harrows, tlie Fordson did the work of six horses with ease. In order to demonstrate locally the efficiency of this wonder tractor Mr P. Reynolds, of the Whangnrei Engineering Company, will give a demonstration on the farm of Mr H. W. Ellis, Maungatapere, Tomorrow, at 1 p.m. Every farmer who is alive to his own interests should not fail to be present. If anyone interested has not (he moans of conveyance, carriage to the from the demonstration will be arranged on
