well as stubble. And it will not “rear-up”
when plowing upgrade.
While the soil in different fields and the price
of kerosene in different localities vary, we can
give you an idea of what this tractor will do by
stating that in August, 1917, the University of Ne
braska found that it plows one acre in one hour
and six minutes at a fuel (kerosene) cost of 20^
cents, plowing at a depth of 6 inches. We know
of no other tractor that works so economically.
This al!-’round tractor is at your service day
and night, always ready at the exact time you
want to use it. It is sturdily built and bound to
outlive others.
We are always glad to talk tractors, and will be glad
to tell you about this and other Case tractors. Be sure
