THERE IS 1 RULE among agricultural engineers to the elfeet that if you multiply the width of the cut of your implement (in feet) by the working speed of your tractor '{in miles per hour) you will obtain the approximate number of acres you «an cover in a ten-hour day. Using this simple formula, you can easily calcfilate the number of extra hours YOU are spending in the field every lay with the animal or tractor power you are now using ... as compared witli the speedy 4% miles per houi working speed of the Allis Chalmers. Then multiply the numbei of hours saved per day by the num ber of ten-hour days you now spend performing each of the draw bar operations on your fann each year . . . and you will have the approximate number of hours ot days j r ou can save in a year. The yearly saving will surprise.' you. Look at the accompanying table. i? 6 5 ■ - - 11 O O CJ ® I £a U O —> i« !j M n G , o go 'o sh .pH »IH O S-l QJ > w S-ffi « & X ... 4 Horses and .

The Allis Chalmers, on the other hand, pulling two bottoms at 4% miles an hour, actually plows more acres than does a larger, slower tractor, pulling three bottoms at three miles an hour. You can cover the same amount of ground in less time, but you have done it with a smaller, less expensive tractor . . . one that you can better afford to operate. Treat yourself to a tractor . . . at a price you can afford to pay ... that will cover more acres , .in less time ". ... . and do belte.r work. Give yourself a tractor that will enable you to get in from the field earlier each day . . . that will cover your ground faster, without wearing you out ... a tractor that will give you spare time for leisure and for pursuing other profitable activities on your farm. The Allis Chalmers is the one tractor that brings all these advantages to you. You owe your- • self the shorter hours which it affords . . . and the freedom from "sun-up to sundown" days in the field. Allis-Chalmers District Agents : MaeLean Mote LIMITED.
