THERE IS A RULE among agricultural engineers to the effect that if you multiply the width of the cut of your implement (in l'cet) by the working speed of your tractor (in miles per hour) you will obtain the approximate number of acres you can cover in a ten-lxour day. Using this simple formula, you can easily calculate the number of extra hours YOU are spending in the field every day with the animal or tractor power you are now using . . . as compared with the speedy 4% miles per hour working speed of the Allis Chalmers. Then multiply the number 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 fa<~m each year . . and you will have the approximate number of hours or days you can save in a year. The yearly saving will surprise you. Look at the accompanying table. >i C 3 s £ u S3 • - C * Is-. ° 8 S. cj 2 13 "-t-l 1-1 3 W 2 .

The Allis Chalmers, on the other hand, pulling two bottoms at 4% miles an hour, actually plows more acres than docs a larger, slower tractor, pulling three bottoms at three miles an hour. You can cover the samel amount of ground in less time, but you have done it with a smaller, less expensive tractor . . . one thai you can better afford to operate. Treat yourself to a tractor . . . at a price you can afford to pay . . . that will covcr more acres in less time . . . and do beltej* 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 I other profitable activities on your farm. The Allis Chalmers is the one tractor that brings all these advantages to you. You owe yourself the shorter hours which it af-1 fords . . . and the freedom from "sun-up to sundown" 'lays in the field. Allis - Chalmers FARM TRACTORi 1 District Agents : !
