Aaen, The Place The Date Come—See It Bring Yeur Friends So many of our customers have asked to see the Rock Island Universal Plow in action}.that we have arranged to give a public plow ing exhibition with this famous plow. We urge every man and boy in this^ section of the state, who is interested in farming, to be present at the Exhibition. We want you to see with your own eyes how a teal, all-purpose plow performs. We want you to see the very latest and most practical of plow inventions. Plan now—today—to be on hand and don't let anything interfere with your plans. This is going to be one of the most interest ing sights ever witnessed.<p></p>TheRock You ought to see it. There is no other plow like it. There are plows for Tame Sod, for Heavy Clay, for Sandy Loam, for use in stubble, corn stalks and trashy land.* But the "Universal" is the only plow with which any farmer in any township in this state can properly plow up any field on his farm. Less Harrowing Don't overwork yourself, your hired help and your horses harrowing land. Get a "Universal"—the plow that not only turns over the soil but leaves that soil in such condition as to make it a simple matter to prepare your seed bed. Then you won't need to harrow so much. The time and expense saved by less harrowing in one season will often pay for a Rock Island Universal Plow. Protection Against Drought Save the rain that falls. When you plow, see that each •lice turns over smooth and flat without crimping. Then the top County Auditor. FREE Exhibition!

That"twist" does wonders. It pul verizes the soil more than any other plow bottom. And eacli slice, whether two inches or eight inches thick spreads out evenly and flat. It turns clear over and buries all trash completely. There's no spilling over into the furrow or slopping forward onto the unplowed land. Turns under tame sod without kinkinjfc— turns under any and every kind of stubble without leaving trash—turns under cornstalks just as perfectly. Does these things whether the soil be sand, clay, waxy bottom, gumbo, stone or gravel and leaves a perfect bottom-clean furrow. Its fame has been heralded from Canada's wheat fields to the cotton farms of Texas from the hilly farms of New England across the Mississippi Valley to the fruit farms of Oregon and Cali fornia. All because it has proven under the most trying tests, a work saver, a money saver and as increased crop producer. lsl»d(C.TX)IIIIVERSIL Plow Howard July 2,1912 soil will touch the subsoil and thus, in dry weather, pull the water up from below like a lamp wick pulls up kerosene. Deep plowing is often a safeguard against drought. With a Rock Island "Universal" you can plow as deep as any farmer would care to. Don't Waste Manure The U. S. Government says the manure from one horse or cow is worth $27 a year. It's certainly too valuable to WASTE. Even with a manure spreader one wastes tons of valuable ferti lizer, unless the seed bed is porous enough to take up the manure rapidly. And good plowing is die first and most important step in preparing a seed bed. Remember the Place and Date Keep the place and date of the Plowing Exhibition in mind.
