AVERY TRACTOR 2 L.W.1.S#™-
,.v..r-
HEN you get an Avery Tractor, you can be sure of
able to keep it at work. You will not be held
up during the rush season waiting for repair parts should
you need them. As one owner said, 'Avery Tractors
don't require much service, but when we do t»«ed it, we
can get it mighty quick."
Avery dealers keep repairs In stock to protect their customers. And
if extra service is needed, your dealer can qalcklyeet it for you from
the nearest Avery branch house or distributor. This is the kind of
service you want back of the tractor you own.
Avery Owners Can Do Their Own Service Work
Any working part of an Avery Tractor can be renewed, and installed
by the owner without the aid of expert help. For example, should an
Avery owner score a cylinder wall, he does not have to buy a complete
new cylinder. Neither does he have to take the motor out of the tractor
or ship it to the factory or a machine shop to be rebored. Instead, he
simply pulls out the patented inner wall of the cylinder and replaces
it with anew one. Think of the time and trouble this feature alone
might save you in a busy season.

must meet the new conditions by de
veloping in advance. Security must
to a degree displace speculation."
That is to say, what has been done
in the reclamation service, to provide
water before the. settler went upon
the land, must be done in draining the
sWamps, clearing and breaking up the
cutover land and irrigating the arid
regions, before the returned soldier is
invited to enter upon his home-place.
Dr. Elwood Mead, whose land set
tlement work for California has at
tracted world-wide attention, is quoted
by Secretary Lane: "Science should
have Hone hand in hand with the set
tlement of the arid and semi-arid
country, and all that science could give
would have been utilized, first, in the
creation'of the conditions of-settle
ment, and then in aiding the settler
in'difficult tasks.
"Because nothing was. done, these
heroic but uninformed souls were be
deviled by the winds, cold, drought
and insect pests. They wasted their
efforts, lost their hopes and ambitions,
and a tragic percentage were left im
poverished and embittered. The
tragic part of this history is that near
ly all this suffering and loss could
have been avoided under a carefully
thought-out plan of development."
Farm tenancy has -been increasing
in America, Secretary Lane shows. It
increased 32 per cent between' the
years 1890 and 1910. In Denmark,
Ireland, New Zealand and Australia
the plan of putting the land into the
hands of actual farmers, and giving
them title through long-term pay
ments, has been a brilliant success.
The best feature of this plan is to be
the foundation of the plan in the
United States—there is to be com
munity development and improvement
of the land. The government is to
organize vast projects-for putting the
swamp land, the cutover land or the
arid land in condition for immediate
cultivation and settlement. In order'
to find out exactly what lands can be
so developed, and how the develop
ment should proceed, Secretary Lane
asks congress for money for complete
scientific studies of the details of the
situation.
LAND TO THE MEN
WHO HELP CLEAR IT
"This plan does not contemplate
anything like charity-to. the soldier," W
says the secretary. "He is not to be
made to feel that he is a dependent.
On the contrary, he is to continue in
a sense in the service of the govern
ment. Instead of destroying our ene
mies he is to develop our-resources. SX."
"The work that is to be done, other
than the planning, should be done by
the soldier-himself. The dam or irri
gation project should be built by him,
the canals, ditches and the breaking
of the land and the building of the
houses should, under proper direction,
be his occupation. He should be al
lowed to make his own home, cared
for while he is doing it, and given an
interest in the land for which he can
pay through a long period of years,
perhaps 30 or 40 years.,
"The farms should not be turned
over as the prairies were—unbroken,
unfenced, without accommodations for
men or animals. There should be pre
pared homes, all of which can be con-.
structed by the men themselves under
a system of simple devising by winch
modern methods of finance will be ap
plied to their needs.
"As I have indicated, this is not a
mere Utopian vision. It
