Labor Savers,
Sultan, Wash.

In these days when progressive
farmers are hurrying to provide them
selves with labor saving powers, the
line offered by the International Har
vester Company of America should
not be overlooked. Buying one of
these engines is buying dependability,
and that is the first consideration. And
you have the highest assurance that
every other gasoline engine requisite
is included. There are quite num-
Der of styles and sizes, so that every
possible requirement is met. Another
advantage is the opportunity of deal
ing with the responsible, we'll known
local agents of this company. You
know to begin with that if anything
should not be right it will be made
right. 1t is to the dealers interest
to do this and the International Har-
vester Company Of America cannot
afford to do otherwise. Read the In
ternational advertisement elsewhere il
farm power interests you.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-03-01
A sKAGlT COUNTY PLAN.

Editor The Ranch: The Burlington
Tribune announces a novel plan for
clearing the logged-off lands of Skagit
valley. The scheme is the work of a
prominent logging company owning
several acres of valuable soil. It has
been carefully worded and submit
ted to the public. The company of
fers warranty deed for one-half of
the land any one will clear and make
ready for the pillow. If that proposition
is not acceptable, the owners of the
land will pay $40 an acre, in cash, for
every tract the workman clears and
gets ready for cultivation. In case
neither plan seems just what the home
seeker likes, any tract at $40 an acre,
payable part in cash and balance on
long time.
Agricultural land is one of the sur
est foundations of self support in this
state. There is practically no limit
to the demand for it's products. The
profits from the various branches of
agriculture are more than from most

The man who will devote his winter
months to clearing lands and securing
title to one-half the results from his
labors is surely laying the foundation
for future success. His land will new

Editor The Ranch: l am interested
in the land clearing article published
in your paper. 1 have been clearing
land for nearly six years; have cleared
good many acres and have seen the
donkey engine, the team tried and diff
ferent stump pullers. | have made up
my mind from my own experience try
ing to clear farm, improve it and
keep family in school, that the cheap
est and best way to clear land is hand
work with powder to take out stumps
and grubs and split the big logs.
believe that if there was way to get
money at low rate of interest-say
from the government if the govern
ment would pay us so much an acre
to clear our ranches, SO our families
could live, and we could work at home
until we could get income enough to
live on, then we could very soon open
up nice farms. When wages are low
work is scarce and living high and
trust has control of the powder mar
ket, SO we are up tree.
