British Take
OUer Sector of
French Front
fBv Associated Press.l

With the British Army in France,
Feb. 2S.-Another striking illustra-
tion of the coordination between the
entente allied armies on the western
front has been given in the successful
transfer of a considerable stretch of
the front below St. Quentin from
French to British hands. From the
inception of the delicate operation no
hitch occurred. Thousands of French
troops and scores of great batteries
moved quietly and methodically out
of the line day after day to make
room for similar British units. 1t
was done as easily as if the whole
vast program had been rehearsed.

HAS BOUGHT TWO; WILL
BUY ANOTHER
Leeds, N. D.
February 20, 1918.
S. J. Taber q Co.
Fargo, NJ. D.
Dear Sir;-
Replying 20 your request
of last month, would have
written you sooner only for
the fact that | have been very
busy and could not write you
as fully as ! wanted to.
! have operated a black
smith shop in North Dakota
for twenty-five years and in
this line Of work have re-
paired many tractors and have
become quite familiar with
the construction and design
of quite . few farm tractors.
In connection with my black
smith business ! have done
considerable farming for the
past 10 years, Last year !
had 1000 acres under culti-
walton. The heavy work has
been done with tractor power
on my farm for the last IL
years. Two years ago
bought my first Allis- chaIs 1,
mers tractor and last yearp
bought my second one. In
the dry year Of 1917 pillow.
ed, packed and seeded 80
acres into flax, which |
threshsd IL bushels and 20
pounds per acre, sold Il for
$3.50 per busheI which nstted
me the sum Of s1,sso.so, this
work all being done in sIa
days.
This flax took second prize
IN the Seed Contest at the
Grain Growers convection in
January this winter. / also
got first prize for my Dufum
wheat this year, in 1915, | got
second prize for Marquis
wheat.
There never has been time
when | have farnT6d with
tractor power to take the
heavy work off from the
horses that | did not think
that il paid. Last year the
Allis- Chalmers tractor made IL
possible for me TO do all my
work In proper time despite
the cold, wet and disagreeabls
spring.
When | bought my first Al
lis Chalmers tractor il was
entirely on your recommended
ton. | had never seen one of
them but on the strength Of
your suggestion that the Al
lis chaImsrs company would
certainly make anything right
that was not right ! took a
chance and bought my first
machine. The fact that the
next tractor bought was al
80 an AIliss Chalmers speaks
for itself and ! do not mind
saying to you that III the
heads of wheat look right
this season 4 shall probably
buy another one.

CARL NoRDHoueEN.

Replying TO your inquiry as

bought from you last May,
have to say; ! believe il to
be the best tractor of it's size
that lie built. There is no
other of any size that will give
the same speed with a load as
il will do! When ! first got
it ! plowed 80 acres in 7 days
of about 9 hours or an average
of I 1-3 acres an hour, with
about 30 gallons Of gasoline
and 20 gallons Of kerosene,
which cost S22.40 for the fuel
and $500 for lubrieating oil.
paid the man who ran it
$500 per day and board, al
lowing 500 per day for board,
$21.00, a total Of $4,000 for
ploughing 80 acres. Then this
summer on the summer faliow
pulled 2 s-foot euItiVators,
but they were a little too
heavy. Next summer ! will
get q f2-Foot cultivator which
will be about right for il.
Plouehing summer falIow we
pulled a 3-furrow f2-ineh
gang with q 4-foot section of
Iron harrow. This fall the
ground was very hard
to pillow, yet we pulled the
same pillow and pIowed 6 inches
