realizes that it is just as essen

farmers may have had with their

of almost no consequence were
neglected unintentionally thru
lack OF knowledge on the part of

this year. Tractors must be in
the best condition to make pos
slble the increased food produc-

greatly in the increasing of crop

To this end the International
Harvester Company proposes to
hold Tractor schools to teach
Tractor owners and prospective
owners how to get the best pos.
sible service from them.
The school will be absolutely
free to all who attend and will be
of benefit TO every farmer whetb-
er he owns tractor of any make
or is just interested in increased
crop production. Instructions
will be given dealing with the
use, care and operation of Farm
tractors.
The representatives of the
Harvester Company who will
conduct the school are practical
tractor engineers and the course
is laid out on large charts illus
trated with clear diagrams and
described in simple terms. 1t
