Farm Tractor 4 Success

MANY Delaware farmers are
asking about the value Of tractors

tried them, and discarded them

that in almost every case where
the tractor has proved = success,
it has been operated by a man who
was given full charge Of the ma
chine. The tractor l> = one man

much the same maner as a spirited
