Ford Offers New
Equipment Line

A new line of tractor mounted
moldboard pIows, featuring rugged
truss-frame construction, excep-
tional trash Clearance, convenience
of adjus meEt, and extensive parts
intercha7g 7geability, has been DE-
veloped BY Tractor and ImpleD,ent
Division cf Ford Motor Company.
This equipment is offered locally
by Lloyd f. Truitt.
One, two and three bottom plows
with standard or replaceable shin
and-share ecoRoniy-type bottoms
ranging in size from 10 to Is inch
es and in four moldboard shapes
are offered to meet a wide range
of soil conditions and farmer pref
erences. Easy conversion of two
bottom plows to three-bottom units,
and adaptability to use with Ford
or Fordson Major Diesel tractors
is possible under the component
plan of merchandising plow frames,
bottoms and accessories.
In developing the new plows,
protection for the implement and
continued perfect alignment OF
plow bottoms were important de-
sign considerations, according to
Ford implement engineers. BY us
ing high-carbon steel truss frame
and a shear-bolt safety device for
each bottom these requirements
were met, they said.
Another consideration was to
provide a plow design which would
minimize clogging under extreme
~ trashy conditions and provide
ample furrow clearance. A beam
clearance of 24-A inches and rake
distance of % inches were develop
ed to meet these objectives.
To provide easy adjustment was
another goal achieved in these
plows. Fitch and lateral leveling
adjustments can easily be rsade
from the tractor seat Width of cut
can be adjusted readily, and with
addition of the width-of-cut adjust
ment lever accessory this adjust
ment can conveniently be made
from the tractor seat while the
tractor is moving. Simple lateral
lrepositioning of the Cross-shaf1
places the plow at the center O
draft. These adjustments are II
addition to the constant draft ant
implement position control adjust
ments for uniform plowing which
are accomplished through the op
Grafton of the Ford tractor hydrau
lie system and the three-point i'm
plement hitch.
A complete line of optional &C
cessories for high performance

is available Coulters in 16 and Is

regular weekly meeting on Tues
day, February II, with Sachem
William Powell bringing the tribe
to order and many members were
present.
Much business was brought up

friendship toward the new mem
ber, who is Fred Wisseman, Jr.

tronage there since the food is very
good His wife was very much in
terested in his joining the Red
Men and feels confident he will
make a good member.

wonderful progress painting the
Pocahontas Hall, the tribe didn't
| feel they should ask a new mem
Der to join in the work of it, but

services. Last Saturday the fol-
lowing worked very hard all day

IS THERE A WAY OUT

IS THERE A WAY OUTP
TO SAY THAT inAationary trends on the mainland do
not affect us here is to fly in the face of hard, cold facts,
Everywhere, the housewife, the wbrker, white collar and
otherwise, and indeed everyone who buys anything. can at
test to the fact that prices are way up; that the dollar does
not buy what it used to just a short while ago, and that the
pinch or squeeze is getting tighter.
BECAUSE OF H distance and the necessity to i'm
port so much of our consumer goods, the added factor of
freight charges weighs heavily upon us all. Which brings
home more wildly than ever the need for greater economic
self-Suffciency.
H ECONOMY IS in a most precariouS position be-
cause the Government is the largest single employer, and
for the total population that employment represents a very
low percentage indeed. There are no large industries, and no
small ones either. sThe farms and cattle plantations produce
little, and the exports are negligible.
WHAT, THEN is the answer to all this2
WE NEED BUT to turn 90 miles to the northwest and
find in Puerto Rico the inspiration and hard, practical appL-
cation Of what can be done when the chips are down. More
industries must be encouraged to set up operations here
individuals must have enough faith in their home to venture
forth on projects which will not only give employment and
thus raise the entire economic level, but at the same time
put money in the pockets Of those who own and run these
enterprises.
WE MUST PRODUCE more on our land. And this in
cludes making the most Of products grown locally Instead
of importing everything under the sun, a way should be
fornd - GROW more Of what we eat, and sell the surplus.
With hotels and resorts coming into their own, and with
thousands Of tourists coming our way annually, the farmer
should see that here is an outlet for his products, If he grows
the right kind.
