Millions Spent to Produce (.ood j
I mplements.
liOUisvillc, Ky., Hundred* of lead- I
ing implement makers in the United J
4States spend millions annually t >
learn the needs of farmers, according
to facts recently disclosed in
this city. It was found that most
implement factories are not content
with I J. S. government data, however
valuable it is, but pursue their own
'methods of research.
Various sections of the country require
highly specialized implements,
in that the crops in these regions are
of an individual nature, requiring
special treatment and special imple- I
ment.s for planting, tillage and harvesting.
In the South particularly, where
crops are of such a peculiar type
that they require treatment of a
particular kind, implements are I?ui 1 solely
for Southern use. Because of
this fact, the various makers of faimi
implements expend vast amounts to
learn the exact needs of the Southern
agric ulturist.
For the .-akr of sinipie explanation,
let us take one well known Southern
implement manufacturer, the B. F.
Avery and Sine, of Houisvillr. This
finn ha- been making a line of plow-,
tillage implements, planter-. harvesting
machinery, it'.. f<?: "Ver 11)0
years.
William Blink, president of the
Avery Company telis us that due t" .?
surprising numl>ei ..f factors, it ;s
necessar y t" r hi- < "inpanv to k* e,.constantly
abreast of agrn ul'ira! i|

v'a * titer.- ha-1 ho. mak
ing a machine for the purpose of
planting either corn or cotton. It
was satisfactory, in a measure, but it
became apparent, after a while, that
a factor hail 'been overlooked in designing
the machine. As it was, this
dual-purpose planter was light, although
well built. Hut what was
needed wa.s a machine which was
sturdy strong enough to withstand
the punishments which cotton planting
inflicted upon it. The planting
of cotton is strenuous and required a
machine which would not soon become
'rickety' and worn."
Mr. Black then told us how the
Avery engineers began work. The
result was the design and manufacture
of their present "Twin-Drive,"
a machine with many important features.
"This is hut one example," said Mi.
Black, '1 could give you several more.
But the one big point 1 would like to
make is this: that agriculture is as
much 'Big Business' as is Wall
Street, and it requires constant effort
to find ways and means of
' properly conducting it And 1 thin;<
'it i- with pardonable pride that I
I point to the vigilance f various implement
makers in the finding of
i better. Ics.h expensive and m?>re efficient
methods of doing th - Big
Bu>-:ne>v ..f Farming."

"Free and easy"
Formers everywhere are talking
about the Avery Jack Rabbit Cultivator.
"So free and easy in its operation."
says one. "Its perfect balance
is a remarkable improvement,"
says another. "Fits all our row
crops as does no other," says a third.
It is because of the enthusiastic
approval of farmers that the Avery
Jack R abbit is always out in front ?
a lender wherever shown or used.
Its three outstanding features are:
0) Perfect balance in all positions?whether
gangs are raised or
lowered.
(2) Runs free and easy ?no sluggishness
or stubbornness to mar its
fine performance. *
(3) Equipped for cultivating all
row crops over 24 inches?is out and
going at all times and under all conditions.
Investigate the Avery Jack Rabbit
Cultivator. Test it for all the
above advantages. You'll be convinced
that it handles easier and
does better work in more kinds of
crops. Also that it is carefully constructed
of the best materials,
insuring years of trouble-free service.
Back cif the outstanding superiority
of this cultivator is a century of
implement building experience and
the world's finest implement factory.
