Some Interesting results of ro tation and tillage experiments at the ate experimental substation at North Platte are given In bulletin 5 of the Nebraska agricultural ex periment station. It was found, for instance, that alternate cropping and turner tillage was less profitable the production of corn and spring grain than ordinary methods of pro- etlon. This system did. however. during some unfavorable years in crease production and thus serve as a partial insurance against total crop rauure.

They look well enough, but the metal isn't there the strong, durable Vana dium steel that poes into the Ford chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts are specially case and heat-treated, each according to its use. Some require a hard, flint-like wearing surface, others need resilency, and some need just "toughness." - Ford metallurgists have been studying those problems for sixteen years and know just how each unit should be. made to endure a maximum of wear and tear. They know that best results can be obtained only by the use of special formulas for different parts, and that honest Ford parts wear from thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer than counterfeits. We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both passenger cars and trucks. And our garages are equipped to give careful, prompt Ford service from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Drive in, it's better to be safe than sorry. Come to the Authorized Ford dealers for service. Coursey & Miller FORDSON TRACTORS AND POWER FARMING EQUIPMENT Insist on Genuine Ford Parts u i mm in .
