Gives Too More Money from Digger Crops
Powerful Hart-Parr tractors are making it possible
for farmers to plow deeper. And deeper plowing is in
creasing both their 'crops and profits. Tests by Agri
cultural Experts show that land plowed deeper by
tractor power raises larger crops than by more shallow
horse plowing. This economical, kerosene-burning
tractor comes in three sizes for large, small , and medium
farms. Ask us to demonstrate one of the models on
your own farm.

Gentlemen: I bought a Hart-Parr 16-30 in
the Spring of 1920, and have farmed a sertion of
land with it, doing practically all the work.
I have used it for breaking sod, plowing old
ground, discing and drilling by pulling both ma
chines together, listed corn with a two-row lister
and operated both a binder and a header during
harvest. My total repair bill for the five years is
$29.15. Thetractor is in fine shape and I expect to
run it six fir seven years longer. It is practically
trouble-proof. (Signed) C. E. DE WITT.
