"growing things." These city-logged folk are largely waiting the oppor- tunity to put their embryonic plans in to practice. They :have been hesi- hating, top one thing, because of the hesitancy about trying to buy and care for a horse. This hesitancy is only natural when one stops to think that it re- quires the product of five acres of land to feed one horse. The know- ledge of this fact certainly is suffi- cient to "give one pause" as the say- ing is. Few of these city farmers would undertake to cultivate more than five or ten acres-and if a horse is to eat the product of 100 per cent. or even 50 per cent ot this city man's little tarm-well, the answer is only too obvious. And yet, more food must be raised. Mr. Hoover says the only way this can be done is by using power ma- chinery instead of horses. Mr. Hoover might have gone on and "shown up" the horse as a great economic failure --tor it is certain that "Old Bobbin" --is headed for the discard at a rapid rate. One factor that will hasten the trip of the equine to the bone yard or to the limbo o fforgotten things is the small baby, garden-type tractor such as the Midwest Utilitor. While there are several small type tractors on the market, it may be stat- ed that the Midwest engineeering staff has perfected more than 100 ma- terial improvements in previously ac- cepted designs, and presents a ‘de- GARDENING BY POWER By Lon R. Smith, Sales Manager Mid- west "Utilitor" Most thinking people are beginning to realize that the farms and gardens really are the backbone of the na- tion. A recent statement of Herbert Hoover was to the effect that this great nation will be importing food in a few years unless food production is speeded tip. And he follows this startling statement up by asserting that power farming is the only solu- tion to the speeding up question. With the planting and growing sea son comes the call of the soil to those who have their living to make from the earth-and in these days of notoriously high costs even the man who does not have to dig his living from the soil is now giving ser'ous thought to the proposition ot wooing a small section ot Old Mother Earth somewhere. There are undobtedly hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of men in the vicinity of Ibig cities who have at times thought they would try to get a little "truck pateh" somewhere near the city where they could put in their morning and evening hours “growing things." These city-logged Motor E , 'l: "#5 'EEtEi w C",' ', 'i5,iri.) tte) TEN IMPERIAL POLARINE IMPERIAI (Light mAliurn body) (Me Ah motorists, especially those who use their cars for business purposes, must have steady service. They soon learn that correct lubrication is vitally important to uninterrupted service and that Imperial Polarine gives adequate thorough lubrication. Imperial Polarine keeps the engine running smoothly and quietly by establishing and maintaining a perfect piston-to-cylinder seal, which holds all the power of the fuel charge behind the piston. Imperial Polarine thoroughly lubricates and cushions every rubbing surface with a wear-resisting oil film." _ When used exclusively break- downs are infrequent, depreciation is low, fuel costs reduced. Imperial Polarine is sold in one and four-gallon sealed cans, steel 12yfr. gallon kegs, steel half-barrels and barrels, by dealers everywhere. . One of the three grades described below is specially suited to your motor. Look for the Imperial Polarine Chart of Recommendations where you buy your oil and learn which grade to use. I GRADE SPECIALLY SUITED TO YOUR MOTOR pendable machine, with a virtually un stallable motor, flexible tiller control and implement hitches that are right Iboth mechanically and trom an agri- cultural standpoint. The result is that tests in all sections ot the coun- try have shown it capable ot doing all the soil operations that one horse can do and do them better and faster. At the same time the Utilitor is a port- able power plant which develops tour horse power on the pulley and the agricultural and mechanical uses for this machine are virtually unlimited. It is with such a machine that the city man may bravely go forth to tackle the soil for a goodly part of his living. It is with such a ma- chine that the owner ot a small farm or a truck garden may discard the horse that eats its head off and sub- stitute the gasoline motive power that costs approximately five cents an hour to operate and costs nothing when it is idle. It doesn't get the colic or sore shoulders-in short it solves the problem of power farming for the small farm and will do its full job on a big farm by cleaning up fence corners,' working 'under trees and doing light belt work. The power of printer's ink has created a demand from all sections of the glabe and automotive distri- butors are quick to see the commer- cial advantages ot connection with the Indianapolis company. There is still some open territory in the vari- ous states and from this section come hundreds of inquiries each week. Tillers of the soil are certain to be greatly interested in this labor saving successor to the plodding horse. The Utilitor can 'be seen at: The Robert- son Vehicle Corporation, Distrubu- tors in Western, N. Y., Associated Ser vice Building, 256 Main Street, Build- ing, Buffalo.

Time was when a farmer who could not find just what he wanted at the corner store was compelled to take what he could get, for horseflesh was slow and the distance was long to the next town; but the automobile arrived and Farmer Jones found that he could drive thirty miles in less time than he had once consumed in travelling five miles. Regardless ot distance, he "steps on her" and goes to the town that offers him most for his money. The result has been a reorganiza-c strikes an obstruction. The only way to find out the proper inflation of a tire is by using some-good standard air gauge. Constant attention to this little detail will save you a good many dollars in your tire cost. There is a popular fallacy that tires need less air in summer than they do during cold weather owing to the ex- pansion caused by the heat. _1n all seasons the pressure should be kept up to the required standard. With plenty ot air in your tistes you Will have fewer punctures.
