Tractors Increase Farm Yield 25% A RECENT report from a large number of Kansas farmers shows that they were able to plow an average of 2 inches deeper with tractors than with horses. Those who kept records claimed that this deeper plowing resulted in an increased yield per acre of 25%. Power — petroleum power —is revolutionizing agriculture. Henry Ford says: “In the tractor, truck, automobile, and stationary gas engine—we have facilities that make farming enjoyable, profitable and worth while. Os all modern machines the tractor is one of the greatest blessings that has been devised for mankind. Fields cultivated by tractor-drawn plows produce more than fields turned by horse-drawn ones. Tractors make deeper plowing and sub-soiling possible. This, in turn, enables the ground to renew itself instead of gradually wearing out.” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) appreciates the value of the tractor on the farm, and realizing that the use of the tractor is now in its infancy, is preparing to meet the resulting demand for gasoline; for highly specialized lubricants and other petroleum products needful to successful power-farming. When the power-farmer needs petroleum products his need is urgent and the entire community is interested in seeing that these needs are supplied promptly. One of the most vital services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is that of assuring the farmer at all times a constant, dependable supply of high quality petroleum products. This Company is able to guarantee such a supply because of its modern, constantly expanding manufacturing and distributing facilities, its efficient organization and its knowledge of markets and economic conditions. These are conditions under which great expansion, coupled with high centralization are indispensable to the performance of a service essential alike to the farmer and the general public.
