Thorough Soil Preparation
Is Easy the Fordson'Way
BECAUSE the Fordson has plenty of power and
is fast running, Fordson farms are known as the
best tilled farms in the community. Good plow
ing can be followed promptly by good discing be
cause the man who drives a Fordson is soon
through with one job and ready for the other.
This thorough tillage, of course, results in bigger,
crop yields.
Because of its scientific design and easy hand
ling qualities, the Roderick Lean auto
matic Engine Disc Harrow, specially de- j
signed for the F ordson, inspires its owners to pul- *
verize thoroughly both before and afterplowing.
The Roderick L^an automatic is as
necessary to economical tractor farming as the
special tractor plow. Operated from the tractor
seat, it provides easy, thorough soil preparation
with the Fordson. Strong for power require
ments, flexible for short turning, and adjustable
to meet all soil conditions. This is the proper
disc for Fordson tractors—the one disc harrow
preferred by Fordson owners.

LODGE “DISCREDITED” SAYS
REPUBLICAN PAPER OF IOWA.
Henry Cabot Lodge is the Re
publican leader of the United
Slates Senate. True', he is a loader
without a following and one who
is being rapidly discredited in his
own party.
Iowa is the banner Republican
state of the West, but is now pre
paring to send a Democratic
Senator to Washington. The Des
Moines Register is the banner Re-
pubiician paper of that state, but
like most of the great newspapers
of America, regardless of politics,

pressing opinion^ of public meas

POISON IVY
This is the time of the year
when many people, both children 1
and grown-ups are suffering the
tortues of poison ivy.
Many persons know the moment
they are poisoned by poison ivy
by the smarting stinging sentation
so remember that gasoline is a
suae cure for the ivy. which is no
more than the burn Pf any other
chemical. The poison ivy oil is
dissolved and removed entirely
by the application of gasoline, the
sooner it is applied after the
poisoning, tbe better but it is
effective when used even as late as
five hours after the poisoning and
irritation of the skin develops.
It is well worth while for any
one to keep in mind this first aid
treatment, as well as to pass it on
to each party you hear ol who are
going picaicing in the woods,
where they are likely to come in
contract with poison ivy. Ala
