HAT mystery there is in a tiny seed! A mustard seed which
may lie dormant for years has, locked in its little hull, all
Wthose characteristics necessary to produce a plant that
will be like all the other mustard plants that have gone before—
the same kind of stalk, the same leaves, flowers, and seed, even
the same pungency and fire which make mustard seed so popular
for hot dogs and sore backs. Even the time when the mustard
plant will begin to ripen is already settled by some mysterious
quality locked up in that tiny hull.
Every farmer knows that whether corn is planted the middle
of May or the middle of July it will do its best, when the days
reach a certain length in the fall, to ripen and produce the seed
that will in turn produce its kind. But the early planting,
having the advantage of the full growing season, produces full
ears, while the late planting produces nubbins.
The same is true of other plants; tied up in the seed, born in
the plant, is that natural urge to ripen at a given time
The Farmall owner has control of the time of planting.
Even in late seasons he is able to get his acres plowed, harrowed,
and pulverized on time. If necessary, he works the tractor overtime
and the tractor doesn't care.
It is a thought worth remembering that the designers of
McCormick-Deering plows and other tillage implements for use
with tractors always have McCormick-Deering tractors in mind
and for that reason McCormick-Deering machines fit McCormick-
Deering tractors and work with them better than any other make
of machines.
Faster tractor travel, and the greater capacity of tractor
implements, doubles and triples the amount of work a man can
get done in a given time. This means not only greater speed but
greater profits due to lower production costs.
There is not room in this catalog to show the different
McCormick-Deering implements but catalogs will be gladly
supplied. If you are interested in any implement, you can either
see a McCormick-Deering dealer or mark and return 1 he card in
the back of this catalog.
