"STEERING WHEEL FARMING" Gives Agriculture a Brighter Look Great changes have taken place in fanning in recent years—changes that have brought new concepts of crop production and animal hus­ bandry; soil and moisture conserva­ tion ; management and marketing. Symbol of one of the major changes in farming operations is the steering wheel. It stands for power—power that has been made available through tractors and. machines to do practically every job on the farm; power that has given agriculture its greatest lift in centuries—-power that has brought opportunities for a greater partici­ pation in higher standards of living. In the promotion of “steering, wheel farming’* Massey-Harris and Ferguson have made available tractors and implements with out­ standing features to apply power in the modern way. Sound, advanced engineering, high standards in materials and manu­ facture, thorough testing, and. prompt efficient service combine to make Massey-Harris and Ferguson machines outstanding in .depend* ability, long life and economy.
