Show OUTPUT OF TRACTORS FAR SHORT OF DEMAND i pon the authority of one of the leading manufacturers of engine plows the portable output of standard stand-ard tractors of all kinds and sizes for 1917 will total vooo. Despite the seriousness of the material situation, sit-uation, this output is considerably in excess of the production last year and testifies both to the necessity neces-sity and demand for tractors. The significant fact about this is that the necessity is becoming more emphatic, em-phatic, while the supplv of standard stand-ard type tractors is woefully inadequate inade-quate to meet the demand. The Sm i t h Form a-Tractor, which will be produced by the thousands during the next twelve months, will meet this emergency. Demonstrations which have been held now in nearly everv state of the union establish the fact that the Smith I'orm aTractor will meet and surmount successfully and satisfactorily sat-isfactorily all conditions anywhere in tillage or harvesting operations which four or five horses are called upon to encounter. Also it is demonstrating dem-onstrating its practicability in road work and hauling. In short, the Smith Form a-Tractor has met every ev-ery test and now is finding its way onto the farms wherever it has been demonstrated. The manufacturers of the Smith I'orm-a-Tractor are abundantly supplied with materials to meet the maximum productive capacity of present factory facilities for a long time to come. Delivery of Smith I'orm-a-Tractors can be made at once and farmers who have been wondering what they might do about power for fall plowing and other autumn work can procure a tractor attachment at a small expense ex-pense which will give them actually the lowest cost ever introduced to the farm. The Smith Form-a-Tractor is apparently tbe solution of the present pres-ent power problem. It has been thoroughly tried out under such a variety of conditions that the man-'ufacturers man-'ufacturers offer it with the utmost confidence.
