A vegetable truck-crop grower who lives
on the other side of town came in the
other day and asked me when he couid
get a FarmaH Cub tractor and a planter
and cultivator to go with it.
"Believe it or not," I answered, "You
can get delivery in time for your 6rst
crop." I went on to tell him that I might
be ab!e to deliver, in time, a Farmall C
or a FarmaH Super-A, whichever would
ht his farm and crop plan best.
