Title: Gray Tractor Demonstration
Description: Color illustration of two men with Gray tractors in a corn field. The caption reads, "This photo of Gray Tractors in a corn field shows the remarkable rolling value of the Wide Drive Drum and front wheels. Corn stalks as high as the tractors are being crushed ahead of the plows and are then covered by the furrows, leaving no stalks protruding to act as wicks in drawing the moisture up from the soil. In this manner the vegetation serves best as fertilizer. No weed hooks or chains are necessary."
