•\• ' -- . Don't you remember a year ago / how much flax was left in the fields until along about Xmas time pefore being threshed? There was quite a lot, wasn't there? And the grower was not entirely to blame, was he? No, the weather had a deal to do with it. But then, some folks got theirs in before the snow came, and don't you think more could have done so, had they been pre- pared? Why, sure! Well, now— An Snow Early is almost a certainty any year, and as flax is usually late in ripen- ing, it's the MAN who is ready to cut the DAY it ripens that has the advantage. If you have a mower, any make, or a Deering Binder, you can be THAT MAN, because we have in stock— Gaterman's Side Delivery Winrowers (for Mowers) and Deering Flax Attachments (for Binders) that are guaranteed to give satisfaction in harvesting flax.
