is what I’m looking for.
Instead of saying it has three
or four speeds forward and one
reverse, why not say it has mul-
tiple-choice forward-flight and
bounce-free backing-up?
As for colors, I understand
these new cars you see zipping
along the highway with flair-
fashioned fenders and metal-in-
action zig-zagging color schemes
are designed to give the im-
pression they’re in motion even
when they’re standing still, and
that’s exactly the kind of color
scheme I’m hunting for on a
tractor. Get the thing .out to the
middle of the field, leave it
there, and take off fishing, and
as far as your wife could tell
looking out the kitchen window
the tractor is still moving up
and down.
However, understand, I don’t
want this thing to get too far
beyond the beautiful word
stage. For example, my tractor
doesn’t have a gas gauge on it,
and I hope it never does. Run-
ning out of gas on a tractor is
a little different from running
out of gas in a car. When you
run out of gas in your car, it’s
a nuisance, but it’s different on
a tractor, at least it is when
I’m on one. All you do is turn
the switch off, get off the thing,
stretch your legs, kick the tires
affectionately, walk off to a
comfortable spot, rest and fool
around until noon, go home and
eat, and take a can of gas back
with you in the afternoon.
Yours faithfully, J. A.
THE PEACH CREEK PHILOSOPHER WANTS
Wrap-Around Seat And Futuristic
Furrow-Control On His Tractor
Indirect profits are even greater. Industry
employees receive and spend about $850 million
a year; royalty and lease payments to landowners
add up to $500 million. Most of this money passes
promptly into trade channels.
Open Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays until 8:00 P.M.
CLOSED THURSDAY & SATURDAY AFTERNOONS
The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner has been reading
about the new cars, his letter
this week indicates.
I have been reading about all
the new models of automobiles,
the 1955 numbers with such
beauty it takes coined words to
describe them, and have been
wondering why the tractor
manufacturers don’t catch on.
For example, new automo-
biles just ain’t new automobiles,
they’re motoramic or futuristic
or power-packed or fire-dom-
ed, etc. The windshields aren’t
just windshields, they’re super-
scenic, swept-back and wrapp-
ed-around. The bodies are flair-
fashioned, with flying color, zig-
zagging two-color, etc.
As I say, why don’t the trac-
tor people get on the ball?
I don’t know whether it would
make goin up
one row and
down another
any more fun,
but a farmer is
entitled to just
as many beau-
tiful words as a
city driver, and
I have been
thinking up some to describe
new tractors.
Instead of just saying this
tractor has a seat on it, why not
say it has a wrap-around seat
with cloud-like comfort-con-
trol?

... But you can’t figure profits in jmoney
alone. f
The chief profit from the productio^1 of oh
and natural gas rests in what these fuels/ do: m
the miles you cover with your car ... in fieat f/ r
your home... in the usefulness of articles ma/<|e
from petroleum hydrocarbons... in the {go '£
that moves long trains across the continent
turns the wheels of the large industrial plan”
This profit Texans share with all ^er'
icans. It is reflected in the American star 0
living, which is the world’s highest; anc ^ro”
vides a dividend of national security, b*?Se a
well developed, efficiently operated pf um
industry is one of the major
