Implement weight becomes a rolling load carried on the tractor rear wheels for extra traction when needed. Automatic Traction Booster with Transport Valve is the greatest tractor engineering advancement since Allis-Chalmers added 25 percent to the work capacity of farm tractors with air tires.

Federal-State surveys made last fall point to fewer European corn borers in U* S. corn fields in 1957 than last year, but still in large enough'numbers to pose a real threat, toie North Central States: showed reduced numbers of this costly corn insect, while increas ed numbers showed up in Eastern States, It’s hard to calculate what corn borers cost the nation each year. They don’t just cut the yield of crops. They also lower the qual ity, increase production and har vesting costs, and require large I outlays for control materials and equipment. Untold man-hours are used to check their ravages. The European corn borer is an immigrant insect that has made its home in the United States for more han 40 years. It has been one of the farmers’ worst enemies since it attacks one of the most important crops. rarattriSiiiriiiiKiiiiiaiiiii SEE THIS NEW ALUS- CHALMERS ENGINEERING IN ACTION used 39.3 billion' board feet of lumber last year enough to build a 30-foot boardwalk from the earth to the moon should-space travel become practical for pedestrians.
