SHEAR
POWER
To chop big tonnage
The capped, curved and spiraled knives of the
yard-long cylinder of the Allis-Chalmers Forage
Harvester provide a full 12 feet of cutting edge
more than any other chopper in the business.
What’s more, those knives are easy to keep
razor sharp with a built-in sharpener. And a “stone
stopper” safety clutch keeps out objects that can
damage the knives. The positive-action feed rolls
comb and regulate crop flow to within 2 inches of
the knives.
No wonder this chopper keeps going where
others slug down! Let us show you how this extra
shear power makes tough chopping easy.

Committee Says
Self-Financing
Promotion Best
HARRISBURG The volun
tary Pennsylvania Food Market
ing Advisory Committee* recom
mended to the Bureau of Markets
of the Pennsylvania Department
of gnculture that it encourage
“self-financing of product pro
motion” to help farmers market
their own products.
Meeting in Harrisburg for an
evaluation on activities of the or
gahization which was formed sev
eral months ago to aid farmers’,
representatives learned from a
steering committee that
successful product promotion pro
grams have been and are being
conducted by voluntary contribu
tions, processors and distributors
to their own organizations.
C. W. Funk, Harrisburg, chair
man of the advisory committee,
said each individual grower group
and the processors and distribu
tors of that product will be en
couraged to finance their own pro
motions. However, he added that
the advisory committee would
work with them and coordinate
the promotion through the Bu
reau' of Markets, Also available
for cooperation are extension spe-!
ciahsts of the Pennsylvania State j
University, he added.
State Secretary of- Agriculture
Wiliam L. Henning reported to
the approximately 100 persons at
tending on activities within the
livestock industry He told of
plans for the first Pennsylvania
Livestock Exposition to be held
at the Farm Show Building, Nov
16-21, and tne Junior Dairy Show
on Sept. 19.
