HERE’S WHAT A. LANDIS STAUFFER,
PARADISE R.D., A CUSTOM OPERATOR,
SAYS:
I’ve cut hundreds of acres with my A-C
Gleaner self-propelled combine, and it’s the
easiest thing to operate I’ve ever owned. I can
run all day and I’m not near as tired as when I
operated other machines This Gleaner “A”
has big capacity and plenty of power. I didn’t
experience the usual choking or plugging in
heavy and down conditions. This means a fast,
efficient job, which results in increased savings
and lower operating costs.

will be scheduled. That evening
will see the annual banquet and
presentation of awards.
“Visual presentations” is the
new label affixed to what was
formerly designated as “demon
strations”. The new title is more
in keeping, say NEPPCO officials,
with the wider latitude now per
mitted in the selection an presen
tation of material.
ANOTHER FEATURE of the
youth program in Harrisburg will
be the Northeastern Regional 4-H
Poultry Judging Contest which in
the past has been held in New
England in January.
The poultry youngsters for the
first time will have their own spe
cial educational program. Sched
uled for Tuesday morning, it will
be * listed as “Youth Wants to
Know”, with'top industry speak
ers scheduled for the rostrum
Also planned for Tuesday is an
exciting new “exhibit quiz” where
the young visitors will win awards
for their familiarity with exposi
tion displays.
