less shifting to any of 10 forward and 2 reverse
speeds so you can match rugged diesel pull
power and speed exactly, instantly, to changing
field conditions. And with Fold’s new independent
PTO, you engage or disengage the PTO shaft
on-the-go, at any time. Come in and test drive a

Spray Wild
Since spray control mea
sures kill out only the green
part—showing at this time
above the ground—it will
take approximately 3 years
to clean up sprouting seed
and bulblets in the soil.
Dairy cows when turned
on pasture containing garlic
generally produce off-flavor
or garlicky milk. Each spring
much milk is returned to
farmers because of this off
flavor.
The ester form of 2-4-D,
applied at the rate of 1-V/z
lbs. actual acid per acre will
give control. This should be
mixed with 15-20 gallons
of water and applied with a
'low-pressure weed sprayer,
