Buy an all-purpose Oliver and you’ll have full angle cutting, thorough shredding of trash, accurate depth control in any soil. You’ll cross water- _______ ways, travel to and from fields easier. You’ll get prelubricated, sealed-for life disc and wheel bearings. Built | i in four sizes—9j 4to 13 feet. J Chas. J. McComsey & Sons Hickory Hill, Pa. N. G. Hershey & Son Monheun, R. D. I After Frost If you’re short of hay and want to make another cut from your alfalfa, wait until we have had a killing frost. After frost you can harvest by cutting or by pasturing alfalfa; either way you stretch the hay supply. The reason for waiting un til after frost is to keep the plant from using too much of its food reserves in regrowth afterwards. After frost there will be very little growth and the food stores will help the plants stand the winter and help rapid growth in the spring. Older stands can stand late harvesting better than new seed mgs so it is a good idea to harvest them first. All-Purpose where... Perfectly An ( ♦ N • *J»» */» * ♦ •• ♦ ** * * • . « G. E.
