In 1960, as in every year since the forma tion of our Company, , International Har vester sold more farm equipment than any other organization in the world. In 1960, IH farm equipment sales were almost 20 percent ahead of the second company, about 27 percent ahead of the third. Why? Why should farmers, the world around, make and keep one company the leader? There are many reasons. Four perhaps stand out. The first is that our machines are good. We behove they are the best. They do what they are supposed to do. They keep on doing it for years. And their prices are always competitive. Cope & Weaver Co. WILLOW STREET C. B. Hooker INTERCOURSE J. B.

' v* The second is that IH farm equipment, in America and throughout the free" world, is backed by an unequalled service organiza tion of experienced and competent dealers. You can always get service, good service, on an IH product. p: || A third reason is IH research. From the huge Farm Equipment Research and En gineering Center, near Chicago—the indus try’s largest and finest—through the many engineering laboratories of subsidiary com panies abroad, no other company year-in and-year-out devotes the manpower, the money, and the facilities to development of new farm equipment that IH does. This is part of a determination to lead; of a deep belief that how good we are is more impor tant than how big we are. $ &»s -si Finally, there is PERMANENCE. Industries change.

He listed all these as “plus factors” for 1951, but said, over optimism, drought consumer switch to other meats or bunched sales dur ing the summer could throw the business into a panic “Things look a lot more favorable than they did two months ago,” Moore said He revised his earlier esti mate of $2.00 lower prices this fall to a drop of only $1 00 from last tall The series of meetings, which drew a total of 86 farmers, was held by the agricultural extension servi ce and scheduled by M M Smith, County Agent • Hay Drying (From page 1> 150 tons per year will not warrant the expense For smaller operators, Mc- Curdy suggested mow dry ing with air.

McCurdy said most of the artifically - dried hay at the Pennsylvania State Universi ty is mowed in the aternoon and baled the following day. He recommended the use of a hay conditioner, but said there is little difference in the efficiency of a crusher or crimper. “The object is to keep all the leaves on the plant ” he said, and this means raking before the leaves are com pletely cured or m the mor ning while there is dew on the hay.
