With o “2510" you'll not be shy of horsepower for 3- or 4-
bottom plowing. Nor will you waste power cultivating. The
variable-speed engine works just as smoothly
throttled down for light work as it does “flat out” for the
heavy work. Now you've got the idea: one tractor that’ll
work efficiently on jobs.you've been “boarding and keep
ing" several tractors to do. Try it.

that waste reduction could be
accomplished through im
proved cattle breeding and
feeding. On this basis, the
housewife would save about
15 cents per pound, while
the yearly saving in cattle
feed would be the equivalent
of 14 million tons of corn,
worth more than half a bil
lion dollars.
Similar savings on pork,
lamb and mutton would, very
conservatively, amount to an
other 5175 million per year,
the scientists in USDA’s Ag

predict.

Research Center. When the
Center’s physical plant is ready
in 1970, about 240 animal sci
entists, market quality special

supporting personnel in USDA
will be at work to eliminate
such inefficiencies in meat pro

cess fat. Added to this staff
will be scientists fiom several
cooperating institutions; they
will work or study at the Cen

scope of necessary pi cparations
conies into focus whenever spe

the need for fences. About 350
miles need to be fenced for
cattle, requiring enough barb

fiom Detroit, Mich., to Mobile,
Ala. Additional sheep fence
along 200 miles will lequue
enough wo\en wire to fence
