Once over your corn fields with AAtrex® SOW and
liquid nitrogen lightens your springtime load. It gets
two important jobs out of the way in about half the
time they usually take.
And AAtrex keeps your corn free from competition
from almost all the annual broadleaf and grass weeds.
AAtrex and liquid nitrogen combinations are a
good idea! Ask us. We’ll give you all the information
you need to get the job done right. Call now.

New Danish Horsebean
Competes With Soybean
Denmark has been a major
importer of US. soybeans for
years It imported 384,550 met
ric tons of soybeans, 77,819
metric tons of soybean cake and
meal during 1968
Though horsebeans have been
known m Denmark for cen
turies, it is only in the past four
years that Danish agricultural
leaders have been making a de
termined effort to grow them
profitably. Previous efforts to
grow them failed because of
disease.
But, new strains show higher
yields and better disease resis
tance And, production of horse
beans has moved up from 1,000
hectares in 1967 to 20,000 m
1969.

The new Butler grain bin—with wider body sheets, a
broader corrugation and fewer parts—provides real savings
and faster, easier erection. Other high performance im
provements include a steeper roof for more grain storage
capacity; a new floor—a stronger, clear-punched floor
which installs quickly; a new step-in door with corrugated
frame, located above ground; and many more. See us today
