THIS ONE SHAKES
Van Dale 562 Shaker Feeder
Versatility.
That’s the “562.” It’s a feeder
and bunk system all in one. It
shakes a uniform feed mixture
down the trough, provides its own
feed bunk and has guard rails as
standard equipment.
The “562” is versatile in oper
ation too. A variable speed drive,
powered through a rugged 3 hp
motor, allows you to feed fast or
slow. The stainless steel trough
is self-cleaning and enables you
to build a feed bunk from 22 to
102 feet in length. Extends to
any length by using a drive unit
every 102 feet.
And the unique shaking con
cept means you can provide an
even ration mixture for any type
of feed—even baled hay.
Dollar for dollar you won’t find
a more economical bunk-feeder
combination. And, since there
are no augers, chains or belts
you'll find maintenance expenses
are close to nothing.
That's the ‘*562”. A little
money. A lot of versatile bunk.

Chain Feeder and Conveyor
Workhorse.
That's the Van Dale 1400
Feeder System. It delivers up to
40 tons an hour of hard-to-feed
materials. And keeps them uni
formly mixed the entire length
of the bunk.
The "1400” system is designed
especially for large operations.
The entire unit can be suspended
or floor mounted with speed and
low installation costs through Van
Dale's exclusive “snap-together”
construction.
All galvanized metal construc
tion means less upkeep and
maintenance. The motor and
drive unit remain stationary and
fully shielded for maximum safety
and minimum repairs.
Compare any large capacity
feeder system with Van Dale.
You'll choose the workhorse

and nutritious. Ideal for baking,
it can also be prepared in other
appealing ways, both for holiday
menus and throughout the year.
Heading up the sweet potato
research program are Dr. Leland
E. Scott, professor of horticulture
in the College of Agriculture at
the College Park campus, and
Dr. John C. Bouwkamp, assistant
professor.
They noted in a recent in
terview that the state’s sweet
potato industry has declined
somewhat in thfc last decade; but
Maryland still leads the nation in
sweet potato yield per acre.
Development of a promising
new variety like Redmar,
together with building of storage
and handling facilities and the
advent of mechanical harvesting
promise an upsurge in the state’s
sweet potato industry in the next
few years, the Maryland
research men predicted.
Ideal soil and climatic con
ditions for sweet potatoes on the
Eastern Shore comprise the
constant factor which put it all
together.

Van Dale Mammoth 14
Multi-feeder
Efficiency.
That’s the Van Dale Ml 4. It
can make your diversified live
stock operation a single system.
Because the Ml 4 can feed up to
four different lots at one feeding.
And, each lot can receive its own
special ration.
The Ml 4 has a massive 14'
trough and is fed by a bearing
suspended 12' auger. It can pro
vide you with up to 200 feet of
feeding and will dump rations on
either the left or right hand side.
Or it can carry feed all the way to
the end of the trough before
dumping.
For mixing concentrated addi
tives, the Ml 4 auger action is
unequaled. It provides consist
ently uniform rations all alongthe
trough.
Selective feeding of different
feed lots. High capacity feed line.
Uniform feed additive mixing.
That's the Van Dale Ml 4.
