14—Umcarter Farming, Saturday, June 7, 1975 The National Hay Association (NHA) has finalized plans for its 80th Annual Convention to be held at the Holiday Inn, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, August John Deere Balers have more teeth outside the tractor tires Heavier hay and bigger cuts mean wider windrows —so our quiet balers have extra wide pickups. Pickup on the heavy-duty 346 is 71 inches across (including side flares) with 144 teeth; 61 inches and 80 teeth on the 336. But that’s only half the story. Usable pickup width—the area that can be used without driving tractor tires over the windrow —is the other half. Pickups on John Deere Balers are offset 10 inches from the bale case. This puts the pickup out where it’s usable—not behind the tractor tires. Stop in and see for yourself. Landis Bros. Inc. Lancaster 717 393 3906 Adamstown Equipment Inc.

He combined his herbicide in a 7-21-21 liquid i made the SLF® way with POLY-N® and did two jobs in a single feed & weed application at2so lbs. per acre. His I , winning yield was 67 9 bushels. It’s true, soybeans are good ' scavengers of leftover fertilizer. But if previous applications have been reduced in recent years, there’s probably not much residual fertilizer left to scavenge See Me Now. Z. MARTIN Statistical Committee.
