a "control (enter," IH of
ficials said Hus is an in
tegral part of the tractor in
t ontrast to the add-on cabs of
the past and has the latest in
comfort, safety, and con
venience of operation
The glass-and-stcel en
closure is mid-mounted and
located forward of the
conventional design
According to IH officials,
this feature is expected to
permit operators to work
longer hours with less
fatigue and thereby resulting
in greater productivity.
Also contributing to a
farmer’s efficiency is a set of
warning lights m the en
closure that enables the
driver to monitor such
operations as brake wear,
air pressure, end radiatpr
coolant level.
New tractors and new equipment were shown
and demonstrated by International Harvester
dealers in Hershey last week
Nitrogen produced
NEWARK, Del. - Grow
nitrogen this winter to fer
tilize next Summer’s field
com. This is the advice of
University of Delaware
Extension agronomist Dr.
William H. Mitchell. He says
that tests conducted over the
past few years at the
University’s Agricultural
Experiment Station show
that hairy vetch and crimson
clover are among the best
plants you can grow for a
nitrogen producing cover
crop. Both plants have
nitrogen-fixing bacteria

We sure wouldn’t even suggest that you
look at another tractor unless we were
convinced that the Deutz air-cooled
diesel-powered tractor leads the field in
fuel savings—up to 34% over some
water-cooled jobs Come in and let us
show you the facts about fuel economy offered on any
Deutz from the smallest to the largest With fuel costs so
high, you d better go Deutz

Tractors
which live in nodules on their
roots.
In these tests, an acre of
hairy vetch was found to
provide field com with the
equivalent of 100 pounds of
nitrogen from the most
popular fertilizer source
ammonium nitrate. Since
about 85 per cent of the
nitrogen fixed by vetch and
crimson clover is located m
the plants’ top growth, it is
important that seedmgs be
made now so that they can
make good growth before the
arrival of cold weather.
