WE HAVE
UNUSUAL WEATHER
and we could have unusual drought or floods next summer. Anything can
happen these days.
Our outstanding minerals, enzymes and organic fertilizer prepare the soil
for water holding capacity like you never saw anything before. They break
up hard clay and sub-soil to hold excess ram, then like a soft wick release it
upwards in a drought. Reports are they more than double the income or
profit of vegetables in test plots and some nearby. Plus insect, blight and
fungus resistent A sick orchard revived and gave three tons Ann Arbor
cherries per acre. We have natural insecticides if you need them There is
no excuse for not going organic We now have the products to make quality
and quantity, better keeping quality and flavor

The Toro Company, which
entered the agricultural
irrigation market two years
ago with the acquisition of
the Raincat center pivot
system, has now introduced
to that market the “Toro I,”
a revolutionary and highly
versatile gear-driven
sprinkler head.
Toro irrigation engineers
have devised for the Toro I a
basic body of tough Cycolac
(ACS) which fits all standard
agricultural irrigation
systems - hand-move, solid
set, center pivot or side
wheel-roll - and may be
threaded directly to a riser
without the need of coupling.
The Delrin nozzle is also
threaded for easy in
stallation or removal.
Ten different nozzles are
available for the Toro I,
making it possible for'the
grower himself to control
water flow in the field to suit
any crop.
