For use in Agriculture, Contractors, Custom
Spreaders. Off the Road Truckers, Custom Com
biners, and Sportsmen to name a few of the users.
The new method for 'unsticking' the tough ones, here’s why; the
3 A" is about the same strength as Vz" chain. The 1” is about double
the strength. The I*/«” is about 3 times the strength. The IVz" is
about 5 times the strength. The stretch is 35% . . . which allows
gaining momentus and traction with the weight working for you.
The stretch factor makes moving badly stuck trucks, tractors,
combines or other stuck equipment many times easier when com
pared to chain or cable. The use of NYLON TOW ROPE often allows
moving stuck equipment with half the power and weight. The cost and
weight is a fraction of the top Vz" log chain.

Sheep indemnities up
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Federal indemnity
payments would be in
creased to a maximum of
$3OO per head for sheep
destroyed to stop the spread
of scrapie a disease of the
central nervous system
under a proposal announced
by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.
Currently, indemnities are
limited to $4O per bead for
grade animals and $9O per
bead for purebreds. Since
today’s market values
greatly exceed these rates,
the sheep industry asked
USDA’s Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) to increase the
indemnity rates.
Sheep scrapie is an in
curable disease charac
terized by a long incubation
period 18 to 42 months or
longer and progressive
deterioration of the central
nervous system. It affects
only sheep and goats, but is
similar to nervous disorders
in other animals and man.
