WHAT'S NEW
FORAGE CHOPPER
The Hesstort Corporation
has just added a new top-of
the-line model to its popular
family of Field Queen self
propelled forage harvesters.
The new machine answers a
growing demand for greater
engine capacity from big
tonnage operators.
Outwardly, the 7650
closely resembles the Field
Queen 7600. The only ex
ternal change is the use of
larger tires on the rear drive
wheels. The combination of
the new 18.4 z 26 rear
flotation tires, rear wheel
drive traction and front
wheel power steering gives
the operator easy, precise
control of the 7650. These key
features are especially
advantageous when
operating in muddy con
ditions with a trailing
wagon.
The 6V-71, 426 cu. in. 2-
cyele Detroit Diesel engine,
at 257 horse power, provides
great forage harvesting
capacity. It is one of the
biggest engines offered on
any self-propelled harvester
on the market today. A new,
large-capacity radiator is
fitted to the 7650 to meet the
cooling needs of the bigger
engine.
Costly downtime is
reduced m the 7650. A unique
componentized construction
adds years of useful life.
Major components can be
replaced more economically
than costly rebuilding. And a
36 month or 2,500 hour full
Warranty covering all
When a very
satisfactory
day-to-day
operation
is a must., .

Cows
supply
drugs too
Dairy cows do much more
than produce wholesome
milk and nutritious meat.
Some of their glands and
organs are used to make
drugs that save human lives.
Insulin for treating diabetes
is produced from cattle’s
pancreas glands. Laver bile
is used to manufacture the
drug cortisone and lung
tissue extracts are used in
the production of a sub
stance used to control
bleeding during surgery.
Overall, more than 100 life
saving, life-improving drugs
in current use can be derived
from cows.

Dagenham, England. From
1933 t0'1939, Ford of Britain
was the sole producer,
building Fordsons for sale in
the United States, the United
Kingdom, and the rest of the
world.
The car and the tractor
developed along similar
paths. From a single, all
purpose model, the Ford
tractor line expanded to a
wide variety of models with
a range of horsepower,
geared to a multiplicity of
purposes. Ease of operation
and operator comfort were
key factors.

An early step in this
direction was the Model 9N,
the revolutionary new
tractor'introduced by Ford
in 1939. Hie 9N was one of the
world’s first production
tractors with three-point
hitch and a hydraulic
system. This enabled the
farmer to raise or lower
attached implements by
hydraulic controls, in order
to till the soil at various
depths. For the first time,
the tools were attached to
the tractor.
Five new Ford tractor
models m two power classes
were introduced in 1955, and
Ford became a multiple
tractor model manufac
