A couple of weeks ago, this
column lamented the perils
of cold weather and how
there just was nothing good
to be said for sub-zero Arctic
air massds.
Well, I’ve relented. It’s

doggone long that I’ve had
more time to think about it.
In fact, believe it or not,
there are truly some merits
to this frigid, frozen
January
Remember weeds? Not for
even one second today do
you have to feel guilty
because you’re not out there
in the backyard patch hoeing
the little rascals from bet
ween the tomatoes and the
zinnias.
The fact that I ran the
lawn mower battery dead
when it stalled out and I
forgot to turn off the switch
has become irrelevant.
How many cutworms,
armyworms, leafhoppers,
potato beetles, alfalfa
weevils or squash bugs could
possibly have survived in
this deep-frozen ground 9
Curling up in a chair, after
the milking’s done, in a
warm robe, slippers and
warm afghan, does not
produce the guilt feeling that
I should be outside working
in the yard.
We can make homemade
ice cream any day we
please, since the readily
available stockpiles of ice
becomes increasingly
abundant.
All those unsightly,
ungathered piles of i*st
Fall’s leaves can’t be raked
up because they’re frozen
into solid, immovable lumps.
And finally, tell me, when
have you last seen a fly? Any
fly with a smidgeon of sense
is down on the beaches of
Miami pestering the luckies
who spend the winter there.
And the rumor is, that all
those flies not going to
Florida instead chartered a
trip to France, where they
became caught in a bitter
cold spell and were turned
into frozen French flies

as a junior economist, for
former Senator Herman
Talmadge of Georgia as a
press intern and for National
4-H Congress as a press aid.
Gill participated in both
communications and agri
cultural organizations as a
student. She served as natio
nal vice president of Agri-
System by permitting the 800
senes processing units to be
mounted on them. They still
retain interchangeability
with the older 700 series
processing units. The ability
to team up with the 818
Combine gives 6-row
capacity at an economical
price.
Also new in the Um System
line this year is a 6-row wide
com head specially designed
to be matched with the high
capacity 838 Husker. This
offers increased harvesting
capacity for seed corn
operations where planting
and growing practices
utihtze wide-spaced rows.
Avco New Idea showed a
new rake this
year, Model 406, which is a
9% foot belt drive rake. The
406 features improved
styling, greater capacity,
easier operation, longer and
easier service life. The 406 is
a left hand raking model
which can be teamed up with
the new 407 right hand
raking model and the Model
410 (also new) 3-pt. dual
hitch for double windrowing.
A new economy spreader

added performance and
reliability while retaining
the low investment cost of a
single spinner spreader.
The seamless steel 10.5
cubic foot hopper holds 690
pounds of fertilizer or 8.5
bushels of seed. The cast
iron hopper base provides
added resistance to
corrosion and abrasion.
Stainless steel is used ex

reliability of spreading
components.
The 243 manure spreader
was introduced last fall for
sales this year by Avco New
Idea dealers. The 250-bushel
model offers a choice of
single or tandem axles -
both are compact and easy
to maneuver.
The 250-bushel capacity
ranks the 243 as an in
termediate-size model in the
Avco New Idea lineup, but
it’s built just as rugged as
the largest model. Like
every New Idea manure
spreader, the all-wood box
offers special advantages
because it will not rust and
comes with a lifetime
warranty on wood.
