The All New DION 3060 Forage Blower
OUTSTANDING FEATURES:
• THE LARGE-SIZED FEEDING HOPPER, equipped
with a rear and high protector, reduces material
spillage. The action of the 12" (30 cm) diameter
auger and the 8-blade intermediate fan provide in
credible regular and even feeding flow. Its con
struction permits a most easy approach and a non
return start/stop arm insures the operator's
safety.
• THE GIANT 59" (150 cm) DIAMETER FAN has 6
extra-strong blades which easily blow all types of
forage at incredible heights. The fan blade tips
have been especially designed to preserve their
original shape and efficiency for years of depend
able service.
• THE INTERMEDIATE FAN sucks the forage coming
from the hopper, avoids bottlenecks, speeds up
and drives material, in the same direction,
towards the mam fan. This results in less power
requirement, noiseless operation and longer life
of your forage blower.
• THE EXTRA-STRONG POWER TAKE-OFF can be
safely coupled to most tractors Shear bolts pro
vide an extra margin of safety to both the forage
blower and the tractor.
THE ADJUSTABLE ROTATING DRUM OUTLET
allows free flow of the forage which can be directed
to different angles thus avoiding loss of power
THE 3060 MECHANISM is simple and of easy
maintenance It is powered by belt drives to pro
vide positive and noiseless operation All adiust
ments are precise and quickly done.
THE MAIN FRAME is constructed with tubular
steel style to provide both great rigidity and min
imum weight Most of the frame elements are
welded so as to guarantee maximum strength at
important stress points.
• THE PROTECTORS open and close horizontally,
by actuating pressure locks therefore you get
instant access to the mechanism - without loosing
time
• A UNIQUE LEVER SYSTEM raises or lowers the
wheels for easier transportation or operation

Farm Show welcomes youths
HARRISBURG Every year,
thousands of excited youngsters
travel from all over Pennsylvania
to the Farm Show. Many bring
with them their prize animals,
crops or exhibit in hopes of going
home a grand prize winner.
Ever since the first Farm Show
in 1917 which had 40 boys com
peting in a corn and potato judging
contest, the Farm Show has been a
growing educational experience
for young people. By 1922, boys
were striving for medals and silver
loving cups in dairy cattle, swine,
corn and potato judging contests.
The Awards were given by State
Department of Instruction of
ficials.
A new era in Farm Show youth
competition came in 1926 when
Francis Murren of Hanover took
home 9266.60 for his Baby Beef
Grand Champion. The 1,066-pound
steer was sold at auction for 25
cents per pound, marking the
beginning of Farm Show Junior
Livestock Sales.
Today, many Pennsylvania
meat firms have given outstanding
support to the Junior Livestock
Market Sales.
The 4-H competitions have
grown quite a bit since their
beginnings in 1924, too. Today, 4-H
competition is in full swing with
entries in competitions for lambs,
beef, dairy cattle, entomology
exhibits, tobacco, eggs, dressed
turkeys, capons, honey, com,
ch«w>n hwking and grooming,
homeeconomics, safe tractor
driving and potato judging.
Future Farmers of America and
Future Homemakers of America
were initiated to the Farm Show in
1926, with exhibits that were
displayed during the show. FFA
members now compete in ac
tivities such as dairy cattle, swine,
small grains, potatoes, tobacco,
vegetables, apiary products, eggs
and poultry competitions.
In the beginning years, these
competitions were limited to the
boys only, but with changing at
titudes about women came more
and more women competitors in
traditional “male” categories.
The dream of every Farm Show
youth competitor is to take home
“the prize.” These youngsters
work all year with unseen
dedication just to reach the Farm
Show. Their work is rewarded in
the end whether they win or not,
through the thrill of competing
with other young people. All those
who compete leave the Farm Show
with something special to
remember the event.
Last year the Farm Show
Commission dedicated one night to
benefit our farm youth. This year,
once again. Farm Show holds a
Farm Youth Benefit Night Concert
starring Jercy Reed and Bill
Anderson, with all proceeds going
to improvement of facilities at the
complex for our farm youth.
See you at the Farm Show.
