Even during twine wrapping, where many balers suffer additional crop loss, M&W experiences almost none. M&W’s closed bale chamber also eliminates noise and dust problems. M&W balers utilize four rows of rotating double spring tines that pick up the crop cleanly. Proper working height of the pick-up is easily pre-set with an adjustment pin. Distributed By Now is the Time (Continued from Page A 10) After cleaning out the bin, it should be sprayed with a mold in hibitor and allowed to dry. You can use calcium proprionate solution as the inhibitor, at the rate of 2 ounces per gallon of water for the spray. One of the best ways to pre vent this condensation problem is to insulate the bin. The insulation will slow down the temperature fluctuation. To Stop Fertilizing Trees and Shrubs The time is here when we should not be applying any fertilizer to rose bushes, trees and shrubs. The season’s growing period is about over and new growth should have a chance to harden before cold weather arrives. When we fertilize during the fall we encourage new growth, which will be tender, and will winter-kill in zero weather. It is best to wait until early spring to apply any plant food to these types of plants. Mulching is a good practice to help conserve moisture and control weeds, but keep the fertilizer in the bag until the 1985 season.
