    repower your
equipment
Evergreen Engines
Evergreen Engines Company has been the
distributor for John Deere diesel engines in
Eastern Pennsylvania since 1979. During
that period, we have repowered or replaced
the engine in most models of machines
manufactured by Deere, both agricultural
and industrial.
We have been active in the OEM marketplace
both in new equipment and repowering or
replacing engines in used OEM equipment.
We have worked with many different types of
equipment, such as irrigation pumps, electric
generators, conveyors, fire equipment, air
compressors, and various construction arid
agricultural machines manufactured by com
panies other than Deere.
We try to maintain an inventory of 70 new
engines on hand at all times, and pride
ourselves on fast (usually 24 to 48 hours)
delivery.
We maintain our own in-house fuel injection
pump room and a complete parts inventory.
We now offer a generous core credit
exchange on your old engine.
At Evergreen, we deliver....from application
engineering to follow up service.
Give us the opportunity; we’ll prove what we
say.

Ag College Seeks Old Photos, Documents
The Delaware Agricultural
Experiment Station is looking
ahead to its 100th birthday in 1988
and is already planning a
celebration. As part of that effort
Dr. Donald Crossan, station
director and dean of the College of
Agricultural Sciences at the
University of Delaware, is seeking
old photographs, reports, and
other printed materials that relate
to farming and agricultural
research.
A few old glass negatives were
discovered in the attic of a
university building several years
ago, and have been saved. But
Crossan believes there are many
photographs and documents from
the late 1800 s and early 1900 s in
private collections.
Crossan is looking for all kinds of
agriculturally oriented material,
especially involving the ex-

the no-till position is filled.
To date, over 80 different county
farmers have used the county no
till program. The program gives
the farmer a first hand look at how
various planters work before they
purchase their own equipment.
Although most program par
ticipants plan to lease District
equipment another year or two,
many have purchased new
equipment from seeing how they
worked under the lease rental
program.
The District hopes to someday
phase out the no-till program, but
until custom planting or leasing
becomes more available, the
District sees an important need to
assist its farmers to reduce soil
erosion through the program.
Information on no-tilling and
equipment leasing arrangements
is available through calling the

from the university.
Anyone having such materials is
encouraged to contact the Office of

Delaware, Newark, DE 19717-1303.
Arrangements will be made to
examine the materials and secure
copies or otherwise transfer the
information. All materials will be
handled carefully and returned to
the lenders.
Plans are now under way to
commemorate the 100th an
niversary of the Delaware
Agricultural Experiment Station,
and will focus on the period bet

legislation funding the nationwide
program was enacted, and May
1888, when Delaware’s station was
actually organized.
