T-ast week I thought that I had shade and watches me. That is
something figured out, but now I’m unless I’m picking peas or
not too sure. You see, every time strawberries and then she lays
that lam outside working up a down in front of me so that I must
sweat, my tiger cat lays in the ask her to move continually. When

More air
Its exceptionally powerful 39 inches fan delivers an air speed of 280 MPH and is recommended
for use with a tractor of 60 or more horsepower
More penetration.
The AIRFLO LONG RANGE CANNON ensures excellent coverage for vegetables, row crops
and trellised plants The cannon sprays up to 130 feet with each pass The swivel head can be
moved in any direction from the tractor seat
' Improved coverage
Two smaller air spouts to ensure coverage of the "blind spot" between motor unit and the
cannon
Greater precision
The AIRFLO LONG RANGE CANNON has a
self-regulating control system The fluid flow
rate is proportional to the R P.M’s of the
P.T O. and therefore to the speed of the
tractor (for a given tractor gear speed) This
is your guarantee of improved dosage and
therefore of improved treatment
Greater adaptability
With the OS 401 piston-diaphragm pump (12
gallons/mmute at 284 P S I), the double
high and low pressure circuits, and the de
clutchable fan, it can also be used with a
hand gun (for winter treatments, weeding
and for washing down the tractor)
I finally get tired of her and use a
stern voice, she will run and lay
under the hemlock tree.
Anyway, I figured she was very
smart to just relax and rest while I
weeded the garden and planted
seeds. No wonder they say a cat
has nine lives they take care of
themselves!
But then several of our children
came home for Memorial Day
weekend and they had no sym
pathy for my hot job of mowing the
yard. In fact, they said that it was
good for my health, to get my heart
pounding 120 times per minute as I
push the mower up our hilly lawn.
So I got to thinking about the
people who retire and simply relax
in front of the television.
Sometimes they don’t live as long
as those who have a hobby or other
interests that keep them on their
feet.
