We all know that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. And when it comes to harvesting your crop, it's also the most gentle. So our Natural Flow Harvesting System does just that. We mount- \ ed the cylinder transversely. This means, \ mw that, unlike other combines, your crop never C 9 changes direction. And that means that I I there’s less chance of crop damage. Even the I I unloader tube has been designed so there are no right angles, but a smooth, gentle flow of your crop as it’s sent on its way, in a straight line, the best way. The GLEANER ® way.

Over the years I’ve shared my family’s life with the readers. When I started in 1970, my two CfioUEANER* I AGCO I Ik* ■«<•«•! oldest were in college, my two youngest were in elementary school, and the two others were in high school. It was a busy time in my life and there were many things to write about as our children were quite active in school, church and 4-H. My parents had just moved off the farm as all of their farm buildings were tom down to make way for a new Route 222. The next decade was busy as I tried to care for both my children and may parents. I’m sure many people find them selves in this same predicament When the editor intro duced me to the readers in the October 17,1970 issue he said, “Ida’s Notebook is written by a farm wife who has been faithfully keeping a diary since she was 16 years old. The column is informal enough to make room for both the big events and the little details of farm life which together make farming what it is.” In that same issue of 1970,1 counted 10 public sales. Today there aie near er 110—and I should know as I call the auctioneers each Monday morning to get a Sale Report. Another difference is die size of the newspaper and also the subscription price which was two dollars a year in 1970. I have shared births, weddings, and deaths with the readers. Some of them in turn have writen to me or phoned to say “keep writ ing.” I’m hoping I can do that for a while longer. kVE ON WINTFI FUEL BILLS!! * Tuefon Healing Oil Additive can save up to 25% in fuel consumption * Cleans furnace as it burns * Keeps water out of fuel * Satisfaction Guaranteed ($69.95 - Free Delivery • UPS) (1/2 Gal treats 1600 Gal Healing Oil) Mail order to L&L Enterprises 42 Maplewood Dr. Binghamton, NY 13901 1-800-260-2272 UNI-HYDRO IRONWORKER 35 to 120 Tons Selling: Scotchman, Uni-Hydra Mubea I BENDER DAVD S.
