Long Discusses
New Grain Drill
Sweet Valley Dealer
Likes Oliver's No. 64
A completely new grain drill to
fit modern-day farming practices
has been designed by the Oliver
Corporation, according to Charles
H. Long, Farm Equipment Dealer,
at Sweet Valley.
This all-new drill, the Oliver
Superior No. 64, holds almost twice
jous models—a bushel of grain and
80 pounds of fertilizer per lineal
foot of hopper length. In the plain
grain drill, a version of the com-
bination fertilizer and grain type,
hopper capdcity is almost two
bushels of grain per foot:
In addition, the hopper is excep-
tionally low to make loading easier
—only 3% feet in height at the
filling point. Hopper height remains
the same whether the farmer choos-
es the 20-inch, or the 15-inch
wheels, both designed to accommo-
date low-cost, used tires.
A great money-saver and time-
saver, Mr. Long points out, are the
lifetime-seal disc bearings that nev-
er require lubrication. This not only
eliminates daily greasing, but saves
Another unit that matches mod-
ern practices is the grass seeding
attachment. Grass seed can be sown
in bands, a method many authori-
ties recommend to insure better
hopper is only 20 inches off the
ground, and located at the rear
where shallow placement of seed
is assured. ;
Three famous Oliver Superior
mechanisms are included in this
new drill: an oil-bath variable
speed transmission that provides
144 different grain seeding rates,
the double-run force feed that
handles almost any kind of seed
of any size without waste or dam-
age, and efficient star-finger fertil-
izer feeders that will distribute at
30 different rates.
The frame and hitch on the drill
are also entirely new and made
extra strong. To make hitching eas-
ier the drawbar can be provided
with a self-locking hitch stand.
"Oliver Superior No. 64 drills are
built in several sizes and run widths,
and a large assortment of special
equipment is offered.
Drabick Writing Thesis
On Rural Sociology
Lawrence Drabick, former instruc-
tor of Vocational Agriculture at
Lehman-Jackson-Ross, was -written
up in a recent issue of the Lebanon
Daily News for his services as Rural
Sociology visitor connected with
Pennsylvania State University,
where Larry functions as graduate
assistant. k
Janice Ruggles of Lehman, together
with their two little boys Mike and
Mahlon, live on a farm near Pot-
ters Mills, too far from the Uni-
versity for easy daily commuting,
but delightful in other ways. Larry
has now accumulated all his ma-
terial and is busy writing the thesis
necessary for attainment of a MS
degree, expected in June after com-
pletion of 33 credits.
Janice, says Larry, is signed up
for some college courses, now that
both little boys are in school. Form-
er friends from Lehman, among
them Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Dawe,
have visited the Drabicks on the
farm where, to quote Larry, ‘we are
trying to induce chickens to lay
more eggs than they feel they
should.”

Arlene told us a story about
a little fellow who came home
from Sunday School and his
mother asked him what he had
learned. He said he learned a
song about a Cross-eyed Bear
whose name was Gladly. His
mother expressed her doubts
about this and next Sunday
asked the teacher what the
song was. His teacher said they
had sung “Gladly The Cross I
Bear.”

A young mother came into
our Shavertown store the oth-
er day with her: small young-
ster. As she was standing near
the counter one of the boys
gave the child a lollipop, which
we have here for all the kid-
dies. Her mother said, “What
do you say?’, and the child
answered, “I want three
more.” Her mother was em-
barrassed, but shouldn’t have
been, we know it was the little
brothers and "sisters she had °
at home that prompted this
answer, After all, why
shouldn’t the other children
have a lollipop too?
