This is aear Iv felt bv hlch school and col lege bova who have been able to find haying Jobs waiting lor them. Last spring I commented on the revolutionized hav making at the Krcbs ranch near Cecil where hay is hardly touched bv human hands In any state. They swath, bale, pick up and stack with harro-bed. pellet and feed with power osgers through self feeders. This procedure Is catch ing hold with several new owners of this tvne of equip ment this year. The harro-bed automatically picks up bales In the field, stacks them on the carrier where the hav then Is transported to the hay stack by merely pushing a few levers. The equipment Is on the road In a few minutes and back to the field for another load. llr...n ' aid to farmers accounted for an Mr. and Ma lu-n J,k, .j enatbiv nun perwntaKe w i 7: .
