This combination of WD power and the Danuser Dig
ger takes the work out of hole digging whether for
fence posts, poles, seedlings or construction work.
This well-proved digger now mounts directly on
the WD Tractor... is driven through the power take
off. and controlled by the tractor’s hydraulic system.
It’s a one-man, easy-to-operate tool, adapted espe
cially for use with the WD Tractor.
Ball-joint mountings prevent damage when passing
over rocks and stumps with the digger in the operat
ing position. Shear-bolt on auger drive will release
before digger is damaged.
The Danuser Digger adds another to the long list of
jobs the versatile Allis-Chalmers WD Tractor can do.
See us for a demonstration.

Reduce Crop Costs
And Boost Yields |
Costs Up sls Billion
From 1941 to 1951
Skyrocketing farm production
costs that have increased three told j
in the past 10 years, can be ham- |
1 mered down by good soil and crop i
management methods that boost |
yields per acre and cut output ex-
J penses.
Pointing out that production costs
soared from $7.6 billion in 1941 to
$22.2 billion in 1951, the Middle
j West Soil Improvement committee
suggests these steps for reducing
crop expenses: *•
1— Follow a rotation that includes
soil-building crops to balance the
inroads of soil-robbing crops.
2 Use high yielding seed varie
ties best suited to your soils.
3 Build your soil's fertility level j
so crops have a well balanced
supply of plant nutrients.
4 Improve your soil’s drainage
and tilth by adding organic matter
regularly via well-fertilized le- j
gumes and barnyard manure.
You can stake down your
rising crop costs by proper
crop and soil management
which will boost your yields
| and cut costs.
I The steady use of fertilizer is
essential to any yield building and 1
j cost cutting program. An invest
! ment in plant food returns from $3
to $5 in increased crop value for
every dollar spent.
Farm economists report that at
today’s prices, fertilizer is a good
buy.

" Chick Scoop
If you have ever had trouble
chasing a flock of baby chicks
into their coop, the scoop
shown here will, no doubt, be
a welcome idea. Made of heavy
cardboard and wood, it can not
injure the chicks and is very ef
fective in driving them into the
coop in a hurry.
Many Farmhouses
Old and Inefficient
A great many farmhouses in the
United States are more than 50
years old and lack most of the
conveniences that are considered i
minimum needs in town. Yet, in j
many ways, farms lend themselves
to modern, comfortable houses
very readily. i
For example, many farm homes !
are tall and narrow enough to
crowd onto a 50-foot lot. Yet, space
is seldom a restriction on farm- i
steads. Usually, there is plenty of
room to spread out. Electricity on i
the farm has brought with it forced \
central heating systems that per
mit adequate heating of low one
story houses.
The front door often opens to
ward the public road and is seldom
used by either the family or visi
tors. Porches may cover all sides j
of the house, but only the one at i
the back door serves any useful [
purpose. Storage space, too, is fre- j
quently at a premium in present |
farm houses although the average
farm family can never get enough
storage space.
These undesirable characteris- j
tics should be taken into account
when a new farm home or remodel- ]
ing job is being planned. The rfk, st .
important point, however, is to j
plan well ahead of the actual con- j
struction date to avoid expensive
mistakes.

Bale Grass Silage
Where a field chopper is not
available for handling grass and j
legume silage, a pickup baler may j
be used without twine. The untied j
bales, “plugs,” are easier to han
dle than tangled forage.
W. T. (Tap) Bennett, Georgia
livestock booster, has been
named 1952 man of the year
for Georgia by the editors of
Wie Progressive Farmer maga
zine. Bennett is connected with
Central of Georgia Railway.
Methodist Missionary
Forced Out ot China
Rev. Francis Olin Stockwell, U.
S. Methodist missionary in China
whose mission had received some
aid from the Perry Methodist
Church, has recently returned to
the states after almost two years
in a Communist jail.
He was the last Methodist mis
sionary to come home from China.
He was arrested in the fall of
1950 for “espionage” and kept in
a Chungking iprison, constantly
subjected to a determined “brain
washing” treatment, according to
Time Magazine. After “confessing”
to his sins against the Communist,
Missionary Stockwell was released
at the Hong Kong border and came
home to recover his strength.
The local church’s mission spec
ial worked under Rev. Mr. Stock
well in China and was forced to
leave earlier in the Red control
of China.
Missionary Stockwell, and many
other missionaries like him, plan
to return to work elsewhere in the
Orient after a rest in the states.
Missionary Stockwell’s home is in
Perry, Okla.
