No twisting or turning ... no guesswork . . . just
look ahead and cover big acreage. Mow with pre-
cision around fence posts, in orchards and in small
irregular fields.
Front mounting means the tractor is ready at
any time for raking, hauling or other drawbar
work. Mount the mower and leave it on during
entire haying season.
Touch the hydraulic control lever of the CA
Tractor to raise or lower the cutter bar.

Garcia who attended Taylor High
School in Taylor, entered the Navy
in January 1952.
The Weiss is well known hy the
Amphibious Force for her support
of the Navy Underwater Demoli-
tion Teams. These teams are called
“frogmen" because of the swim-

The Weiss is named for Marine ___ __
Sgt. Carl Walter* Weiss who lost' President Truman,
his life in the Solomon’s campaign
during World War II..
Technical Sergeant. He is stationed
ords. These artieles are taken
from a pamphlet published hy
one of the larger feed manu-
facturers of the country.
Right from the start, let us
make it clear that hens in cages
offer a business opportunity for
folks in the South. Many people
have in the past thought of egg
production as a few hens on a farm
or in the back yard. Cage opera-
tions do not fall into this class. If
you are interested in a family en-
terprise- or a business investment
that has real profit opportunities,
consider these points:
Hens in cages are dean, pleas-
ant factories, where hens do most
of the work. Each bird spends her
life in a separate cage. Feeding
and egg collecting are easily done.
There is very little heavy or dis-
agreeable work.
Professors D. F. King and John
Goodman at Alabama Polytech-
nic Institute report that a cage
operation should return about 14.00
to $5.00 per cage for your labor.
This is above all operating expens-
es at 1052 prices. Thus, a well-run
egg factory with 2,000 cages should
make $8,000 at 1052 prices. While
this profit might decline somewhat
in future years, the outlook is
bright for better income for most
other businesses with so low an
investment. _
Cost figures gathered by Pur- j , .. „ ,, , „
ina and other studies made by Ala- Mr‘ and Mrs- Kerr* Cald"t>11
bama Polytechnic Institute show have had word from their son,
that the cost of getting started is Berry Caldwell, saying that he
about $5.50 per cage. This includ- y,as been promoted to the rank of
es all cost of housing, feed and
the birds themselves up until they >
start to lay. It does not include ___
the operator’s own work nor the j
cost of land. The expense will be
spread over a 6-month period. j
Most operators will want to I
start with 1.000 cages. They can!
figure a total investment of $5,500 ,
before their factory starts to pro- j
duce. At present prices, the total
investment should he paid off in
slightly over one year’s operation.
The owner then can use part of
his profits to expand.
Other egg factory owners will
want to start with a 2,000-hen op-
eration. They should figure on
$11,000 capital, but should pay it
off in a little over one year.
Some folks are starting 500-cage
units as a sideline to farming or
work in town. Some retired people
also start with a 500-cage opera-
tion.
They can add other 500-cage
houses up to a total of 2,000. This
is the ideal size for most family-
operated egg factories.
A big advantage in getting j
started now is that the investment
can be paid off so rapidly. Should
profits decline somewhat later on,
it would take more months to pay
back original cost.
A ready market for eggs at
good prices. The South needs 25,-
000,000 additional hens just to sup.
ply the eggs w-hich now are being
shipped in. Prices paid to farmers
in the South for plain barnyard
eggs avernge 10c to 15c a dozen
above prices received in the Mid-
west. Cage eggs are unusually
clean and attractive. Most opera-
tors will find a ready demand for
eggs at or above this profitable
price.
Washington, March 27.—Secre-
tary Benson plans to reduce Agri-
culture Department spending—ex-
cept for farm price supports—
about 10 per cent in the coining
fiscal year and considerable more
in the following year.
With White House approval, he
laid before congress Thursday a
revised budget for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, trimming $131,-
400.000 from a budget of $1,324,-
400.000 recommended by former
.....
Benson indicated possible reduc-
tions or more than $200,000,000 in
a budget to be submitted a year
from now.

to start control of
early-season cotton insects
A good, early start so important to young cotton plants
can be handicapped by lygus bug, stink bug, thrips and
other early-season insects. It is important, therefore, to
get them under control with dieldrin as soon as they
make their first appearance.
Dieldrin kills early-season insects
Start the season right. .. start with dieldrin for economi-
cal, effective insect control. Lygus bug, stink bug, thrips,
cutworm and leafhopper simply cannot survive around
dieldrin. Neither can fleahoppers or grasshoppers.
Dieldrin is easily applied in spray or dust form and it
is particularly suited to airplane application. Just a few
ounces of actual dieldrin per acre, in the spray or dust
mix, give a high-kill job . . . and such small amounts
mean economy. Depend on dieldrin for low, low cost.
This season don’t let early-season pests
get a foothold on your cotton. See your
insecticide dealer and plan to treat with
dieldrin early ... for healthy, top-quality
cotton.
