Mechanical Corn _Pickers.

The corn picker {8 not a new implement but was invented about '1850; and was one of the clumsiest, most finefficient implement imagine ‘able. The early pickers were heavy horse-drawn, bull wheel drive machines and never enjoyed any great popularity in the corn belt. Adverse weather conditions at picking time made poor footing for the traction drive machine and it was eliminated ‘as impractical. The development of the power take-off for tractors eolv‘ed this difficulty and the gradual improvement of materials and workmanship proved that the picker ‘would work! = < _ Today we. can take our choice of one row pickers, two row pickers tractor mount pickers, push pickers ull pickers and about §57 other "lm all efficient.

Motorists Are Belng Warned

“School days mean caution days,” is the warning issued to truck drivers and motorists of Indiana by Ryan B. Hall, Safety Director of the Indiana Motor Tratffic Association. 3

With thousands of care-free children once again crossing streets, walking on the highways and riding in school buses, traffic hazards have increased two-fold according to Hall. “When approaching any school, whether it be within a municipality or in a rural district motorists gshould exert the utmost caution™ he warned. “Never count on a child to do what you think he will. Always expect the unexpected.” Hall strgased the law which renires all vehicles to come to a full stop for a school bus unloading passengers regardless of whether a motorist is preceeding in the same or opposite direction of the bus, Operators of trucks in coming to a full stop on a highway for a school bus must signal clearly their Intentin of stopping. “The most dangerous months of the year for traffic accidents are before us,” he stated. “The death toll for 1936 in Indiana is higher than ft was at this time last year. The slaughter goes on and will continue unless motorists wake up to the fact that they and their loved ones may be next on the grim reaper's list.”
