* dJS*) Implement Company Marks Anniversary Manure Spreader First Built in 1889 The story of American free en terprise is graphically illustrated by two buildings at the Coldwater, Ohio, plant of the New Idea Divi sion, AVCO manufacturing corpora tion, which this year is celebrating its golden anniversary. One of these buildings (actually a series of connected buildings) covers over 15 acres and houses 705,000 square feet of manufactur ing facilities. Newly expanded, it boasts one of the most modern foundries in the nation and a full complement of equally modern production machines and processes. It is the plant in which New Idea produces its specialized line of farm implements and equipment. August Reutschilling, who has been with the company 47 years, stands nostalgically at the forge in the “museum”— a replica of the original plant, and it is the same forge at which he worked in his early days with the company. Across the street is a small, wooden frame building occupying just 1440 square feet of space. In it are an old forge and several simple machines of the kind used for manu facturing in the early 1900's. This is an almost exact replica of the modest structure in which Josgph Oppenheim first began building his now famous manure spreader in 1899 in the nearby village of Maria Stein, Ohio. The communities for miles around Coldwater, and sales personnel throughout the nation, know it as the “museum.” Large letters painted on the front wall identify the building as “New Idea Spreader Works-1899.’’ Inside are the four rooms in which Oppen heim and six helpers fashioned the first one of the most important and most widely used implements ever devised by the farm imple ment industry. The first room as you enter was the “forge and machine room,’’ containing a forge, hand shear, hand punch press, hand threading machine, small high speed drill, benches and water tank for cooling a gasoline engine.

Croisbredi Held Finer Type of Beef Animals Experiments in breeding range cattle show that—animal for ani mal—crossbreds are a finer type than the purebred stock from which they stem originally. in^Nbhking that assertion, a live stock specialist claims there is a definite advantage that could result from planned cross-breeding of beef animals and lack of uniformi ty of color is not an indication of Inferior market yield.
