Some short literature

I was flipping through an old farm journal today and saw these ads and thought I'd post them.

The picture is of the old CC back in the early days.

The add for the picker sheller tells of how Mr. Miller can pick his corn at 30% and take it directly to the dryer. It would be cost prohibitive to dry corn from 30% to 13% today.

I have some big piles of Farm Journal, Country Gentleman (my favorite), Farming, The Farm, etc from the 30's, 40's and 50's. I could read them just for the advertisements.

I remember the older guy's bragging about loading 100 loads of manure a day, all by hand. They forgot to tell us that the spreaders only held 45-50 bushels of manure. We were forking 150 bushel spreaders full for twice the cattle they had when they were making their brag. Doesn't seem fair to me. A lot of farms today don't even own a fork, or scoop shovel. Let a lone know how to use one. Every thing now is done with skid loaders. Don't blame them though. They can get a lot more work done with them than we ever could by hand.

The old ads are really nice to look through. One of these days I will post my collection of Case ads.
