Combine Gets Good Results In Soybean Harvest
Hudson Iowa October 26 A combine harvester thresh er is harvesting soybeans at the B S Strayer farm north of town. In seven hours last Saturday it cut 18 acres and by evening nearly 40 acres had been harvested with beans in the bin. Three men staff the operation, one feeding the wagon, one driving the tractor, the third guiding the machine. Yield on Manchu beans reached 28 bushels per acre, with Dunfields expected higher. The machine cuts three rows at once, works best in dry afternoons, and proves cheaper than the old system by about $2 40 an acre.
