otary Mowers?

Turbo-cut, for one thing.Illustrated :The 21-tnch Pourer Prop liedRotar y=b Jacobs n

Exclusive with Jacobsen. Turbo-cut provides the smoothness and crispness ofcut comparable only to the scissor-like action of a Jacobsen reel type mower.

This eere-dynemie su(tion~lift rotorliterally draws up limp grass or flatlying runners and shears them evenlyand cleanly with four razor-sharpblades whirling at high velocity. Italso cuts tall, dense weeds that eitherstall ordinary mowers or are merelypushed over. Blades are replaceable.

J CO

• The e elusive suction-lift rotor is a heavy, formedsteel plate, highly resistant to impact damage.

• Four cutter knives give twice the cutting frequencyof mowers equipped with a straight bar.

• Cutter knives retract upon striking an object thatcannot be cut. When one edge becomes dull cutterknives can be turned over for further use. Bladeseasily replaceable.

• Incomparable Jacobsen-built Hi -Torque enginewith power to match the mower. Automatic re-coil starter, super-quiet muffler.

Whether you need a rotary for the club house lawn,close trimming around shrubs or landscaping, cut-ting and trimming bunkers, for rough or fair-way use-Jacobsen is superior on everycount - with models from 18 inch to24 inch cutting widths, manual or powerpropelled. Ask for a demonstration.

Good turf care is an expensive, time-consuming job. There is a way to cutcosts, however. With a Royer Shredderyou can save up to 89% of the man-hours needed to prepare all-importanttop dressings.

"Royerated" dressings improve turfquality, too-they're thoroughly mixed,aerated and reduced to fine particle sizewith all trash removed. And Royer

hredders are designed for efficiency.Units are highly mobile, easily fed anddischarge onto piles, windrows or alow truck.

Fo nd Ideal Forertilizer .ne

Rhode Island University Presents a Studyon Urea-Form Fertilizer CompositionsOn February 2nd, 1957 before a

group of New England agronomists,Rhode Island University presenteddata which resolved one of the mostcontroversial subjects since urea-formswere commercially introduced to themarket a few years ago. Nitroform hasalways suggested the use of their urea-form in fertilizer formulas if the userwere to obtain the highest benefit fromhis U-F applications. The benefits ofsingle season applications would begreatly reduced if the potential userwere forced to make applications ofphosphate and potash following thenitrogen. Again it has been shown thatvarious sources of nitrogen greatlyimproved the working qualities andnitrification characteristics of urea-form. Work conducted at Rhode IslandUniversity under the direction of Dr.Jesse DeFrance proves conclusivelythat urea-forms are both practical anddesirable in fertilizer formulas.
