Made of lightweight plastic, the Safex Drive Alert weighs less than an ounce and is contoured to fit comfor- tably behind the ear. It can be worn even if the driver wears eyeglasses. As soon as the driver's head begins to nod, an 86 -decibel buzzing signal sounds -- enough to wake someone dozing off, according to the Cana- dian distributor Doverchem Limited. In the U.S., the American Automobile Association has taken an active interest in selling the device to its members with the understanding that the device should not be used to keep a driver awake, only to give ear- ly warning of approaching sleep. The patented Drive Alert is powered by a hearing aid battery and can be switched off for storage. The retail price is approximately $19.95 and information is available from Doverchem Limited, P.O. Box 66, Agincourt, Ontario M I S 3B4. Or, you can phone (416) 487-7956. ❑ New Landini Tractors Landini tractors, known throughout Europe for nearly 60 years, are now being marketed in the U.S. and Canada.

The idea is quite simple really ... you can pick up a handful of damp soil and feel it for yourself. Take that earth in the palm of your hand ... you can see and feel how the loose crumbly structure can hold the nutrients, moisture and oxygen that crops need to grow and flourish. But squeeze that soil in your fist and you squeeze the capacity to promote growth and plant life right out of soil. If you can do that with a squeeze of your hand, what does the weight of a tractor and spreader do? An LH manurigation system eliminates that kind of compaction and supplies your crops' nutrient needs! Find out more about MANURIGATION, call or write... . ge seo„,,net 111�i R.R. #3, Walton, Ontario.
