Lynch, who didn’t really finish his engineering studies at North Carolina State (they shipped him out in his sophomore year for “haz ing” a junior who. he says, hazed 4im> has invented all the other equipment he manufactures but this harvester, he believes, is his most important achievement. The frame-work will retail for SSOO to S6OO locallv. It is used with a one-row tractor—which most fanners own already. Nine people are required to operate the setup, a driver four croppers and four loopers. “My rig will get out as manv sticks as a big harvester,” said Lynch. “They should buy one of those big things to use just six or eight weeks a year? Mine, you can make a swing out of for your kids when you aren’t harvesting.” He was in a cheerful mood to dav as he reviewed some of the orders alreadv on hand for the harvester and recounted the re tention his equinment received at th° state fair in Raleigh. “Fifty thousand people sat down on it at the fir. They paid more attention to It than to a two-head ed cow.” Lvnch started his manufacturing company about six years ago in 1949, leaving John A. McKay Co., where he held a one-fifth interest. He has made monev with his new Diant but the firm has been show ing losses the past two years.
