Store Ephrata Water Source Dew may be an important source of moisture for plants in the Midwest, the ILS. Department of Agriculture reports This is in dicated by tests in Ohio that show accumulation of dew can total as much as 10 inches a year and in some years' may furnish up to 20 per cent of the total water supply for crops in the humid areas of the Midwest The studies were made at Co shocton, Ohio, by USDA’s Agri cultural Research Service. Import ance of dew as a moisture-source in other parts of the Nation re mains to be determined, since tests like those conducted in Ohio have not been made in other areas of the U S An apreciable amount of mois ture that condenses as deyv on plant leaves is absorbed directly by the plants, USDA researchers say Also, some of the dew flows down plant stalks’into the ground, thus adding to soil moisture. . There is a widely held belief that dew gives little benefit to plants, because most of it is lost through evaporation by the morn ing sun However, USDA studies in Ohio show that dew can be an important source 6f moisture for growing plants. In the USDA tests, dew ac counted for as much as 0 08 inch of water in a single day and at times provided a monthly water supply of one inch or more.

"The time to feed a cow Strange as it sometimes seems, dry cow feeding is a tru® course to milk production and long cow life. Extra body weight and built-up reserves of strength resulting from a good dry cow feeding plan put a cow in shape to deliver a big, strapping - calf and go right to r work on a long, steady lactation the day she freshens. Purina on-the-farm research tells us that 100 lbs. extra body weight on a dry cow means up to 2000 lbs. more milk in her next lactation ... in addition to the benefits of health she gains. Purina D and F (dry and freshening) CHOW is tailor* made for dry cow feeding. It contains ample quantities of body-building nutrients to build both cow and unborn calf during this critical period. It contains minerals for strong bones, vitamins for health. Properly fed, quality Purina D & F Chow not only give* cows a big head start on their next lactation... it keep* them in condition to breed again and again and again... for long, profitable, healthful productive life.
