Neill, past presi dent of the lowa Flying Farmers, reports bglow on the recent ex cursion to Hawaii by several mem bers of the National Flying Farm ers Association). Dear Ernie: Home again after 14 days on the most beautiful isles we ever expect to see. Leis till we could not carry them; every time we stopped, more leis, orchids. They seemed to have them by the hay rack load without end. If you can imagine, we set the Connie 340 (Constellation) down in the most beautiful flower garden o.n the island of Kauai that we have ever seen. They were-all just a dream as far as beauty is concerned. On the island of Oahu we saw David Sweet and at Hilo met Mary Genung at the airport She brought a box of mostly orchids and a lady slipper orchid cor sage for Birde and a box of Macadamia muts. We had such a. full time on the islands The guide looked after every thing, we never had to think about our baggage as he counted every piece at each move and it was always there when we got to each stop. Some, 130 Flying Farmers from-the United States on the one Island tour ans 14 of us on the tour through all the Hawaiian Islands It was all planned with the ut most precision and conducted in the same manner Arrived home in some cold weather, snow, about 10 above zeio. Think it will take some time to get back to normal as to climate and the four-hour time difference that we made each way. Again we say the Middle Nodaway River Valley of lowa is the most beautiful place we have seen yet, so ends another tour that we have dreamed of for a lifetime Pearl Harbor, Beach of Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the Edgewater Reef the newest and most modern on Oahu. Have moved in several hun dred head of cattle and hogs for the New Year operations Get ting them all acclimated and hos pitalized keeps us real busy. In all operations, we will be win tering some 1400 head of cattle and hogs, if Your brother. Harold.

P. B. Longenecker. YES ~ AND NO ,New Holland, R 1 I want to let you know I always was inter ested in the crop report of the county and state during the grow ing seasons; the 25 and 50 Year Ago items are very interesting, and to see photos and read about the editor’s trips to dis tant places. To read about the many winners at shows and their prizes is not interesting to me. "but maybe to some people. Please keep Dr. Foreman’s sermons in LF. Yours for a better yet farm paper HHF. THE OTHER VIEW Elizabethtown, R 3 Enclosed you will find my check for $2 for 20 weeks. Thank you for your special offer. I sure would miss Lancaster Farming for I sure enjoy reading it. It sure is the best farm paper for the money, I enjoy the pictures o fthe chii- make MORE MEAT per bushel Grain alone will make beef and pork. But to make meat on grain alone, cattle and hogs require up to twice as much grain as when their ration is balanced with a good supplement. Many cattle feeders report getting as much gain from 600 pounds of grain and 100 pounds'of Steer Fatena as from 1,100 pounds,of grain alone. Many feeders today also prefer to feed rations with stilbestrol to get the added gains and economy. Our Quality Mixing Service, plus the fact that we use Micro-Mixed Purina Steer Fatena, helps us insure you that all Micro ingre dients, such as stilbestrol, are properly blended in your cattle feed. Hogs fed on Purina Check-R-Mixed formulas should put on gains with only one-half the feed It takes when straight grain is used. We are equipped to take your grain, grind it just right for bogSf then mix it with just enough Purina Hog' Chow Concentrate to make those low-cost gains you must have for profit these days.
