The exact same question to ask
when buying Concrete Blocks
Want a strong block? Then insist on a heavy block!
Proper ingredients, right proportions, and controlled
finishing are bound to produce strong blocks!
You can buy New Holland Concrete Blocks with confi
dence. They are made to stand the test!

Late Summer
Renovation Time
There is no need to “put up”
with poor pastures that are not
paying their way. Good pastures
should produce two and one-half
to three tons of dried forage per
acre and milk yields of 6,000 to
8,000 pounds.
July to September is a good
time to remove that old unpro
ductive sod and replace it with
a new highly productive pas
ture. John B Washko, professor
of agronomy at Pennsylvania
State University, says four steps
are needed. (1) Destruction of
poor vegetation, (2) Application
of lime and fertilizer to raise the
fertility level of the soil, (3) Se
lection and seeding of legume
grass mixtures adapted to soil
conditions and management used,
and (4) Proper management of
new pastures.
