the farm of Elias Muser, Rl, Mt.
Joy, located a mile southeast of

Sloat urges growers to attend,
bring their pickers and sharp
color vision.
He says that the recent hot dry
weather has caused blossom drop
and poor set in the tomato crop.
The uneven moisture conditions
have also caused blossom end rot.
“The last four to six days before
picking are critical in the tomato”
Sloat says. “The starch turns to
sugar, the color turns red, flavor
improves and the weight increases
rapidly.”

Visit the Steer Feeding Demonstration at the Stock Yards* Lancaster.
We can talk to you about Purina Steer
Fatena and how it fits into any type
feeding operation. We can tell you why
it’s better than a-single-source protein.
We can show you records of good daily
gain at low cost... .BUT THAT ISN’T
LIKE SEEING FOR YOURSELF.
That’s why we’re-running a cattle feed
ing demonstration... to let you see
first-hand just what Purina Steer Fa-
The Steers were started April 27th to be fed 120 days, weighed and
graded, divided into # two pens of 10 steers each. They are being
fed at the Stock Yards.

tena can do. We’re feeding two pens
of cattle. One pen gets Purina, the
other a single-source protein. We want
you to watch the progress of this feed
ing trial. Visit it often. We’re confident
the Purina-fed steers will show you how
you can produce faster gains and more
beef at less cost with Purina Steer Fa
tena than with a single-source protein
supplement.
