Lancaster County FFA show

ribbons than did the 4-H mem
bers Thursday at the state junior
dairy show in Harnsbuig

winners and had animals in three

THIS FALL USE
VAPAM
on your Tobacco
Seed Bed
Weed-Free
Here’s how to do it.
Sprinkle VAPAM®on your
seed beds now. In the next
30 days it kills all those
weeds and grasses, germi
nating weed seeds, soil
fungi and those invisible
~ nematodes. Come seeding
time you have the healthiest
soil in the state! You get
more seedlings per square
yard up to twice as many.
And only a few —if any!
weeds. Your seedlings are
really strong and vigorous.
You can transplant fast for
the best crop you’ve ever
seen.
Result is hundreds of dol
lars saved in back-breaking
work and weeding costs. Yet
VAPAM costs only a penny
per square foot. Make more
profit next year! Don’t
share your crop with weeds
and soil borne diseases. Put
VAPAM on your seed beds
now. No special equipment
needed. It’s so easy and safe
to sprinkle on. You get
stronger seedlings, weed
control and more profit. Do
it now for best results.

ment of Agriculture for all

Now...market hogs in 4% months
New Purina feeding program weans pigs at six weeks ...»
grows pigs to 190 lbs. In 42/s months,.. cuts feed costs
4% ...1 lb. of pork for every 3,26 lbs. of feed, from weaning
to market.,.conditions sows faster for next farrowing.
Every year more proof piles up that
hogs should be fed according to
age and weight requirements.
Young pigs use feed differently than
do older hogs. They need more pro
tein ... more vitamins.... more of
the parts of the ration.
But, as pigs grow, they become more
efficient users of carbohydrates—the
less costly part of rations. The pro
portion of cheaper carbohydrates
can be rapidly increased.
Tests at the Purina Research Farm
showed that this new program cut
feed costs an average of 4% below
any previous Purina Program . . .
produced each pound of pork on
only 3.26 lbs. of feed from weaning to
market. It also gave sows the chance
to recover faster from farrowing and
nursing. Sows were ready to breed

Purina Baby Pig Chow and Pig
Startena, the famous Fast-Start
Twins, have been further improved
to take advantage of the newest re

has been improved to the point
where you may now use 33% more
grain during the last six weeks than
on previous Purina Hog Programs.

recommended steps closely. The
fast gains, early weaning, and in
creased efficiency of this new Purina
