An outstanding
characteristic
of K-137
KimberCHlKS
As of January 1, 195<5, K-137
Kimberchiks led in early egg size
In all three official random sample
tests in which they were entered—
California, Missouri, and Utah.
Since large eggs are often worth
100% more than small, and 35-
fO% more than medium, this char
acteristic of the K-137 can make a
great difference in income during
the pullet year.
The K-137 is also noted for its
good egg quality, both shell and
Interior. The high percentage of
firm albumen results in more AA
quality eggs.
The K-137 has good livability...
93.4% to about 18 months in tha
three official tests in which they
were entered last year.
We invite you to compare tha
performance of this outstanding
acock under your own manage
ment.

Three young men from the Lan
caster area who are students in
the College of Agriculture at
Pennsylvania State University
are among the 12 recipients of
Pennsylvania Power & Light
Company Agricultural Scholar
ships, it was anounced by Charles
Oakes, PP&L president. The
local students are Warren C.
Heinly, 21 East James St, Lancas
ter, Glenn A Shirk, Rl, Quarry
ville; and Edward L. Schwar, 56
South Pearl St., Lancaster.
PP&L awards agricultural
scholarships annually to three
students in each of the under
graduate classes in the College of
Agriculture who are residents of
the utility’s service area. Since
1947 when the program was initi
ated, 24 recipients of these schol
arships have been graduated from
the university. These graduates
have moved into a number of im
portant fields including agricul
tural extension, vocational agri
culture, forestry and farm man
agement.
In announcing the grantees of
this year’s program, Oakes said
they were made on the basis of
character, scholarship and
promise of usefulness in the field
of agriculture. He pointed out
that PP&L’s scholarship assist
ance to young people studying
agriculture was built around a
recognition of the importance of
agriculture to the economy of the
state and with the knowledge that
continued development of the
area agricultural potetial will be
enchanced by the development of
knowledge in all of agriculture’s
related fields.
Warren Heinly, a graduate of
Lancaster High School, is a senior
in the general agricultural cur
riculum. He has been on the
Dean’s List, was a member of the
Student Council for the College
of Agnctulure and is the reci

Exposition. He lives on an 81-acrs
dairy farm.
Edward L Schwar is a senior

Curriculum. While at McCaskey
High School he was captain of
the swimming team and held a
state championship in the 50-
yard free style. At Penn State he
is a member of the Landscape
Society and served as treasurer.

Xi, honorary horticulture fratern

The agricultural scholarship
competition is one of two PP&L
programs of educational assist
ance The other phase of educa
tional assistance now in its fifth,
year, provides six scholarships
each year to high school seniors
from the utility’s service area for
study at any of 15 Central East
ern Pennsylvania colleges and
universities.

Now you may raise 320-pound
heifer calves in only 4 months’
time.
In recent feeding work at Purina’s
Research Farm, 89 calves were
fed exclusively on Purina’s Nurs
ing Chow-Calf Startena Program.
At 4 months of age the Holstein
heifers in this group averaged 320
pounds ... a full 60 pounds heav
ier than is considered “good” for
calves of that age. (Average as
reported in Morrison’s “Feeds
and Feeding.”)
And, these calves put on their
vigorous, healthy growth for less
than half the cost of whole milk
feeding.
Simple ... Easy .. . Cost-Cutting
Purina’s Calf Program takes ad
vantage of the life stimulating
powers of colostrum ... It pro
vides the extra vitamins, min
erals, energy, and disease protec
tion not found in whole milk.

Program Works:
Colostrum for the first 3 days.

lous disease-resistance factors.

Trace Elements
No Worry Here,

PSU Work Finds
Preliminary reports of a sur
vey of 61 counties support pre
vious indications that Pennsy
lvania forage crops when fed with
concentrate feeds supply enough
of the so-called “trace elements”
to fill usual requirements of well
fed farm animals. Work on this
subject by C. E. Frc.nch, C. B.
Smith and others at the Agricul
tural Experiment Station at Uni
versity Park is being continued
The survey is being conducted
by means of chemical analyses of
samples of red clover and tim
othy, two good indicator plants
common to the whole State and
of the soils on which the samples
were collected. The clover sampl
es have been analyzed and the
data are being published in Sta
tion Bulletin 624, now in press
All plant samples were careful
ly collected to prevent contam
ination with soil which, although
unpalatable, contains far higher
percentages of several nutrient
elements than plants.
When the timothy and soil sam
ples have been analyzed and the
mineral contents of the concent
rates usually fed with forages
have been taken into account, a

Nursing Chow (Purina) for the

Gives calves minerals, vitamins,
energy, and disease protection not
found in whole milk.
Calf Startena (Purina) for the
next 3 months. It is during this
“fast growth” period that Purina
ted calves make gains up to triple
their birth weight, build strong
bones and smooth coats. At 4
months, they’re big, rugged heif
ers already halfway to breeding
weight.
Practical Dairymen Agree
Practical dairymen throughout
the country have often stated:
“My calves really go for these
Purina Calf Chows.” .. they
have proved easily digestible.”
“Nutritional scouring and death
loss have been practically elim
inated.”
Ask us about the facts on Nursing
Chow and Calf Startena. Order
some. Aim to grow big, husky
calves in only 4 months on your
farm.
