ce received for milk in mfd-
Apnl was estimated at $4.20
per cwt. or 40 cents below the

cents below April 1962. The

Council, but could have been
(markedly reduced had there
been an adequate supply of wa

authorities recommend a mini

WATER SYSTEM
What’s the most valued piece
of equipment on todays modern
farms? Chances are good that
it’s the water system. Without
an electric water system, the
twentieth century farmer wou
ld not be able to water his
livestock, irrigate his crops,
water his lawn or make use of
any of today’s labor-saving wa
ter using appliances, such as
automatic clothes washers, etc.
