It pays to feed heifers,
dry cows the Purina Way!
Grain feeding of heifers and dry cows is an accepted
practice by leading dairymen here in the East. They
do it to make more milk... and more money. Many
report 1,000 pounds more milk during the next lacta
tion when a dry cow is properly conditioned on
Purina D & F Chow, You feed it according to body
weight... a thousand-pound cow, for example, needs
only 10 pounds a day, Purina D & F—full name.
Dry and Freshening Chow—is specially designed to
help.build body condition, which later converts to
low-cost Bpilk, You’ll find D'& F in coarse or pellet
form, whichever fits yourTeeding situation best.
Either way, it’s one of the
smartest feed buys on-the-
market today Ask for. it by
»ame — “Purina, D & F” —.

Crop Summary
Rains, Winds Cause Some Damage
Torrential rains, high winds
and„hail caused some crop dam
age in the county early this
week, but damage was slight
in most areas. The rains have
brought on rapid growth of
weedfe in unsprayed corn fields,
but weed control is generally
good in the country. Corn got
a head start on weeds because
of the dry conditions last
month.
Wheat benefited somewhat
by the showers, but prospects
still indicate a short straw crop.
Barley is extremely short in
most county fields with esti
mates of barley grain some
what less than normal because
of early drought conditions.
Showers and high humidity

last week were ideal for hay
and'pasture growth, but slowed
field work, particularly hay
making, according to the
weekly crop and weather sum
mary issued Tuesday by the
Pennsylvania ( Crop Reporting
Service.
Despite unfavorable field cur=>
ing conditions, hay cutting con
tinued during the week ended
June 10. Hay made so far haa
been of fair quality, but dry
weather is needed in many
areas for proper curing. Pas
tures are supplying normal
amounts of feed.
Corn planting continued in
northern counties. Cultivation
and spraying for weed control
went ahead in the south. Ab
out 90 per cent of the corn
planting in the state has been
completed, and generally the
crop is making good progress.
Weeds also have flourished and
control is a problem.
Wheat and bailey are mak
ing good growth. Barley haa
headed in most sections, and
is beginning to yellow. Wheat
is heading and looks neaily
normal in most areas. Oats are
making excellent growth and
some fields in the southeast are
beginning to head, with a good
crop in prospect.
Potatoes have recoveied ivell
from late May frosts. Plant
ing continued in the noith.
Tobiacfco field planting is m
full swing in the Lancaster
aiea.
Prospects for most vege
table ciops are good. Aspara
gus harvesting is past the peak,
with stiavvbeiry haivest in full
swing. Harvesting of green
peas for processing has started
in the extreme south. Most to
matoes that weie hit by fiost
have been replanted, and mosi
stands look good. Sweet com
is being replanted uliere Host

Weekly temperatures gener
ally were above normal and
were more typical ot July and
August. Weekly amounts ot
rainfall ranged trom 1 to 1.5
inches. Some areas had up to
2.25 inches.
