GROFFTOWN RD. Next to the Waterworks Why Crops Need Limestone Two important Ingredients needed by crops are cal cium and magnesium. Both are legularly lost through the soil by the following ways: (1) By leaching, which is a slow leaking away, a normal process where there is raintall. (2) By crop removals, Legumes, such as hay and other greens, are taken oft the fields, instead ot plowed under. (3) By general use of the soil. Because of this loss, the soil becomes what is known as high m acid. Putting on limestone may supply calcium and magnesium and correct the soil acidity at the same time. It has been shown in experiments by agricultural colleges and experiment stations that for every’ dollar spent for limestone, from $3 to $l5 are returned to the farmer through increased yields. The T7.S. Government is so thoroughly convinced of the worth of applying limestone that about one-half of the cost is granted free when application is made for it. This is to encourage farmers to be certain to use lime stone. It does pay to use limestone! MARTIN'S LIMESTONE IVAN M.

FARM ibure in the Limelight/ Representatives of Butler Manufacturing Company —a major source of products and services for agriculture since 1901—are now in this area inter viewing a number of progressive farmers concern ing their farmstead expansion plans. This survey is the initial step in Butler’s plan to appoint a fran chised Agri-Builder to serve those interested in more profitable farming operations. The Agri- Builder not only will carry a complete line of quality farm products, but also will be qualified to assist farmers in their expansion planning, construction and financing. Butler believes the establishment of an Agri-Buildership will mean improved farm stead efficiency and increased profits for the farmers in this area, as similar Butler dealerships have accomplished in communities throughout the Midwest.

Chances are they could be giving more milk than you’re getting now. So feed ’em Pioneer. It helps your cows produce up to their full bred- in capacity. Because Pioneer makes the feeds with balanced amino acids for better protein building. Amino acids are the basic building blocks for all proteins. Balance them and you get top production and top profits. How do the Pioneer people know this? They’ve been in the feed business for more than 90 years. Their scientific research has developed feeds formulated to the genetic capacity of herds in this area. Pioneer builds big healthy calves that develop into high-production, high-profij; milkers. And when dry cows freshen, Pioneer gives them all the nutrients they need for producing more milk than before. Let us show you how you can milk your cows for all they’re worth.
