How balanced amino acids
help you balance the books...
All producers naturally want to get greater returns on their
investments. With Pioneer dairy feeds, that’s exactly what
happens. You get hidden extras when you’re feeding Pioneer,
because Pioneer makes the feeds with balanced amino acids for
better protein building. Here’s how they work: Amino acids
are the basic building blocks of proteins. When they’re balanced,
you get top production and top profits. That’s because you’ll be
challenging your cows to produce up to their bred-in ability.
But in addition to production and profits, Pioneer gives you
more than 90 years of experience in the feed business. That
experience goes into an extra “plus” for you: service and ideas.
to help you develop the best feeding program for your herd.
Call or stop in soon. We’ll show you how you can balance the
books ... at big profits.

President Campbell, in his
dedicatory address, traced the
history of the Lancaster yards
from before the Civil War. He
said private treaty trading has
made Lancaster one of the top
cattle markets of the nation for
more than a century.
“’However”, he said, “in the
past few yeais numerous stock
yaid companies, such as ours,
have instituted the auction sale,
which has become an increas
ingly popular method of buying
and selling livestock.
“The board of directors of
the Union Stock Yards, being
aware of this trend, decided to
do something about it.” he con
tinued.
He said the stockyard com
pany is happy to be able to
offeir patrons a choice in the
method of buying and selling,
Economic Enemies
At a luncheon, for livestock
men, press, farm and elected
officials, Robert Heilbron,-presi
dent of the Lancaster Live
stock Exchange urged extension
service personnel to recom
mend terminal marketing to
livestock farmers.
“When a farmer asks you
how should I sell my cattle tell
them to do business with the
men at the terminal markets,
he said.
He said too much direct sell
ing and “grade and yield” sell
ing Of livestock has done much
at a profit!

and terminal market men may
be able to pull the industry out
