The trees were cut close to the ground, and at a slight angle so that water would not soak into and rot the stumps. Brush and weeds on the plot were also cut so they would not shade the stumps A few months aftei the trees were cut, the stumps sprouted, and each stump produced several rapidly growing sprouts Trees that developed fiom the sprouts weie harvested 13 years after the fiist cutting had been made Trunks of the trees were cut into seven- and five-foot fence posts First-cutting posts had a market value of $4OO per acre—an average of $4O per acre for each year of growth Posts from the second cutting were worth $624 per acre—an average of $4B per acre for each year of growth.

According to dairy specialists, 9 out of 10 cows don’t get enough feed, or the proper kind of feed, to produce up to their genetic capacity If this is the case with your herd, you may be getting 2,000 pounds of milk less, per cow per year, than you should. The Pioneer Feeding Program is based on inci easing feed allowance as long as milk production inci eases profitably. For example, as little as 600 pounds of feed invested in a dry cow returns as much as 2,000 pounds of milk Your milking herd will respond equally well when you challenge them to milk right up to their capacity We’.ll be happy to show you how you can milk your m- , for all their worth. We’ve done it for your neighbors in this community. Just give us a call or stop in We’re friendly, too. . . . feeds you can bank on Since 1870 Good's Feed Mi At cei-emoriies held in Walt- New Providence REPRESENTING LANCASTER C.OUNTY FARM ERS’ ASSOCIATION at a recent meeting of County Farmers’ Assn, presidents, secretaries, and informa tion committee, members were, left to right, James Martin, Harold Rohrer, and J.
