tion planted black locust trees
at the Noith Appalachian Ex
perimental Wateished, Co
shocton, Ohio They planted
one-yeai-old seedlings in Two
one-acie plantings on eroded
and gullied land, setting the
trees six feet apart (about
1,200 per acre)
Ten yeais after the trees
were planted, the two 1-acre
plantings were subdivided into
*4-acre plots, and each winter
for eight winters one plot was
cut for fence posts.
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.
The initial cost of the trees
is small—about a penny a
tree. Planting and cutting can
be done during slack Masons. .

iSVi^v-a,
Your friendly banker
You probably don’t think of your cows as bankers, but
if you put them on the Pioneer Feeding Program, they
can be a sure source of steady, extra income The goal
of this high-nutnent feeding program is simple more
milk per cow. 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.
