normal year. And- even in a
dry year yields were higher al
though there is some question
about the economics of such
fertilizer use.
In 1962 when rainfall was
abundant, yields up to 125
bushels per acre were obtained
using 200 pounds of nitrogen,
100 pounds of phosphorous,
and 200 pounds of potash. In
1964 when the total rainfall
during the growing season
amounted to only 3.1 inches,
yields dipped to 95.5 bushels
with the same treatment. '
Net profit per acre based
on three levels of fertilization
seems to indicate that a mo
derate fertilizer treatment is
best during a dry year. Dr.
William Mitchell, extension
agronomist at the University
who conducted the research
found that the 200-100-200 level
of plant food produced high
er yields, but it cost too much.
Over the three-year test period,
a 50-25-50 level yielded the
most profitable return -per
acre $31.10 compared with,
$28.40 for 100-50-100, and $13.-
20 for 200-100-200.

Compensator
Livestock Mineral
Formulated on the Carnation-Albers Lab-Mix Livestock Program.
NOTES ON MINERAL NUTRITION
file new Florin LabrMix Formulated live
stock mineral COMPENSATOR is the result
of careful study and action. It is clear that
for superior herd health and high level pro
duction performance, the balance of phos
phorus and calcium in high alfalfa usage areas
must be given increased attention.
COMPENSATOR contains a high level of
phosphorus and a relatively low level of cal
cium/' It has a phosphorus-calcium ratio that is
close t« 1:1.
ECONOMICAL MILK PRODUCTION AND
LOW COST MEAT GAINS CAN ONLY BE
REALIZED THROUGH NUTRITIONAL BALANCE
The new Floiin Lab-Mix Formulated livestock mineral COMPENSATOR is formu
lated to bring about nutritional balance. It does so by compensating for nutrients
that tend to be either dificient or present in excess in the total daily ration.
COMPENSATOR comes to you through the Carnation-Albers research program and
years of practical application in the world famous Carnation dairy herd. This min
eral concentrate has been formulated to enable livestock to express their inherited
production capability.
