how FAX formulation
helps increase Grade A output
Five to six hundred dollars extra in
vcur egg checks per year for each
10,000 birds It’s possible with FAX
formulated* Agwav Bits Actual farm
tests have shown that Bits raise shell
quality and lower considerably the
number of cracks
Let’s say your Grade A’s average
95% Chances are about 3% of the
lemammg 5% are cracks Another
1% may be lost in the house because
of poor egg sheH quality before the
eggs are gathered. Cutting the loss
from cracked eggs ir> half can jump
your egg checks as much as $5OO

of agricultural engineers W.
G. Lovely of ARIS, D. iH. Lut
trell of the Tennessee Agri
cultural Experiment Station,
and C. W. Bockhop of the
lowa Agricultural Experiment
Station.
These scientists -conducted a
senes of tests to evaluate the
operation of tillage tools in
terms of changes in soil con
dition They followed typical
procedures used -by farmers
—plowing 6 to 8 inches deep,
and operating implements at
4 miles per hour The tests
were made on Colo silt loam
and two complex soils
Clanon-Webster and Glenco-
Webster which if -well
drained are representative of
productive, desirable soils for
farming.
Disking and harrowing af
ter plowing usually failed to
break up clods one of the
main objectives of these oper
ations clod size was not
significantly reduced m six
out of seven experiments.
Tillage after plowing often
failed to reduce soil density
(compactness). In fact, disking
and harrowing immediately
after fall plowing actually
compacted the soil. Changes

same time you can select P-A-G varieties
with the ability to produce outstanding yields. The profit
or loss of your farm may well depend on the efficiency
of your corn growing program.
-”'C‘
The seed you select will be a key decision. You can
increase yields by selecting corn varieties bred to meet
the specific requirements of your farming operation.
P-A-G offers 49 varieties to choose from. Many of these
are adapted to your area. All have spelled-out character
istics so you can meet your needs, exactly.
For instance: there are P-A-G varieties noted for their
big yields of grain. Cobs are thin and full of deep rich
kernels. Ears are low on the stalk... ideal for mechanical
picking and shelling. Then, there are corns recommended
for silage. They grow tall and leafy, produce a good ear,
furnish extra tons of total digestible nutrients.
In addition, you can choose P-A-G corns proved for
high population planting ... corns with a high degree of
disease and insect resistance ... varieties noted for ex
ceptional standabilhy . . . even select for ear height,
husking ease, and drying characteristics . . . and of
course, a wide range of maturities lets you plan an effi
cient progressive harvest.
The 49 varieties P-A-G now offers are the best from
over 20,000 crosses developed and tested during the
past 21 years. All 49 are modern, up-to-date corns with
the proved performance to increase your farm profits.
