“We’ve concenti ated on pro

duction,” the classifier said,
“But maybe we have forgotten
some of the good type char
acteristics we also need ” As
an example, Simpson averaged

Reduce Crop Losses!
Feeders, Dairymen! Sealed
Storage Can Help You Do It!
Don’t let hot, dry weather cut you completely out of your corn crop
profits! An investment in Butler sealed storage can save the day!
If you normally expect a yield of 100 bushels per acre—and dry
weather cuts this yield in half—your 50-bushe! crop, cut as silage
and stored in a Butler Stor-N-Feed unit, will produce as many pounds
of beef or pounds of milk as your 100-bushel yield, when harvested
as grain. It also will pay you to mvestigate late forage crops such
as Sudan hybrids. Put up as lo* mcistuie silage, the nutrient yield
per acre is very attractive.
See us today for details on a proven Butler Stor-N-feed system.,.
