tobacco crop is expected to
out-yield the record crop of
last year, and be almost 12%
higher than average, the Pa.
Crop Reporting Service said
this .week (Aug. 19).
The report is an upward re
vision of 2% over last month’s
estimate, and is based on the
nearly perfect growing weath
er during the latter part of
July.
Present estimates place the
total crop at 53 5 million.

Farm Surplus Nil in Decade,
Hoist Predicts With annual
increases in population and de
creases in .tillable acres, there
is little’ chance such a thing
as a farm commodity surplus
•nay exist by 1966
This forecast was made by
Miles Horst, special assistant
to U. S'. Secretary of Agri
culture An annual population
increase of thiee million,
against an annual loss of a
million tillable acres to hous
ing developments and factories,
will bring the surplus prob
lem to the vanishing point,

i
, Feeders, Dairymen! Sealed
L Storage Can Help You Do It!
Iten't let hot, dfy weather cut'you completely out of'your corn crop
profits', An investment in Butler sealed storage can save the day!
If'you normally expect’? yield* of 100 blishels per acre—and dry
weather cuts this yield in half—your 50-bushel 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 investigate late forage crops such
as sudan hybrids. Put up as loa* moisture silage, the nutrient yield
per acre is very attractive.
See us today for details on a proven Butler Stor-N-feed system...
big capacities, fast discharge rate, mechanically reliable -and
priced thousands of dollars less than some systems. Icw-cost
“Pay-As-You-Grow” financing readily available!
