this year and on increase of
67 cents from the market ov
erage for September 1665. Ad
justments for milk Containing
bu'tterfat of more or less than
the 3.5 standard will be at 9
cents per tenth of a percent.
The sharp September-to-Sep
tember rise in the market
price was the result of the
combination of a 40-cent high
er Class I milk price ($6.40);
a Class II return ($4.30) that
was 94 cents above a year
ago, and a Class I utilization
rise of over 4 percentage
points to 86.61 percent.
The 86.61 percent of produc
er receipts utilized for fluid
milk purposes during Septem
ber represents the highest per
centage since October 1964.

First, Agway T s Nu-Milkerpels 16 is 100%- pelleted. This
saves you time and labor, because the pellets flow freely
in bulk bins and automated systems.
Full pelleting also allows Agway to use lower-cost (yet
high milk-producing) ingredients than the ingredients
which must be used in makings natural-textured feed. This
lowers'the cost per unit of energy or TON in

Nu-Milkerpeis contain urea as a protein
irce. Why? Urea makes high-quality protein
available in the cow’s rumen. She makes more

rpels use lignin sulfate 'as the pellet binder.
This organic material, unlike the inert day in many pellets,
actually adds feeding value to the pellet—about $1.50
worth per ton.
Agway puts into this pellet everything that is known on
the subject of how to make a dairy pellet profitable for
you. Test this statement. Compare Nu-Milkerpels’ 75
therms of milk-makingenergy, and its price, against the
energy and price of your present dairy ration.
Then put these economic facts to work for you. Order
