Manure Worth
$2.00 Per Ton
On The Field
One thing that’s pretty hard
to ignore around any farm
with livestock is manure. And
getting rid of it used to be an
onerous chore. In times past,
farmers had to stand on the
backs of wagons filled with
manure and throw it off with
pitchforks. The task got easier
In 18C5 with the invention of
a horse-drawn mechanical
spreader. Needless to say, me
chanical spreading caught on
quickly.
Manure is well, at’s there.
It must be gotten rid of. Some
farmers feel, “Well, gotta do
something with it Might as
well spread the stuff.” So they
do. Grudgingly, they load their
manure spreaders, drive to the
fields and unload. “It’s a nuis
ance,” they think “Sure, it’s
good for the soil. But with to
day’s fertilizers, who needs it?”
The answer, many experts
agree, is that manure is need
ed by the smart farmer who
knows manure’s value, who is
f arming for top profits, who
wants to build his landpower.
The more landpower a farmer
has, the better his farm, the
more crops he grows, the moie
money he makes And manure
is a terrific landpower booster.
In fact, manure is one of the
most underestimated money
makers ever One ton of fresh
manure is equivalent to 100
pounds of 10-5-10 fertilizer
which sells for $2 50 Besides
its fertilizer equivalent, mamue
has values harder to measure
in dollars and cents It im
proves soil’s water absorption
and water holding capacity and
reduces erosion, crusting and
clodding. Trace elements con
tained in manure help seed
germination and root growth.
All these properties build land
power and help grow bigger,
healthier and more profitable
crops.
New Holland Machine re
search shows that with a 130-
bushel spreader, it costs about
$ 50 to spread a ton of manure.
Subtracting the $5O from the
$2 50 value gives a net worth
of $2 00 per ton of spread ma
nure Spreading 900 tons a
year would be about the same
as spreading $lBOO worth ot
fertilizer
In an aveiage year, it is
generally assumed that one
dollar foi fertilizer produces
two dollars in exti a crop yields
This means that 900 tons of
manure equivalent to $lBOO
worth of commercial fertilizer,
will pioduce extia ciop yields
valued at $3600
Who needs it’ What farmer
needs $3600 9 Knock on any

Penalties Stiffened
For Hunting On
Posted Land Areas
The Game Commission this
week called to the attention of
sportsmen recent amendments
to the Penal Code concerning
hunting or fishing on “posted”
property without pei mission
from the owner or peison in
charge
The new amendments pro
vide for a penalty of $25 to
$lOO and possible revocation
of hunting and fishing licenses
for one year for any person
convicted of failure to remove
himself from posted land upon
request of the owner or person
in charge, or who removes him
self from the land and re-en
ters for the purpose of hunt
ing or fishing
Under the amendments, pos
ters warning against hunting
without first obtaining permis
sion shall have the same force
and effect as “No Trespassing”
posters. The penalty, is $lO
upon conviction. .
