MAKE HIMSHOWHIB CARD
Not his business card. We hope you already have
that. Bui your Beacon Advisor has a card that's head
ed "Beacon's Grain Feeding Tables". They are based
on the latest nutritional knowledge and have valuable
information to help you make more milk at the most
economical feed cost.
It's not a shotgun approach. Each table is particular
ised according to

5 Levels of Hoy Equivalent
Dry Cows
First Calf Heifers
Fresh Cows
Late Lactation Cows
Your Beacon Advisor uses these tables to help you
get the greatest feeding value from your roughage
and to recommend the most profitable level of grain
feeding for your herd. He can use them even more
effectively if you also take advantage of Beacon's for

Many Factors Can
Affect Herbicides
Of nil the factors affecting
chemical weed control, soil
moisture at lime of application
is probably the least understood,
savs Dr. John Meade, weed con
trol specialist at Rutgers Um
\ ersity
Meade told grown s at the sec
ond annual Delmarva Soybean
Meeting that, generally speak
ing, if the soil is dry enough to
plant beans, there will be no ef
fect on the herbicide. "In most
instances, drj soil does not
cause problems with herbicides
unless soil temperature is ex
tremely high or unless the dry
condition persists set erai days,"
said Meade
Soil texture often determines
the weed killing ability and the
safety of the herbicide For ex
ample, water will carry herbi
cides much deeper into sandy
soils than into clay soils In
some instances, the soybean
seedling may absorb enough
herbicide to kill the plant or
at least stunt its growth One of
the reasons some herbicides
don’t kill soybeans is because
it stays above the soybean seed
Meade cited nutsedge, jimson
weed, giant foxtail, \el\et leaf
and bindweed as some of the
most troublesome weeds facing
soybean growers Some of these
weeds even defy control, he said

BRANDON
SILOS
To afford the unequaled
Brandon 10-year guarantee
for today’s larger diameter
silos, the Brandon Silo Cor
poration has engineered a
new larger and heavier
“Sine-Wave” corrugated
stave. The new Brandon cor
rugated stave is the most per
fect and durable silo stave
that is possible to make
Lasting beauty incurred in
the new “Sine-Wave” corru
gated stave by the incorpor
ating of a special blend ce
ment. It is unnecessary to
“White-Coat” the silo for ap
pearance. Your new Brandon
silo will be distinguished and
permanent.
