What’s more, they offer mixing concentrates specially fortified with the vitamins and minerals in which home grains are deficient. The Beacon dairy formulas for home grown dairy rations are proven in use on thousands of farms. Dairymen consistently report substantial increases in milk production after switching to Beacon. What’s more important, they are equally consistent in reporting increased income over feed cost. And... Beacon Advisors working with us are helping dairymen program the feed for each herd. No hit-or-miss feeding program here, but a care fully detailed analysis that takes into account in herited potential, stage of lactation, quality of roughage, butterfat level and other factors. It means maximum value for your feeding dollar. GEHMAN FEED MILL, INC. Denver I. B. GRAYBILL & SON Strasburg EARL SAUDER, INC. New Holland BEACON O. KENNETH McCracken Manheim BOMBERGER'S STORE Elm H. JACOB HOOBER Intercourse than the average for other U.S. cows. The Good Earth Like everything else, the good earth is as good as what you put into it—time, planning and above all fertilizer. Many of the large food produce firms have been using computers to improve crop quality and output for some time. At H. J. Heinz Company, computers are being used for nutrient analysis in 10 States. Using input such as soil analy sis, fertilization history, crop ro tation, and crops yield goals, computers print-out soil require ments almost instantly. The re- sult—bigger, better and redder tomatoes. And more of them. Working with W. R. Grace’s OLIVER 437 Mower/Conditioner W Rugged, totally new mower/conditioner.

HERSHEY & SONS EQUIPMENT CO. & SON Hickory Hill, Pa. R. D. 2, Ephrata, Pa. Manheim Washington Research Center, CUC analysts and programmers developed a statistical proced ure which provides a quality control check on the manufac ture of fertilizers. You’ve seen ingredients and percentages listed on the labels of processed foods available in supermarkets. How do you know these data are accurate? To the crop farmer profit depends on getting maximum crop yield from minimum investment in seed, fertilizer, and labor. To him, the question of label reli ability is-one of economic sur vival. Almost 200 fertilizer manufac turers and State agencies sub mit results of chemically anal- s a yzed fertilizer sample* .to the CUC developed computer pro gram. Each sample is graded with all others, using the same methods of chemical analysis. Results arc reported back to manufacturers and State agen cies to permit appropriate ac tion regarding the accuracy of manufacturing processes and testing programs. It Ain't Chicken Feed “If it ain't got corn or soybean meal in it it ain't chicken feed.” Many of the old timers will tell you that you can’t grow healthy chickens without these ingredients. But experiments with birds at the University of Maryland proved you could. What was the combination of feeds used? A mixture made up mostly of ground wheat and blood meal. And it took a com puter to come up with it. Poultry scientists asked the (Continued on Page 25) -foot swath n
