• DAIRY MAN (Continued from Pace 9) would not be without. “If you don’t get your calvei started 'well, you may as well get out of the dairy business, ’’ he says. And obviously the calves at Kleffers are well cared for. At present, there are 180 cows milking with 30 dry and the rest of the total heifers and calves. After the fire they sold their milking herd so the present i herd includes 160 first calf heifers, some of them coming in with second calf. Grant says it was quite an episode last sum mer milking 160 first calf heif ers; doing field work and build ing the barn. But he still would rather work like that than be laid up with infected tonsils like he was when interviewed Tues day.

Provision for heating and refrigeration makes it possible to hold the bananas at 54 degrees at all times. When the bananas arrive in this coun try, they're transferred to re frigerated train cars or trucks for the trip to market. All this tender loving care pays off in better quality bananas.
