DISC HARROWSI
When a 2200 takes a pass at a plowed field, there isn’t
a clod or lump left for a weed to hide under. When you
spray, every inch of ground gets full-coverage herbicide
treatment. Your crops have far less weed competition.
The 2200 cuts level across its full width one-piece
construction in the gangs and frame account for that;
and for strength that shrugs of! the jars of heavy soil.'
It also provides the weight for spool-deep penetration.
Stop in and see the 2200 by AUis-Chalmers it's ditt
harrowing at its level best.

Animal Science Still Vital
To Human Health & Welfare
STILLWATER, Okla., July 30
—ln spite of recent popular
trends, research and good teach
ing in the animal sciences are
no less important for the health
and welfare of the people of the
world than that being done “in
other areas which may be con
sidered more glamorous by
some,” according to a prominent
animal scientist
Dr. R. H. Dutt, University of
Kentucky, Lexington, retiring
President of the American So
ciety of Animal Science, told
members of the Society it is
their responsibility “to assure
that young people are being
trained to meet the challenges
present in the animal science
area.” He spoke at the Awards
Banquet, recently, during the
60th annual meeting of the So
ciety, held on the campus of Ok
lahoma State University.

“With the present emphasis
on publish or perish in colleges
and universities, the young re
searcher will quickly learn that
more papers can be published
from results dealing with lab
oratory animals or from the test
tube than is possible from large
animals,” Dr Dutt observed “If
we allow our students in anima'
science to gain the impression
that all is known from the study
of one or two convenient lab
oratory species, then who will be
working with livestock to seek
solutions to production prob
lems?”
He said animal husbandmen
have significantly increased pro
ductivity of pork, beef, milk,
poultry, eggs and other products
of animal origin in the face of
massive and urgent world food
problems. He stated that contin
ued improvement in the efficien
cy of animal protein production
depends upon a better under
standing of “the interaction of
animals and their environment ”
The University of Kentucky
research scientist pointed to the
importance of relating “the kind
of product we wish to produce
and the kind of environment in
which livestock will live ”
“The current interest now be
ing aroused by comparative
studies of efficiency of meat pro
duction by beef and dairy cattle
indicates some degree of willing
ness to broaden our perspec
tive,” he stated “Results of such
comparisons may not be com
pletely congruous with our tra
ditional ideas of beef production
and the popular conception of
the conformation of a beef ani
mal However, if we are serious
in our desire for more efficient
production, we may need to
show a willingness to accept
change.
“There are still many areas
where knowledge is lacking foi
improving efficiency of livestock
production. The field of animal
behavior has been relatively un
explored and offers virgin tei
nlory for the researcher The
trend toward mechanization of
operations and confined rearing
may significantly influence be
havior, which in turn could af
feet growth and reproductive ef
flciency.”
