FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a danyman, you know that good milk production
doesn’t just happen. It’s something you plan for by
establishing a herd with the genetic potential for good
production, then managing and feeding your cows so
they’ll pioduce up to their bred-in ability
Many successful local dairymen also plan for good pro
duction with a proven program of dry cow feeding
They need Purina Dairy Conditioner, a reseaich
proven ration to help give dry cows body condition
they need for good pioduction after they freshen.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is an extra-palatable 12%
percent piotein ration It’s foitified with vitamins A
and D plus extra phosphorus to help guard against milk
fever.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is low-cost, too, because the
amounts you feed depend on your cows’ condition and
on the quality of the roughages you feed For example,
a cow dried off in good condition being fed high-quality
roughages would require less Dairy Conditioner than
a cow in only fair condition being fed fair quality
roughages.
Drop in soon and get your free copy of the
Purina Dry Cow Program folder We’ll be glad
to show you how Purina Dairy Conditioner can
help you piepare your dry cows for good pro
duction next lactation.

overlapping and duplication of
efforts and programs.
Its objective Is to identify and
solve existing manpower prob
lems and to coordinate planning
and implementation of pro
grams of all agencies concerned
with manpower policies Effec
tive joint planning will make it
possible to avoid duplication of
program efforts and to fill gaps
in services offered.
Research on the manpower
situation in Pennsylvania has
revealed the need to:
—1) Develop “awareness”
tiaining programs for employ
ers in an effort to help them
realize the needs of individuals
from disadvantaged back
grounds. These people need re
assurance, acceptance, and mo
tivation in their job a new
and alien environment to them.
—2) Stimulate and acceler
ate training programs.
—3) Add suppoitive ser
vices in training programs that
will aid persons from minority
gioups to participate.
—4) Provide adequate faci
lities where training programs
can be conducted.
—5) Develop housing facili
ties in areas where new indus
tries are developing or old ones
expanding.
—6) Search for applicants
for state and federal training
programs.
—7) Develop counseling and
guidance in connection with
job-related programs
—8) Provide work orienta
tion needs for youth.
—9) Make Adult Basic Edu
cation programs more meaning
ful and geared to employer
needs.
—10) Provide more in-school
work-experience opportunities
for youth.
In order to tailor manpower
activities to the needs of each
locale, Secretary Jones regular
ly invites groups from specific
areas to meet with the Task
Force to discuss thier problems.
At these meetings, area rep
resentatives have an opportuni-

Van Dale’s SCF-1400 is the traveling f “ '“I
feeder to put you on the track to fast* j I
er, more profitable operations. Auto- |
matically, it delivers up to 40 tons of j
silage per hour to bunks on a single |
chain, continuous "shuttle” service, j
Feeder trough chain is No. 67 pm- I
tie (12,500 lb. strength) and drive |
chain is C-550 steel (average top j
strength of 10,000 lbs.). Interlocking, |
snap-together galvanized metal com- |
ponents reduce erection time as |
much as 50%. Suspended or floor- I
mounted, rails are mounted with Van J

ty to present what they consider
to bo their major manpower
problems, what is being done
to alleviate the problems, and
what is needed in the way of
additional resources to elimin
ate them.
Immediate action plans are
formulated that outline what
each (the community and the
state) will do to attack the prob
lems. Following the initial meet
ing, pei iodic follow-up meetings
are held to evaluate progress
made. Only through the copera
tive effoit of all governmental
agencies, industry, labor unions.
Community Action Agencies
and all others concerned with
manpower problems will we
succeed in eliminating them.

The value of good farm records
should be recognized at any time
of the year and especially, at the
close of the year’s business. Time
spent summailzing and evaluat
ing the farm records should be
time well spent for every farm
operator. Income tax returns re
quire accurate records and these
same recods should be utilizd to
plan future farm enterprises
Not only do good records quick
ly tell us profit from loss, but
they also should be used as a
guide for expansion, or for diop
ping one of the farm enterprises
