Dr, Schrader’s paper presents
a unique concept of computeriz
ed egg trading. The proposed
plan would, according to the
author, automate much of the
clerical work in buying and sell
ing eggs. This would in turn
“improve the level of knowledge
of the entire industry and reduce
the possibility of misleading the
currently less informal partici
pant. With the improved infor
mation, small firms would share
some of the advantages that now
accrue to large firms because of
their size.
“Physical efficiency would be
promoted through elimination of
unnecessary cross hauling and
through quality improvement be
cause of timely action. Transpor
tation costs may be lowered as a
result of providing a market for
egg transportation services ”

For good production next lactation,
As a dairyman, 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 produce 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 research
proven ration to help give dry cows body condition
they need for good production after they freshen.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is an extra-palatable 12%
percent protein ration. It’s fortified 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 prepare your diy cows for good pro
duction next lactation.

Protect Flowers
From Cold Snap
Spring flowers are anxious to
start blooming, but a cold snap
might take some of the bloom
off if they grow too much too
soon.
Early warm periods tend to
stimulate tulips, narcissus and
hyacinth into active growth be
fore the danger of frost is past,
says Dr. Francis R Gouin, Uni
versity of Maryland extension
horticulturist.
If not protected, tins new
growth can be damaged by late
frosts. This is not true for

snowdrops .winter aconites and
crocus, however.
If the weatherman comes out
with a hard frost warning af
ter your tulips, narcissus or hya
cinths have started to grow,
cover them with a loose mulch
ing material such as tanbark,
fir bark, straw, pine needles or
even peat moss.
As you are applying the
mulch, look for bulbs that have
been “heaved” out of the
ground by freezing and thawing.
Gently push these bulbs back
into the soil so that their roots
won’t dry out
After the danger of frost is
past, Dr Gouin says, you can
remove the mulch or leave it.
Whatever mulch you use will
act as an insulator to protect
the tender shoots from freezing
and thawing.
These are yearly problems
you can avoid by applying a
good mulch in your garden this
fall after growth stops. Dr,
Gouin concludes
