Former Lancaster County Man Reports From Australia

A Special Repoit
I was beginning to think that
the di ought in Queensland
would nevei be bioken but this
past week we had about six
inches of lain, so I learned that
it can get wet heie (Toowoom
ba, Queensland)
Some areas repoited the best
rainfall in 10 yeais, and even
had minoi flooding in several
towns 100 to 200 miles west of
here
It came at a time when most
of the summei crops aie being
planted so if we get reasonable
follow-up lams it should insure
For good production next lactation,
FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
As a danyrnan, you know that good milk production
doesn’t just happen It’s something you plan for by
establishing a held with the genetic potential for good
pioduction, then managing and feeding youi cows so
they’ll pioduce up to then bied-in ability.
Many successful local danymen also plan fot good pro
duction with a pi oven piogiam of cliy cow feeding.
They need Puuna Dany Conditioner a reseaich
proven lation to help give diy cows body condition
they need for good pioduction after they fieshen
Purina Dany Conditioner is an extia-palatable 12%
percent pi olein lation It’s foilified with vitamins A
and D plus exti a phosphorus to help guai d against milk
fever
Purina Dany Conditional is low-cost, too, because the
amounts you feed depend on youi cows’ condition and
on the quality of the loughages you feed Foi example,
a cow dued off in good condition being fed high-quality
roughages would lequne less Dany Conditioner than
a cow in only fan condition being fed fair quality
roughages
Diop in soon and get your fiee copy of the
Puuua Di> Cow Piogum foldei We’ll be glad
to show yon how Punna Dany Conditioner can
help you piepaie yom diy cows for good pro
duction neu lactation

to Japan last yeai and inci eas
ing sales aie anticipated to that
country this coming yeai
The sale of beel to Japan is
also on the upswing and the
Japanese seem to prefer giain
fed beef which is just staitmg
to develop here Most of the
beef here aie fattened on grass
and gram ciops and have equal
value to cattle fed in feed lots I
can believe that this will change
soon
Barn Wrecked
During a seveie wind and
thunder storm on November 18
the bay barn on my farm was
badly wrecked It was 86 feet
long and 60 feet wide and about
two thuds of the roof was blown
off and scattered for 200 feet
A man I had working there
had just left the bain a few
minutes before it was blown
down
The insmance should cover
