For goml production next lactation,
FEED PURINA
DAIRY CONDITIONER
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 Vz
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 dry cows for good pro
duction next lactation.

State Vegetable Production Up,
Processed Tomatoes Set Record
The combined production in
Pennsylvania of five vegetables
for the fresh market and eight
for processing is estimated at
290,800 tons for 1970, up six per
cent from last year, but 11 per
cent below 1968.
The fresh market harvest was
up three per cent from a yeai
ago. The five fresh market vege
tables are snap beans, cabbage,
sweet corn, tomatoes and straw
berries.
The processor’s production
was seven per cent above a year
ago, but 17 per cent below the
big 1968 crop, which was the
largest in 10 years The process
ing vegetables are snap beans,
sweet corn, tomatoes, lima
beans, cabbage, cucumbers,
peas and spinach.
The most prominent yield
change was that of tomatoes for
processing, up from the 1969
yield of 15 0 tons to a record
19 87 tons this year. This is the
highest yield on record, and
the third highest yield in the
Nation this year with only Cali
fornia and Ohio recording high
er yields. The 1970 record yield
surpasses the previous record
yield of 17.7 tons in 1968.
Fresh market growers receiv
ed $lO 2 million for their crops
this year, up slightly from the
$lO 1 million received last year
Value at the processing plant
door of the production for pro
cessing was 8 8 million or six
per cent above a year earlier.
The early growing season for
most of the Commonwealth was
mild and wet, causing some
planting and field work to be
delayed; however, growing con
ditions were generally favor
able with rainfall near to slight
ly above normal over most of
the State.
Cloudy and rainy weather
