Combine corn in the morning, switch to beans whenever they’re
ready. John Deere’s New Generation Combines with Quik-Tatch
mounting make it easy. Give us about five minutes of your time and
we’ll show you how to mount a corn head and be ready for work.
Spare a few more minutes and we’ll drop the corn head and put on
the bean platform. While you’re here, take an inside-out tour of
a New Generation Combine...see how much more capacity and
convenience you’ll get from John Deere.
cows for good production at low cost
If you’re not among the many good local
dairymen who have started mixing
Purina Dairy Conditioner Special with
your own grain to build a research
proved dry cow ration, it can pay you to
check into this low-cost way of feeding
dry cows.
Purina Dairy Conditioner Is a 16 percent
protein ration, fortified with extra Vita
mins A and D plus phosphorus to help
guard against milk fever.
To help you save on dry cow feeding,
Purina Research recommends varying
feeding levels, depending on cow condi
tion and the quality of your roughages.
For example, if a cow is in good condi
tion and your roughages are of excellent
quality, you would feed less Purina dry
cow ration than if the cow were in only
fair condition and if the roughages were
of only fair quality.

ment of Agriculture, Harris

motion of a career staff mem
ber, A. Rudolph York, to Chief,

lars in loans to farmers in Penn
sylvania last year He expects a
larger amount next year
New authorization by Con
gress has raised the old maxi
mum of $60,000 to $lOO,OOO for
real estate loans on a farm
Also, new authorizations pro
vide for the making simultane
ously of loans with local lend
ers and Farmers Home Admin
istration holding the second
mortgage m order to enable
local lenders to provide more
credit for farmers The $35,000
loan limit for livestock, ma
chinery and supplies is not
changed.
Hallowell stated that the new
loan limit will help many farm
ers who could not get suffi
cient credit from one lendei to
finance their needs from a com
bination of lenders including
Farmers Home Administration
Such loans are made not only to
buy but to enlarge, remodel,
and develop farms with silos,
milking facilities, barn addi
tions, land fertilization, etc
They are made on a long-time
basis. Cattle, machinery and
supplies are handled by shorter
term operating loans
The objectives of the Farm
ers Home Administration in
making farmer loans are to as
sist eligible family farmers to
carry on sound and successful
operations, and to afford the
family an opportunity to have a
reasonable standard of living
Funds for the real estate loans
are derived from the sale of
guaranteed notes sold to inves
tors.
The state director invites
farm organizations, lenders, as
well as individual farmers to
contact the‘Farmers Home Ad-
Using Purina Check-R-Mix -1 ' formulas we
can build you a low-cost dry cow ration
combining Purina Dairy Conditions i
with your grain Or, if you’re feeding
low-protein roughages, it may pay you
to feed Dairy Conditioner “straight” -
just as it comes from the bag.
More and more successful area dairymen
are proving that good dry cow feeding
pays off in extra cow condition and
extra milk production in the next lacta
tion. For example, 100 to 200 pounds of
additional body weight at freshening can
pay off in 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of extra
milk during the lactation.

Dairy Conditioner Special can help pre
pare your dry cows for good production!
