Apply lime often for best results
To keep your soil neutral, liming every 2 or 3
years is recommended, because of the new
higher-analysis fertilizers being used today.

For good 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%
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.

Corn Blight Spreads ,
Buf Impact Still Minor
Instances of Southern Corn
Leaf Blight infection have been
verified in about 422 counties in
26 States, according to the
National Federal-State Informa'-
tion Center for Corn Blight.
This represents an increase of
two States—Minnesota and South
Dakota.
Reports from most States em
phasize that the overall infection
is still light, often occurring in
only a few fields within a coun
ty. The blight appears to be
further developed in southern Il
linois and southern Indiana than
in other areas Most of the new
counties reporting blight are in
lowa and northern Missouri.
Although field-to-field spread
of the disease is taking place to
a minor extent in some areas,
there is no widescale spread of
the blight. Most infection, plant
pathologists emphasize, has re
sulted from diseased debris re
maining from the 1970 crop, and
occasional crib shelling or corn
loading operations.
