Penn State
Scientists at Pennsylvania
State University are developing
ways to increase and improve
livestock production without
polluting the environment.
The approach is to re-cycle
animal wastes as livestock feed,
according to Dr. B. R.
Baumgardt, head of the
Department of Animal Science.
Both animal wastes and most
horticultural wastes can be
safely and effectively fed to
cattle and sheep, Dr Baumgardt
stated recently at an open house
held by Harvestore in Dillsburg.
Dried poultry waste can be re
cycled through cattle and sheep
or can be used as a source of
protein replacement, he added.
Waste paper and wood by
products, while not high in
nutritive value, can be used as
roughage in rations for cattle and
sheep In some cases, animal
wastes are being re-cycled
directly to give the animal’s
digestive enzymes a “second
crack" at nutrients they missed
the first time around
Research will be continued to
develop improved techniques of
waste management, which Dr.
Baumgardt termed a major
challenge facing animal
agriculture
August N.Y.-N.J.
Milk Price Is *6.27
A uniform farm price of $6 27
per hundredweight (46 5 quarts;
will be paid dairy farmers for
August milk deliveries to pool
handlers in the New York-New
Jersey milkshed, A J. Pollard,
market administrator has an
nounced
They got $5 92 in July and $6 25
in August 1970
The butterfat differential was
set at eight cents lor each tenth of
a pound of fat above or below 3.5
per cent
Dr Pollard reported that
receipts from producers were up
9,572,013 pounds to 831,497,862
pounds compared with the same
month last year Sales of fluid
milk products (Class I), for
which handlers paid $717 per
hundredweight, fell 3,092,250
pounds to 417,374,700 pounds and
made up 50 2 per cent of the pool
There was a decrease of 1,285 to
25,107 in the number of dairymen
in the pool, he said, but average
daily deliveries per producer
increased 63 pounds to 1,068
pounds
The number of dairy farmers
with bulk tanks, however, rose
1,458 to 18,383 Receipts from
tank producers increased
59,426.518 pounds to 700,340,742
pounds, or from 78 to 84 2 per cent
of the pool
A total of 368,767,248 pounds of
tank milk—s 2 7 per cent of tank
receipts-was used as Class II and
subject to the transportation
credit, which amounted to
$368,767 29
August’s pool was based on
reports from 136 handlers, a
figure not comparable with last
year, the administrator ex
plained The number of bulk tank
units dropped by 18 to 217
The farm value of pool receipts
totaled $52,388,383 73, Dr Pollard
said This includes all dif
ferentials paid under the orders
All prices quoted are for milk of
3 5 per cent butterfat received in
the 201-210 mile zone from New
York City
Measure Annual Tree Growth
Check annual growth of your
trees to determine how well you
are caring for them, says Craig S.
Oliver, Extension Ornamental
horticulturist at The Penn
sylvania State University With
adequate water, fertilizer and
root growth, younger trees should
show from 9 to 12 inches of new
twig growth a year Mature trees
w ill produce from 6 to 9 inches of
new growth annually If your
trees are making average or
better growth, you’re doing a
good job.
Scientists Study Ways to
As of now, aerobically digested
soft garbage from municipal
sewage treatment plants is being
studied as a potential animal feed
source.
A second challenge facing
animal agriculture, he said, will
be to devise complete systems for
an expanded livestock feedlot
industry. This should include
systems to handle recycling of
horticultural and animal wastes
as well as methods to utilize
conventional forage and grain
crops in varying rations. Im
proved waste disposal systems
for feedlots will be
needed.

animals is a third challenge, he
pointed out. In all probability,
there will continue to be an 8 to 10
dollar trucking cost per animal
from midwestern feed lots to
eastern packers. A proportionate
charge exists for shipping car
casses. Such shipping costs
should serve as a stimulus for
producing more feeder calves in
Pennsylvania, Dr. Baumgardt
suggested.
A fourth challenge, he ob
served, is to evolve more readily
available financing systems
tailored to animal production. He
urged bankers and similar
persons to learn more about the
profit potential for animal
agriculture.

DUNCAN CORN CRIB
Rods Slide Quickly Into Place

Galvanized Mesh!
NOW, you can own a per
manent, lifetime, all steel
mesh corn crib for less than
the cost of many temporary
cribs ... have all the strength
and anti-rust characteristics
the galvanized mesh can have.
Using the Interlocking joint
panel connections you quickly
hook together and lock with
rods... creating an unbroken
cylinder of 2 or 5-gauge steel
mesh with the ability to stand
nressures and strains far in
excess of any which may be
put upon it under normal use.
The simple “J-bolt” method
of attaching the steep roof to
the mesh uses the inherent
strength of each to reinforce
the other. A generous 6 indies
of overhang has been provided
for greater protection. In
terlocking sheets of heavy
gauge metal give the "Rod-
