Using Yesterday’s
Methods To Build
Tomorrow’s Beef?
Are you profiting from the latest rumen nutri
tion findings? They prove conclusively that
you can build beef faster, with less feed, on
"protein variety" instead of the old fashioned
"single protein" supplement (such as soy
bean meal). Wayne Beef Balancers are in
tune with the times. Let their appetite-stimu
lating ingredients and tested, protein-varied
contents, with stilbestrol, aureomycln and
cost-cutting urea, get your beef to market
faster. Formulated to fill your individual feed

County Farmers Assoc
A group of 10 Lancaster County
Farmers attended a
congressional tour sponsored by
the Pennsylvania Farmers
Association in Washington this
week. The group visited
Congressman Ed Eshelman in
his office, and attended a
legislative banquet with him.
Topics of discussion were the
Sisk Bill, which deals with
marketing of agricultural
products, and the Egg Ad
justment Control Act. Other
topics of concern were farm labor
and pesticide legislation.
James Martin, Lancaster
County Farmers Association
secretary said, the Association is
also against the Dent Williams
Bill which would raise the
minimum hourly wage. The
Association believes that raising
the minimum hourly wage would
take more people out of the labor
market and put them on welfare.
Also they informed the
Congressman that we need
permanent legislation con
LIMING PAYS 111 BAKER’S
Afi^rIIMESTONE
PUS lit
Liming pays off in healthier soil,
better crops, stronger and more
productive animals. In fact, it has
been estimated that each $1 in
vested in limestone returns from $3
to $lO in bigger and better yields.
Baker’s agricultural limestone pays
off best because it does more. It
sweetens soil to reduce acidity and
raise pH level, and it also adds vital
magnesium. Both are important to
make sure that your crops can make
full use of the fertilizers you apply.
Take care of your land, and your
land will take care of you. Choose
the brand of Baker’s agricultural
limestone that meets your needs.

Started Chicks Down
The broiler-fryer industry in
Pennsylvania had a particularly
slow week in the starting of new
chicks on the feeding cycle, but
all other indications in the latest
report from the Crop Reporting
Service show that the Com
monwealth’s poultry raisers are
steadily increasing their
production.
Placement of broiler chicks in
the most recent ‘weekly report
totaled 1,213,000. This is down six
per cent from a week earlier and
down four per cent from the same
period a year ago. However, the
10 week average continues to be

same period last year.
Earlier in the chicken
production cycle the outlook is
much brighter as the setting of
eggs to be hatched for broiler
chicks was 1,997,000, up 10 per
cent from the proceeding week
and 22 per cent over the same
week a year earlier.
Figures from the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture show
that the state is ranked 12th in the
country in the production of
broilers, but is fifth in total egg
production with hens laying
nearly 3.3 billion eggs annually.^
