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.

Cows 9 percent, feeders 18 per

downward on initial session in a
reflection of lowered carcass
quotations late previous week,
heifers regained part of decline
on later sessions but steers
showed little recovery. Buyers
quite selective as they sought to
avoid cattle which showed any
indication of “Wastiness”. Best
steer demand centered strongly
on High-Good to Prime 1000-1125
pounds 2-3 as a consequence'of
the wide price range on carcass
beef. Some cattle were carrying
moderate amount of mud as a
result of prolonged rains.
