Beacon Golden Test Rations
C.A.F. The Cow Acceptability Factor
- determines how much grain your cows
will eat. Beacon Golden Test milking rations
are partially pelleted, contain a proven level
of crimped corn for extra palatability. Even
finicky eaters clean these feeds up well, re
sponding with higher milk production than
when fed less palatable feeds.
The Cow Acceptability Factor helps get
more grain into your cows in critical periods
of milk production. Call us today for Beacon

Agronomist Cautions
Against Improper
Fertilizer Application
University of Illinois
agronomist, L F Welch,
speaking at the annual meetings
of the American Society of
Agronomy, said that the use of
fertilizer in crop production
today is a must if we are to
produce adequate supplies of
food at a reasonable cost to the
consumer
The soil is one of our most
valuable natural resources which
must be conserved and main
tained in a productive state for
eons to come Welch said the
American farmer often treated
the soil harshly in earlier years
as it was exploited of nutrients
necessary for plant growth.
The earlier trend ot nutrient
depletion of soil is being reversed
today, he said, and fertilizer
made it all possible Fertilizer is
added to supply the nutrients
removed from the soil in har
vested crops and to restore part
of that removed in earlier years
The use of fertilizer has
resulted in restoring soil
productivity to the extent that
many soils will produce more
food today than when they were
first plowed by our forefathers
By increasing crop yields with
fertilizer, less land is required to
produce a given amount of food
freeing land for parks, goli
courses, homes, and othei
nonagncultural uses
But. Welch cautioned, fertilizer
cannot be used with reckless
abandon Some of the nutrients in
fertilizer may degrade water
quality Research is underway to
determine fertilizer management
practices that will permit society
to continue to reap the benefits of
increased food production
without impanng the qualtiy of
our water
