SOLAIR SYSTEMS
WE'RE INTERESTED IN ECOLOGY!
With our completely covered lots and a sun roof
with an open peak, ram water does not enter the bay
area and maximum evaporation of animal liquids is
obtained. An “all-drained” floor system is installed
and a curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be
scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading system
By preventing manure run-off the surrounding area is
not polluted.
Yes, since your urban neighbors and government
fathers are interested in ecology, we are ready to help
you build a system that will put you ahead on the
pollution problem.
And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems results in
less bacteria action and fewer odors.

Scientists Report On Hybrid Barley
Malt, an essential ingredient to
the brewing and distilling in
dustries as well as being used in
many foods, is experiencing a
rapidly expanding demand At
the present time most malt is
made from spring barley
Research reported at the an
nual meetings of the American
Society of Agronomy in Miami
Beach by two Pennsylvania State
University agronomists, Robert
P Pfeifer and A Akyurek, in
dicates that the solution for this

expanding demand is to develop
winter barley with satisfactory
malting quality.
Malting operations consume
130 million bushels of barley
annually If projected needs hold
true, the figure will rise to 240
million bushels annually by 1985
Pfeifer and Akyurek, through
their research directed at
meeting this malt demand, have
found that it is possible to develop
winter barley through selective
breeding
The desired quality is attained
by selecting pure lines that
produce fine-sized kernels In
addition, they must have a
relatively high amount of soluble
protein
This knowledge will help plant
breeders to develop varieties of
winter barley for malt production
and thus meet the rising demand
The Value of
Field Borders
Field Borders not only provide
cover for wildlife, they also give
protection against soil erosion
and aid in controlling insects
Field borders give wildlife a
place to hide provide travel

What’s New
In Banking
The Federal Reserve has a new
plan going into effect early in 1973
to move checks faster within
large geographic areas In each
of the 12 Federal Reserve areas,
computerized check clearing
centers are being developed to
process checks overnight The
transaction record will go back to
the depositor’s bank and be
subtracted from his account the
next day after the check is
cashed As a result of this super
fast check clearing, depositors
will have to be sure they have
adequate money already
deposited to cover the checks
they write
An innovation in checks is the
picture check - one with a pretty
picture of mountains lakes, etc
Also, one can now get a close-up
unretouched photograph of the
account owner on the check
These are useful in places where
the check writer must establish
identification to cash checks
They would be most useful in
urban areas and with people who
move or travel
lanes and offer variety in wildlife
habitat In lact, natural held
borders contain several species
of vegetation which provide the
variety of iood and cover types
the wildlife demands
By allowing turnrows and
fencerow's to grow up in natural
vegetation or by planting held
borders, a farmer can hold his
soil in place during heavy raim
and wind This is true on even a
very slight slope
Also, research has shown that
field borders provide homes lot
predators oi insect pests
Examples include songbirds
spiders and shrews Some helptul
insects such as the pray mg
mantis, and ceitain species of
wasps also destroy insect pests
