National Conservation Tillage Conference Scheduled
Using surface vegetative cover
in crop production to maintain
environmental quality will be the
theme of a national conference on
conservation tillage March 28-30,
1973, in Des Moines, lowa.
The conference is being
sponsored by the Soil Con
servation Society of America in
cooperation with the American
Society of Agricultural
Engineers, American Society of
Agronomy, and National
Association of Conservation
Districts It will be held at the
Fort Des Moines Hotel
This week-old pig’s stomach is exactly this size. The
little dry feed it takes to fill this tiny “fuel tank” must
be LOADED WITH POWER!
Purina Pig Starters
give your pigs EXTRA protection
for about V2oper day
It takes mighty little dry feed and sow’s milk to fill the
tiny “fuel tank" of a baby pig from the time he’s a week
old until he's three weeks old. An average of about an
ounce a day of loaded-with-power Purina Baby Pig Chow
or Purina Early Weaning Chow is all it takes to give him
extra energy, fast growth and disease protection.
This extra protection during this critical period costs
about V 2 cent per pig per day! That’s low-cost insurance
to provide pigs with the “built-in’’ livability, the grow
and go power, offered by Purina starters.
Pigs love Purina Baby PigChowand Purina Early Weaning
Chow, too—and that’s important, for it makes no differ
ence how great a pig starter may be, if pigs won’t eat it.
Let us help you get your pigs off to a thrifty start with
Purina Baby Pig Chow or Purina Early Weaning Chow.
Stop in and see us soon.

quality.
The following session will
analyze the costs and returns of
conservation tillage systems in
humid and semihumid as well as
and and semiarid regions
A luncheon session will precede
