genuine And the performance
has so far been fairly impressive
Hess conducts the class in
formally, giving the wheelers and
dealers most of the period to
decide what they’re going to do
this week All eyes are on the
proiection screen, and all minds
are trying to puzzle out the
subtelties of unknowable markets
moving in the unforseeable
future “I’m gonna sell potatoes
and buy chickens ”
“I’m staying with eggs because
I made $350 dollars this week.”
“Hogs look good They look
real good ”
“I’m never gonna figure out
potatoes ”
“I made over $3OO in cattle
futures ”
“1 lost 80 bucks ”
“I made $1513 so far Hey, Mr
Hess, I made $1513 so far'”
Towards the end of the class,
Hess takes over, congratulates
the profit makers, consoles the
losers, and lokingly tells one
How Purina’s Dairy Beef Program
can make your
Dairy Calves Worth More
You may have a dollar figure in mind,
but chances are, you’re selling him short.
If you haven’t looked into Purina’s Dairy
Beef Growing Program, you’re probably
shorting your dairy operation of extra
income, too.
The Purina Dairy Beef Program can in
crease the value of bull calves by growing
them for dairy beef. Dairy steers on the
Purina Dairy Beef Program can be grown
and finished economically for the heavy
slaughter market, because they put on
low cost gains and produce the good lean
cuts which customers today demand.
Let us show you how the little extra
investment in the Purina Dairy Beef Pro
gram can boost your total income from
your cow herd, land and facilities. You
already have most of what you need to
boost the value of your dairy bull calves
by finishing them as dairy beef. All you
need to get started is a little information
from us on Purina’s Dairy Beef Growing
Program. Stop by and see us soon.

student maybe he’d better stick
to fixing tractors
Asked if he’s going to grade
students on how much paper
profits they make, Hess said, “I
haven’t quite figured out how I’ll
grade everybody I can’t grade
them on how much they make,
because there’s so much luck
involved.”
So far, bouyed primarily by
rocketing quotes in hog futures,
nearly everyone of the 13
students in the class has made
money Highest total so far is
$1513 profit This week there were
four profit figures that topped
$lOOO, and another four over $BOO.
All the students have been
trading in hogs, nine have been in
both the cattle and egg markets
and eight have been dealing in
potatoes.
Instead of throwing away
old sink-top dish drainers,
place them on several thick
nesses of old newspapers
and place wet boots and
rubbers in them to drain.
