imports of Emmenthaler cheese,
Gruyere-process cheese, and the
miscellaneous tariff category of
“Other” cheese. The pricebreak
will increase from 62 cents to 69
cents per pound f.o.b. country of
origin.
The change results from an
increase in the Commodity Credit
Corporation’s purchase price for
Cheddar cheese which was also
announced today. Effective
March 15,1973 the CCC purchase
price was 62 cents per pound.
Under the provisions of
Presidential Proclamation 4138

GOOD CALF GROWTH
PAYS OFF
/fv?
WHEN HEIFERS START MILKING
Good solid calf growth can be put on fast at low cost.
And it can pay off in early freshening and good produc
tion fight from the first lactation.
Many dairy men have proved to themselves that the
Purina Calf Growing Program can help develop heifers
that freshen between 22 and 24 months and repay
their growing costs in the early months of lactation.
Here's the Purina Calf Growing Program:
First 3 days—Colostrum
4 days thru 4 or 5 weeks—Purina Nursing Chow®—a
milk-base milk replacer fortified with vitamins and
minerals.
4 days thru 2 months—Purina Calf Startena®—a pal
atable calf ration with a research-proved energy
protein balance for good calf growth.
3 thru 6 months—Purina Calf Growena®—a 16% ration
that provides a high palatable level of protein that
fast growth demands. Calf Growena is fortified with
and minerals.
At end of 2 months—Good quality hay free-choice.
Prove to yourself that it can pay to grow calves on the
Purina program. Stop in and talk to us—at the sign of
the familiar red and white Checkerboard.
