FEED LETTER
I'd like to do a little exercise in math today.
Let's assume ear corn costs $50.00 per ton, a
32% natural protein supplement costs $9.00 per
hundred, molassas costs $4.00 per hundred and
Cargill C. L. S. controlled release liquid sup
plement costs $5.00 per hundred.
If we want to make a fifteen per cent protein
ration using the above ingredients, it would
cost $98.50 as here itemized;
700 pounds of 32% sup. at $9.00-cwt $63.00
1100 pounds of corn at $2.50-cwt $27.50
200 pounds of molassas at $4.00-cwt $ 8.00
$98.50
If you used Cargil C.L.S. it would cost $87.50 as
itemized here;
500 pounds of 32% sup. at $9.00-cwt $45.00
1300 pounds of corn at $2.50-cwt $32.50
200 pounds of CIS at $5.00-cwt $lO.OO
"$87.50
Of course you must add mixing costs to both
examples, and prices on all ingredients will
vary with time and location. Work it out with
the figures you pay. And if your dealer can't
help you get the benefit of Cargill CIS, we can
KINDA MAKES A BODY WONDER.
