The satisfaction that conies
tram doing a gnodjnb of farming
It’s a great feeling to know that you are the master of
your farmlands . . . that when you treat your soil right,
it will treat you right. Liming is one of the most impor
tant factors in keeping your soil in the highest produc
tive range. By raising the pH from a level below 6.0 to
6.5 or higher, you can expect to harvest .8 more tons
of alfalfa per acre, with similar increases for all other
forage and cash crops.
''
will be the principal business to
be considered at these meetings
The concept of a single board
and a single management grew
out of a study made for UDIA by
the Booz, Allen & Hamilton
management consulting firm.
After approving the concept in
principle, the UDIA Board in
structed the Executive Com
mittee to draw up plans for im
plementation for consideration
by the Board at the May meeting.
The meetings will get un
derway at 8 00 a m on Monday'
May 14, with a breakfast and
meeting of the UDIA Executive
Committee. This will be followed
by a UDIA Board luncheon and

aside for meetings of the Boards
and Executive Committees of
ADA, NDC and DRINC. Another
UDIA Board luncheon and
