if you have help, there’s a lot of time and
labor involved in getting the milk into
the storage tank,
An Agway around-the-barn system
reduces that labor, saves some of that
time, and makes that twice-a-day chore
much easier. Just plug into the pipeline
at each stanchion and that’s it.
Your milk is pumped into the bulk tank
automatically. It gets there faster—and
cools down fast to hold all its quality.

No expensive rebuilding or remodeling.
Agway has designed and installed
hundreds of around-the-bam systems to
fit most every barn situation.
Invite an Agway farm systems specialist
to take a look at how an around-the-bam
pipelme system could fit into your setup.
He’ll show you what can be done, how
it can be done, what it could mean to you
and your family.
Cut milking time with the gende Sta-Rite
Full View Milkers. You can see the flow,
watch each quarter milk out, reduce the
danger of overmilking and its
profit-robbing effects on herd health.
Replace an erratic or noisy vacuum pump
with a Sta-Rite Full-Vac unit. It assures
stable milking vacuum for fast, complete,
gende milking that’s easy on udders.
And these units are really quiett
Install a Sta-Rite 900 A Series Milkhouse
Panel. It comes ready to connect to your

$667 million, an increase of $127
million over the previous fiscal
year, Ronald N. Goddard,
executive vice president and
general manager told the Agway
members. Volume increases
were registered by almost every
operating division with feed sales
accounting for about half the
gain.
Goddard told the press Agway,
untd very recently, was confident
of being able to supply its
members and householders who
were customers last year, with
heating oil and other petroleum
products. However the new war
in the Middle East ’’means we’re
not sure of supplies,” Goddard
said.
Although supplies of fertilizer
Snd feed are tight, Goddard said
Agway would be able to supply its
members. “Our challenge is to
help keep farmers in business,”
he said.
Goddard also revealed that he
had sent a telegram previous to
the opening session of the annual
meeting to the President asking
Review, Update Homeowner's
Insurance Periodically
Is your home adequately in
sured? Chances are it is not. A
survey by American Mutual
Insurance Alliance reveals that
over half of all single family
homeowners don’t carry enough
insurance to protect their
property fully.
Inflation is a common cause for
inadequate coverage, according
to Extension home management
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University. A house fully
insured ten years ago may now
be isured for only half its value
unless the amount of insurance
has been increased.
The value of your home also
may have Increased if you’ve
made home improvements,

controls which he charged with
aggravating the problems of
shortages and inflation.
While Goddard foresaw in
flation and shortages creating
problems in the year ahead, he
predicted “a pretty good year for
Agway.”
Grain prices, he forecast,
would be “more than two years
ago but less than they have been
in the past eight to 10 months.”
Goddard told the company’s
stockholders that although higher
food prices may appear to be
inflationary, improved prices to
farmers are a long overdue
adjustment.
A colorful highlight of the
Agway meeting was the Farm
Show, featuring Agway products
and animals from its research
center plus all the giveaways and
holiday atmosphere of a state
fair.
An address by Dr. Earl Butz,
U. S. Secretary of Agriculture,
was featured during the final
morning session.
even panel an existing room, it’s
wise to increase your insurance
policy. Then too, replacement
costs have increased with
changes in supply and rising
labor costs.
In any case, the Extension
specialists recommend that
insurance coverage equal the
market value of your home minus
the value of the lot and the
foundation. To get payment in
full for losses, have coverage of
no less than 80 percent of
replacement cost.
Many insurance companies
offer homeowner’s policies with a
built-in inflation guard provision
that increases coverage at
regular intervals. If your policy
doesn’t contain this provision,
you may want to consider it.
