She can't afford to eat hay.
And you can't afford to feed it.
If she is under two months of age, a dairy replacement
heifer should have no hay whatsoever in her ration Hay is
too difficult for her underdeveloped rumen to digest Hay
doesn’t have the nutrition required for proper growth and
development, it takes up rumen space that should be filled
with a high quality feed such as Purina Calf Startena®
No a very young dairy replacement heifer can’t afford
the shortcomings of hay And neither can you if building
maximum milk production is your goal
Would you want to jeopardize Calf Startena benefits’’
When fed as recommended, Calf Startena provides a “just
right” balance of nutrients Its low-fiber, high-energy
formula is more easily digested, and at the same time it
stimulates papillary development in the rumen In addition,
improved growth and feed efficiency are helped by a
proven antibiotic additive
Your Purina dealer has some mighty interesting facts
about the superior performance of Calf Startena, including
test results which show a 19 percent faster growth rate for
heifers fed a hay-free ration Be sure to see your Purina
dealer and this important information before you start
that next group of replacements
Another product to help insure
your future in the dairy business.

Offices
struct six additional offices
in Berks, Lancaster and
York Counties during 1974.
In late October of 1973, the
bank became the only bank
outside of Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh to establish an
‘‘Off-shore” banking office.
This office is in Geroge
Town, capital of the Grand
Cayman Islands in the
British West Indies, a British
Crown Colony. The primary
purpose of this office is to
better serve the credit
requirements of local
companies wishing to
establish or expand overseas
subsidiaries or trade. In
addition, the bank can
gradually develop new
relationships with foreign
companies throughout the
world.
Last May, National
Central became the first
Pennsylvania bank to in
troduce a system of twelve 24
Hour Banking Machines
linked to a central computer,
the largest system of its kind
in the country. In Sep
tember, the bank became the
first bank in Central Penn
sylvania to form an
organized dealer depart
ment for municipal bonds.
This department handles
bonds which a commercial
bank may legally deal in or
underwrite and serves
banks, other institutional
investors, corporations and
individuals.

Master Farmers Feted
During Pa.
Six Master Farmers were
honored Tuesday at a special
Farm Show Week luncheon
of state agricultural leaders
at the Penn Harris Motor
Inn.
The rural Pennsylvanians
won recognition for
leadership in farm and civic
organizations as well as
achievements in agriculture.
Those receiving the
coveted award were: H.
Eugene Blevins, Stewart
stown, York County; Harold
C. Cayman, Waynesboro,
Franklin County; Ernest 0.
Miller, Hamburg, Berks
County; S. Richard Moyer,
Winfield, Union County,
Thomas 0. Oyler, Sr.,
Gettysburg, Adams County;
and J. Glenn Poorbaugh,
Mount Pleasant, Fayette
County.
Both Blevins and Oyler
produce fruit. But while
Blevins tries to sell as much
fruit as possible directly to
the consumer, Oyler finds
running a stand requires too
much time and bookwork.
Poultryman Richard
Moyer goes the direct
marketing route, too, selling
41,600 cases of eggs and 60
tons of beef direct to Mrs.
Consumer each year.
The remaining winners
are all dairymen. Gayman
ships a million'and a half
pounds of milk to market
each year. Miller has ex
panded the size of this farm
to 520 acres or almost nine
times its original
size ... and he’s not yet 40
years old.
Poorbaugh, senior
member of this Master
Farmer class, has been
dairying since he was 14
years old. Now, 47 years
later, he’s still at the helm of
his 93-acre farm proving a
fanner doesn’t have to be big
to be good.

in the mid : l9so’s reduced
disease incidence through
1971. However, the trend was
reversed during the past two
years. Data collected from
12 selected states showed a
ten percent increase in in
fected herds during fiscal
year 1973, compared to the
year before.
The need is now to protect
the 99 percent of the
livestock industry that’s
already free of brucellosis,
according to Yeutter. He
noted that the $7OO million
already spent on the
Farm Show
magazine and the Penn State
Cooperative Extension
Service.
Judges for this year’s
contest were the Penn

Agriculture Jim McHale;
Dr. James M. Beattie, State

Chairman of the
Agricultural Committee of
the Pennsylvania Bankers
