Acreage and Livestock Surveys Going To Farmers
A major Department of
Agriculture data gathering
effort of the year kicks off
May 22 - and riding on the
Interviews with 70,000 far
mers and mail contact with
thousands of others will be
indicators of the nation’s
1974 crop acreages, and
livestock and poultry
members.
Soaring demand for U. S.
farm commodities at home
and abroad is focusing at
tention on current
agricultural data. The
virtual turn-around in
production conditions - from
too much to too little - which
has occurred in the past 7
years has heightened in
terest in 1974 prospects for
farm commodities.

rge Design and Construction
objective in designing the Surge QTO Automatic
Milking System has been—GOOD COW MILKING ability. The
automatic "Quarter Take-Off" feature has been incorporated in
a modified Surge Breaker Cup®milker design. The result is a
Surge QTO Milker unit that utilizes genuine Surge downward,
forward milking action, maintains milking vacuum stability . . .
and provides automatic teat cup removal on an individual
quarter basis. That’s right, the teat cups remove independent of each
other.
Thorough Testing and Development
The Surge QTO System has undergone a most thorough and
rigid testing program. Results from nearly a million milkings
to date indicate the dependability of the QTO System. Over
60,000 individual cow milkings were monitored by Babson
personnel, with 160,000 individual quarter timings being
recorded. In addition, CMT (California Mastitis Test) counts
were made by noted dairy research scientists on several of
the QTO test herds.
Vital information concerning individual quarter milk-out time,
overall parlor efficiency . . . and general udder health was
evaluated in the QTO testing program.

Farm Machinery
Higher farm income in
1973 resulted in considerable
increase in the purchase of
major farm machinery. If
these machines were needed
to reduce labor costs or to
improve efficiency, there is
no argument of the merits of
the purchases. If they were
purchased to reduce taxes, it
may be false economics. The

custom work has con
siderable merit and could
reduce production costs.
