FROM:
With the very unfavorable growing conditions in many mid-western states, adequate supplies of seed corn
for 1975 planting are in question, particularly the hard to grow single crosses. Indicated price increases promise
to drive prices over $40.00 per 50# bag for first line single crosses. Many companies are taking orders with no
guaranteed price at all ! !
We here at Doebler's are pleased to report our prospects are excellent for ago crop of seed corn. In addi
tion we have a sizeable carryover of last year's record crop. Rather than take unfo.r advantage of a supply sit
uation, we are "turning the clock back" with a special early order offer to sell seed corn at 1974 prices. The offer ends
by October 1, 1974 with no exceptions.
those of you who have not been planting Doebler's Hybrids and want to know tvore about the varieties
and th(e company, come to our Field Days in September (September 14, 15 - 21, 22) and take a "'See for Yourself"
look !!
ACT NOW -
Give this completed form to your local dealer or send directly to Doebler's
Plans are to make a Special Dealer delivery of "Turn the Clock Back" order starting about November 15, 1974.

Abilities needed in
agricultural occupations are
being determined in a
national survey, the first of
its kind. The study is being
carried out largely by
college and university
teachers and supervisors of
agricultural education.
Project chairman is Dr.
David R. McClay, head of
the department of
agricultural education at the
Pennsylvania State
University.

Dr. McClay said there is
considerable nationwide
need to identify the com
petencies required by men
and women seeking
agricultural employment at
levels of midmanagement
and below. The national
study should be especially
helpful in high school and
college programs leading to
employment in agriculture,

Study Swine
Farming
Hog growing has gone
commercial. No longer does
the margin of profit on swine
allow the luxury of a few
sows farrowed once a year
with pigs raised on home
grown feeds and a little
protein supplement.
According to a Penn
sylvania State University
correspondence course on
commercial swine
production and live hog
marketing, 60-sow herds (or
larger) with year-round
farrowing are needed for a
substantial income.
Year-round farrowing has
several advantages.
Buildings and equipment are
kept in constant use. Full
time labor is employed.
Marketing is orderly-hogs
are sold at regular intervals
-and buyers come to rely on a
steady supply.
The disadvantages? Feeds
are needed in large quantity.
Diseases come to be constant
threats. Buildings with
environmental control-heat,
ventilating, humidity-are
needed.

High Heat Ruins Meat
Use the coals, not the-fire, to
cook meat on an outdoor grill
Broiling at low to moderate tem
perature makes for juicier and
more tender meat. It also means
more meat to serve and emov
since high temperatures increase
cooking losses. It is important to
let the charcoal burn until cov
ered with a gray ash (30 to 45
minutes) before putting steak,
chops or burgers on the grill
If coals are spaced about a half
inch apart and in a single layer,
flare-up is reduced
