Beacon Lacto-Pels are formulated to meet the needs of high producing cows,
even when roughage quality is average or less than average. Lacto-Pels is a
feed designed to get the most milk possible from the grain fed.
Cows relish this highly palatable feed and clean it up readily, even in
milking parlors. Because they do, even the highest producers get the energy
they need for top milk production without depleting body reserves.
Lacto-Pels are uniform, flow well and are especially suited to bulk handling
and rapid feeding.
Protein is guaranteed at 16% or 20%. Fat at not less than 3%% and crude
fiber no more than 8%. It's a highly efficient feed.
Portability comes from the use of cane molasses with wheat middlings and
other ingredients. Corn distillers grains are present as a source of fat and
energy, and for their milk stimulating properties. Dehulled soybean meal is the
chief protein source, and corn and wheat middlings all help provide the highly
digestible energy.
Like all Beacon dairy rations, Lacto-Pels are fortified with trace minerals plus
3,000 units of vitamin A per pound and 6,000 units of vitamin D. This is three
times the level of vitamin fortification in ordinary dairy rations and gives good
insurance against deficiencies caused by poor or insufficient roughage.
Beacon Lacto-Pels help cows to maximum milk production for each 100
pounds of feed.

will be held on Friday
evening October 11, 1974 in
the Twin Valley High School
cafeteria and auditorium.
The contest is open to all
students in the four

distributed over 1000 packets
of seed to interested students
along with copies of the rules
and instructions for growing
the pumpkins.
Those elementary students
who have pumpkins for the
contest should bring them to
the cafeteria between 7:00
and 7:30 p.m. Each student
is allowed to enter three
pumpkins, but all must be
from seed distributed by the
FFA. Students should attach
a card to their pumpkins
giving their name, a*e,

While FFA members are
weighing and measuring the
pumpkins, a member of the
high school faculty will judge
the most unusual shaped
pumpkin category. From
7:30 until 9:00 p.m. the film
“The Absent Minded
Professor” will be shown in
the auditorium for the en
tertainment of the con
testants and their parents.
About 9:00 p.m. the winners
will be announced and prizes
will be distributed. Prize
winners in each of the three
categories - heaviest
pumpkin, pumpkin with the
largest circumference, and
most unusual shaped
pumpkin - will receive
monetary prizes and will
compete for grand champion
trophies in each category.
Over $160.00 in prize money
will be distributed.
This year for the second
time, there will be a teachers
division in the contest.
Teachers will compete for a
trophy for the heaviest
pumpkin.
Last year’s winners were:
Larry Barnet, heaviest
pumpkin; Rodney Stoltzfus,
pumpkin with the largest
circumference; and Sandie
Ritchie, most unusual
shaped pumpkin. Winner in
the teachers division was
Mrs. Devin.
