Pasture Management A new 4-page brochure which explains in detail how leading stockmen in all sections of the country arc using new low cost methods to increase production of grass in pastures, is now available. It is especially timely because the current shortage and high price of feed grain is creating a greater emphasis on the importance of grass in supplying feed for the nation’s beef and dairy in dustries.

Davies, president of Royer, stated, “The Shred-King, which will be renamed The Woodsman, will expand the lines of equipment that our Agricultural Products Division is manufacturing for the renovation and development of land.” Royer’s Agricultural Products Division manufactures brush chip pers as well as full range of shreeders which are used for preparation of top soil and largescaie leaf composting. Triumph Machinery Com pany, Hackettstown, N.J., is known for the manufacture of tractor-mounted sickelbar grass mowers. The Woodsman can clear up to 3 acres of land a day for building, recreational and highway projects by cutting down and chipping trees (up to 6” in dia.) and brush. The chipped material falls as it’s cut to blanket the site with a mulch. The Royer Wood sman will be produced in self-powered models, for use with dozers and loaders, and GOODS NOV. 1975 8, AT 10:00 A.M Refreshments Sale by CARRIE E.

New Chisel Plow MILWAUKEE, Wis. - A new No. 9 V-Chisel plow, wi*h either five or seven shank base units, is being offered by the Agricultural Equipment Divisions of the Alhs-Chalmers Corp. The five shank unit will accomodate two additional shanks to get to seven, while the seven shank base is adaptable to nine or eleven shanks. The shanks are made of one-inch steel with shearbolt protection for added strength. / t '-\ The farme is constructed of 4M* by 8-inch welded box type steel, and is heaviest in tike corners for more ef- Soybean to farm exceed uses WASHINGTON - Soybean supplies will be record large in 1975-76 while utilization may increase only moderately. The prospective balance points to an easier supply situation and a buildup in the carryover next August. Current market prices, reflecting this situation, declined to $5 per bushel (No. 1 yellow, Chicago) in mid-October, about $3.50 below a year ago. Large carryin stocks this year and the second largest crop on record are boosting 1975-76 soybean supplies to 1.66 billion bushels, 18 percent above last year and slightly above the previous record high in 1973-74. Soybean stocks on Sep tember 1 totaled 186 million bushels, 15 million above a year ago and were exceeded only by the large carryover of 1969 and 1970. The 1975 soybean crop is estimated at 1,474 million bushels (40.1 million metric tons), up 19 percent from last year but still shy of the 1973 record. Acreage for harvest is estimated at 53 Vz million acres, about 1 million above last year. Yields per acre are estimated at 27.5 bushels, up 4 bushels from the low level of last year and near the record high yields of 1972 and 1973. Although total use is ex pected to increase moderately from the reduced 1.22 billion bushels of last season, it is not likely to match the record use of 1973-74. So this may be the third consecutive year in which total utilization falls below production. Recuperation from the recession, continuing readjustment in the lovestock and poultry in dustries, and tough com petition from foreign - produced materials are major determinants which will influence soybean use. Also, there is still un certainty over crop outturns in other countries. The U.S. soybean export outlook appears more favorable than the small exports of last year becauseof reduced grain and oilseed crops in the Soviet fcctive shock absorption. Corners are also square to provide maximum surface area for easy clamping of shanks. A full 30 in. of vertical clearance is available for maximum working depths, while non-twist plate con struction holds shanks in line. Gauge wheels are listed as an optional and may be mounted directly to the frame or on the same center as the chisel shank. Dual wheeled gauge wheels have screw type depth ad justment. Both single and dual gauge wheels are available on the five shank unit, while dual gauge wheels are recommended for the heavier seven shank plow. The units easily adapt to any category II or 111 standard or quick coupler hitches.

With bigger supplies and somewhat lower prices, soybean use in 1975*76 is expected to total near 1.3 billion bushels, up from the 1.2 billion of last season but below the 1973-74 record of 1.4 billion. Cmshings may total 735 to 785 million bushels, up from 701 million the previous year. As world economic activity turns up, lower prices should en courage larger exports in 1975-76, perhaps ranging from 425 to 475 million bushels, compared with 421 million last year. This would leave carryover stocks on September 1, 1976 somewhere in the 325 to 425 million bushel range. Soybean prices to far mers in 1975-76 probably will drop sharply below $6.50 per bushel, which reflects record supplies and prospects for little increase in utilization. During the second half of the marketing yefT, prices will also be influenced by 'prospects for soybean output and supplies in 1976. Soybean oil supplies are estimated around 8 Vz billion pounds, up a half billion from 1974-75. Domestic disap pearance may approach 7 billion pounds, compared with 6% billion in 1974-75. Exports probably will drop somewhat below last year’s 1 billion pounds, due to in creased foreign supplies and reduced P.L. 480 shipments. A certain businessman had a reputation for never throwing anything away, especially correspondence dating back years. His secretary, cramped for filing space, one day asked if she might dispose of some of the older, more useless material. The man was reluctant but finaly said, “Well, all right, but be sure you make a copy of everything before you do.” Funny thing about kind ness: the more it’s used the more you have of it. 79
