may help fight Inflation in
1976, according to a new
booklet issued by the Potash
Institute.
It shows that extra net
returns per acre from potash
are greater today than 3
years ago, in most cases.
The report converts
agronomic returns from
university experiments into
economic returns on nine
major crops corn,
soybeans, alfalfa, wheat,
com silage, grain sorghum,
barley, cotton, and
tomatoes.

It takes the extra yield
potash adds to a crop when
other nutrients and practices
are adequate and computes
extra crop value and costs to
get the extra dollars potash
application netted.
The illustrated booklet
also features percent return
on the potash investment.
Money invested in potash
paid excellent interest. But
percent return on potash
may go down while extra
dollars per acre go up as
potash rates increase, the
report shows.
The grower is more in
terested in the extra dollars
than percent return from

potash, because he must get
as much money as he can
from the set number of acres
he farms.
The report features three
valuable lessons:
(1) Potash applied to high
K-testing soils has given
good returns in areas where
cool, moist spring conditions
make soil K less available.
(2) Enough potash on
grain crops to give
carryover potash for the
next crop is better than
money in the bank. A
soybean crop following a
“well potashed” com crop
gave $4O more return per
acre on what amounted to
another crop’s potash.
Savings that reduce yields
can become costs that
reduce profits.

two-color booklet is

BULK MILK COOLER
B
Mueller Frc-Hcater
The Paul Mueller Com
pany, Springfield, Missouri
has developed a
revolutionary new item to
help the dairy farmer save
money and Join in the
nationwide campaign for
conservation of energy the
Mueller Fre-HeaterTM.
Bulk milk coolers on
modem dairy farms are
designed to remove heat
from the milk promptly by
means of refrigeration
machines, generally of the
air-cooled type. This heat
has previously been wasted.
With the new Mueller Fre-
Heater, this heat is now
captured and used for
heating water which is
needed for “prepping” the
cows and washing the milk
cooler, the pipeline milker,
etc.
The Fre-Heater consists of
a specially designed heat
exchanger located below a
hot water storage tank with a
“percolator tube” extending
up the center off the tank.
This percolator tube is fitted
with a thermostat and the
refrigerant compressor is
mounted below this

assembly. Rather than using
noisy, dust-creating fans
with fragile, dirt-collecting
air cooled condensers, the
regrigerant is routed to the
special heat exchanger, thus
permitting the heat from the
milk to be transferred to the
water. The necessity for a
conventional water heater is
eliminated.
There are too many
variables to be able to
definitely say how much hot
water the Fre-Heater will
generate. However, a rule of
thumb is that a two hor
sepower unit operating on 60
degrees F. well water will
produce a volume of 140
degrees F. water similar to
the amount of milk produced
during milking. In other
words, if 100 gallons of milk
per milking is produced,
approximately 100 gallons of
hot water (140 degrees F.)
will be generated during
each milking.
