HOUSTON. Tex
Registrations of Charolats
cattle continued at a strong
level through 1975, with
breeders receiving new
certificates on 78,150
animals, states Dr J. W
Gossett, executive vice
president of the breed
registry, American - In
ternational Charoiais Assn.
"This strong number of
new certificates Issued is

stock producer as well as the
beef industry as a whole," he
said.

the number of transfers
issued, which totalled 45,100
animals, substantiating the

(Uicon) fertilizer spreader
'
The most accurate
fertilizer spreader
you can buy
The Vicon Spreader uses an ex
clusive fast-action spout moving
back and forth at 540 times per
minute to give even, rectangular
coverage instead of the usual
circular pattern.
That means increased profit be
cause you get uniform fertilizer
coverage, resulting in better stands and higher yields
Give the Vicon fertilizer spreader a try. It costs no
more than others. But it’s better.
