rtvsoy: the ideal source
of amino acids
d the Vigortone corn-soy way
some time now, universities and top
itionists have agreed that a corn-soy
in provides the ideal level and
nee of amino acids for growing and
hing swine. In fact, one leading
utritionist recently concluded: “There is
o single ingredient or group of ingre
icnts that will economically substitute
or soybean meal in swine rations.”
Corn-soy rations, like all swine rations,
oust be fortified with the proper levels of
lajor minerals, trace minerals, vitamins
nd other ingredients vital to the health
nd growth of the pig. This is where
'igortone pre-mixes come in.

perform a Vigortone fortified corn-soy
ration. The reasons are simple. In addi
tion to providing the proper balance of
all 10 essential amino acids, you also as
sure adequate levels of other nutrients
even when poor quality grain is fed.
- Unlike commercial programs, the ra
tion is not robbed of proper nutrition
when you cut back on protein (amino
acids), because your major minerals,
trace minerals, vitamins and other ingre
dients are separate.
Visit with your
Vigortone Serviceman
If you'd like to learn more about corn
soy rations and how to fortify them, talk
to your Vigortone serviceman soon.
You'll learn why more pork producers
are feeding Vigortone especially now.

SUMMER
Summer has finally
arrived in this our Bicen
tennial year as in all the
years that have gone on
before. You must pardon my
philosophizing for a moment,
but haven’t we all expected
and planned for this summer
as always? When spring
came,' we prepared the soil
and planted counting on the
sun and the rain to nourish
the crops. We knew that the

Sis?
m
possibility of crop failure
was there and this possibility
was realized for some when
the sudden summer storms
and hail struck. But for most
it was a much needed rain,
and now we look on fields of
green, stretching corn,
wheat ripening to harvest,
and alfalfa soon needing to
be cut again.
Yes, we can see the results
of the hours of preparation
and thousands of dollars
spent this spring as we drive
by the fields of com, and
wheat, and hay. But we can’t
see the desire of the heart
that makes a man want to
produce a better crop. Many
are the decisions that must
be made. Sometimes they
are right, sometimes they
are wrong. Risks are taken
because it is impossible to
account for all the
possibilities of failure. Good
management depends on
understanding the best
methods, products, and
services available, and using
them wisely. I believe
practicing good farming
leads a person to the
realization that to keep up
you have to try new things
and evaluate them on your
farm.
Now is the time to look at
what the results of this
year’s methods have done

for you. Are there still too
many weeds in your fields?
Have insects and diseases
stunted your crops? Do
plants show signs of a need
for more fertilizer? Or
should you have planted
earlier? Did you lose too
much soil in those spring
rains? Remember there are
alternatives that you may
need to try, that have
already been tested by
researchers and are being
used by other farmers.
Yes, summer is haying
and combining time, but it
is also a time to look at your
corn and alfalfa crops for
possible problems. Call the
local agriculture teacher,
county agent, seed
salesman, or a neighbor and
walk through your fields
with them. Maybe you will
learn something new that
will help you have a better
crop next summer.
