As a farmer, you know what a day or two delay at
harvesting time can cost Nutrients lost from a few
days delay can mean hundreds of dollars spent for
the purchase of additional supolements at feeding
time Today, all you need is one man, one tractor
and one Ford 552 Round Baler to make up a
complete baling system
Cut Harvesting Time and Reduce Costs.
Bales Up To Six Feet in Diameter and Weighing
as,Much as 1500 Pounds. One bale may contain
as much hay as 20-25 conventional bales, and that
means less twine After baling, the crop continues to
dry and cure Outside moisture will mat the outer
leaves and stems to form a protective weather
resistant coating The material under the outer
coating stays fresh and nutritious until feeding
YOU WILL NEVER GET A BETTER PRICE ON THESE BALERS THAN RIGHT NOW!

CATTLE: Compared with
previous weeks to close.
Through midweek, slaughter
steers were weak to 50 cents
lower. Heifers closed mostly
steady. Cows were 1.00-2.00
lower after an early advance
lost. Bulls closed weak.
Four day receipts 14,600 as
compared 7,400 previous
week and 18,600 a year ago.
Fed cattle prices declined
the forepart of the week
under bearish influence of a
dull carcass trade, and most
buying interests were
selective. However most of
the early downturn was
regamed in spirited mid-
week trading as carcass
prices pointed upward and
most interests were in need
of cattle for immediate
requirements. One major
buyer was still out of
operation for plant renova
tion and vacations and much
of the supply was bought for
slaughter outside the im
mediate Omaha area.
Slaughter steers made up
approximately 51 pet. of the
week’s supply and heifers 31
pet, a fair percentage choice
included. Cows comprised 12
pet. and feeders only 3 pet.
