Quality roughage alone can provide much of the protein and energy needed for milk production But since roughages may lack both balance and quantity of minerals necessary for maximum milk production, bone and muscle development, and the most efficient utilization of other nutrients—many dairymen need a mineral supplement program How can you tell if you need a mineral supplement program? Let us make a free analysis of your forage crops We'll give you a report on the nutrient value of your hay, silage, or other roughages, along with recommendations for any supplements—if necessary We won't try to sell you anything you don't need* Our three mineral mixes—Beacon PhosMm, Beacon Mineral Ade and Beacon Cal-Min-are formulated by highly respected dairy nutrition specialists The supplement they recommend will contain the necessary minerals to make up deficiencies or imbalance in your roughages and to achieve the proper calcium-phosphorus ratio in your total feeding program You can rest assured that you aren t paying extra for exotic ingredients, high transportation cost, and expensive promotion and sales cost With BEACON, you get more mineral units per dollar invested. % Mineral supplements, formulated especially for the cow at reasonable cost, are part of what we call “No nonsense feeding" CALL YOUR BEACON DEALER TODAY W.L.

In holding the workshop, the people from Hopkins will attempt to show how their product, Unite, can be used to effectively keep fertilizer and pesticide mixes from separating. The Hopkins firm claims that Umte will work with both wettable powders and emulsifiable concentrates, giving good stability with minimum agitation. The product is reported to be economical to use, with one to three pints being sufficient for 100 gallons of a tank mix. Its use can help maximize the ef fectiveness of pesticides by helping assure uniform, accurate applications over scon HODGSON Beacon Advisor Phone 717-292-1252 the field, Hopkins literature claims. The company claims further that their product can save down-time caused by plug-ups and tank clean outs. Compatability problems are caused by a number of factors, Hopkins explains. The difference in the chemistry of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and various fertilizer solutions cause most of the problems of compatibility, the ELECTRIC GENERATING SYSTEMS Built to Your Specifications Manual or Automatic L.P.
