to make more efficient use of
such products. The
workshop will be held from 9

Inn, just off of Route 283,
Harrisburg. The program
will include a slide
presentation on “What is an
Adjuvant?”; Compatability
demonstrations, refresh
ments, a question and an
swer period, and lunch.

you do!
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"

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

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
