    System With
Until now, most ventilation systems had
one drawback. Air inlets had to be opened
and closed by hand.
This was time consuming and pretty
much a matter of guesswork
Now, Chore-Time has eliminated this pro
blem.
The Chore-Time system has a mind of its
own and adjusts inlets in conjunction with
INLET POWER pffl
PACK
AIR INLETS
Four basic components go into the
makeup of this ventilation system
the fan, the inlet, the air inlet power
pack, and the controls Coordinated,
these four basic components can
provide you with better conversion and
performance by removing stresses due
to lack of oxygen, excess humidity, nox
ious gases and temperature extremes

fan operation to maintain air pressure at a
constant, preset level.
This provides a degree of air and moisture
accuracy never before possible in poultry and
livestock buildings.
The new inlet control (pictured) is just one
of many exclusive features that make Chore-
Time air systems number one in performance
and reliability.

ventilation for a new or ex

Chore-Time Air System.
Your local Chore-Time

Livestock cycles
(Continued from Page 124)
livestock cycle “currently is
not a workable alternative,”
Dr. Clem Ward of Oklahoma
State University said during
session three. However, Dr.
Ward said, “an industry
influenced cycle is highly
desirable.”
This influence, he said,
should come from industry
groups which have a
responsibility to inform their
members about current and
future production and
marketing conditions. “By
keeping producers better
informed, they may be able
to make more responsible
production decisions and
livestock cycles may be
dampened somewhat. ’ ’
The manager of the
Canadian Cattlemen’s
Association, Charles A.
Gracey told session three
that he would not favor an
industry-managed cycle “if
we are talking about some
type of compulsory program
involving supply control or
quota production of some
sort.”
But, he said, he would
favor such a cycle if it were
“influenced by industry
leadership and information
programs of sufficient
quality to help producers
reach and make more ap
propriate decisions.” Noting
that “no economic law is
more deeply embedded m
the cattlemen’s conscience
than the law of supply and
demand,” Gracey said this
“immutable” law snould be
harnessed “to our ad
vantage.”
“Look around” livestock
producers were advised by
Richard L. Nock, president
of Livestock Marketing
Association, during session
four. Nock, who spoke on
whether better management
by individual producers was
a workable alternative,
stressed that producers
must be aware of the history
of past cycles, and current
marketing conditions, in
order to deal with the latest
one.
Acknowledging that “each
producer rides a different
horse,” Nock talked about
influences on “the new cattle
marketing” such as estate
situations, land ownership
and tax situations. The
owner of a California
livestock market, Nock also
told the audience that future
“ups and downs” in cattle
prices “will be signalled by
the futures market. You
must play the game on this
basis.”
Speaking about the
movement of fed cattle,
Nock said “If there is one
thing that will kill off the
entire industry, it will be the
farmer feeder who bows his
neck and takes his cattle up
to 1,500 pounds.”
Robert Reierson,
economist with Monfort of
Colorado, told this session
that “if more cattle
operations try to avoid large
numbers when most others
have large inventories, then
the peaks and valleys in
numbers, consumption and
price vrill be lessened,”
Three things are needed to
do this, he said: seeing the
alternatives, making
decisions based on
knowledge of them, and
making sure that “someone
keeps reminding us of where
we are in the cattle cycle and
what this means to us."
The Congress is conducted
by the Institute as the in
dustry’s premier annual
conference on livestock
economics.
