The results 7 Agway animal nutritionists
and researchers have made a good thing better'
From start to finish at about 325 pounds, the
improved formulas won hands down
Calves fed improved Starter and
Finisher showed an average daily gam of 2 28
pounds per animal per day with a feed conver
sion rate of 164 pounds of feed per pound of gam
Agway Veal Pre-Starter, Starter and
Finisher are made from quality ingredients From
top quality protein, 100% derived from milk
products From 100% animal fat Because Agway
knows that protein quality and fat source are the
keys to top performance
Every grower knows that prime veal
depends on the quality and vigor of the calves,
proper housing, feeding, management and sanita
tion Do all of them right and the improved Agway

These, plus many other
questions which the mem
bers raised, were discussed
at the meeting.
Dennison enlightened the
audience how PFA’s legal
service can help and has
been working to assist farm
families with their legal
problems.
The service, which began
in 1976, is the first legal
service for farm families in
the United States.
The legal guidelines
service is designed as a
pioneer educational
program. It proposes to help
the farm family learn about
its legal rights and legal
opportunities.
The program will study
general legal principles but
it will also offer practical
answers to everyday
questions.
