National Shorthorn youth meet Important national committee meetings on subjects pertinent to the beef cattle industry, such as the value of embryo tran splants; artificial in semination; and genetic recapture; are on Satur day’s agenda. State groups will be in competition throughout the Conference, Sears said, in the various contests that also include scrapbook content and presentation, mottos and a promotional contest, in addition to the public speaking and showmanship competition. The promotional contest, started in 1978, provides State Junior Shorthorn Associations with the option of presenting a skit, radio or television commercial or a newspaper/magazine ad vertisement. This approach to promoting Shor thorns/Polled Shorthorns and the beef cattle industry in general, Sears said, is judged on the basis of originality, aggressiveness and the degree of success in communication. The presentation of the Outstanding Club Award, based on the accumulation of points earned by the states during the three days of NEW LOW-COST WAY TO SEAL AND STORE FEED STUFFS EFFECTIVELY Nutritionists, cattlemen and dairymen agree sealed storage is the way to get the most from feedstuffs. But, sealed silos are costly... and immovable! Now, you can seal and store silage and high moisture grains in low-cost plastic bags ... wherever you wish ... and retain maximum feed quality, quickly converted to more milk per cow or extra beef per pound of feed for faster, more profitable gains. You also can reap an extra harvest in added benefits. The Eberhardt Silopress has been used suc cessfully in Western Europe for seven years, It's new in America...but catching on fast! Compare this new concept with the system you’re using now. Consider the benefits, ad vantages and flexibility. And also consider the cost. Then, put a Silopress to work for you! ■ Extensive research proves the Silopress preserves feedstuffs with minimal nutrient loss. ■ Feedstuffs come out of storage highly palatable. ■ Feedstuffs capable of being ensiled, sealed and stored in plastic bags include corn, alfalfa, oats, barley, wheat, coastal Bermuda grass, legume forages, native grasses, ryegrass, milo, sorghum, brewers’ spend gram, distillers' grains, fruit packing byproducts and cannery byproducts. High moisture grains also may be stored successfully. In some instances, the Silopress has been used to store beef and chicken waste. Aspen wood is be ing stored experimentally for use as a feedstuff. ■ Storage capacity is unlimited. When extra storage is needed, another bag can be added. Each 80 to 100 ft plastic bag may contain 100 tons of silage on the average depending upon the moisture content and den sity of the feedstuff being handled. Bags are readily available. ■ Highly mobile, the Silopress is equipped with transport wheels and converts quickly to tow position with an actual competition, will be part of the closing Sunday session. The announcement of national officers and directors for the organization will also take place during the closing business session Sunday morning, Sears said. The American Junior Shorthorn Association, organized in 1967, en compasses 40 states and Canada with nearly 3,000 active members, ages nine to 21. Current officers and directors of the national organization are president, Rex Tribbett, Linden, In.; vice-president, Faye Get zelman, Hampshire, IL; SILO PRESS June 12-15 secretary-treasurer.

It can be transported easily from field to field or farm to farm, maneuvered into tight places The Silopress may be operated with a tractor as small as 50 horsepower.

The machine can be towed behind a tractor or pickup on the highway. ■ With a Silopress, you can store your feedstuffs any place on your farm... wherever it can be fed most convenient ly. Bags require no permanent foundations. ■ Feedstuffs can be self-fed to cattle directly from the bag. To many hvestockmen, this feauture alone justifies use of the Silopress on their farms and ranches Materials also may be removed with front end loader. The bag is filled in vertical layers, making unloading easier. ■ For farmers wishing to store several different types of feedstuffs separately, the Silopress is ideal. A separate bag can be used to store each type of feed ■ With a Silopress. you can feed a number of different feedstuffs m whatever order you desire or in combina tion. ■ Farmers who are renting their land can enjoy the ad vantages of sealed storage with a Silopress without the high investment costs and landlord-tenant complexities of conventional silos. ■ The Silopress is well adapted to custom farming opera tions, bringing the advantages of sealed storage to both small and large-scale farmers (In Europe, many Silopress units are owned by custom operators.) ■ With a Silopress, you can harvest feedstuffs almost Ir regardless of weather.. rainy days no exception Little or no silage is lost during work stoppages m filling. This system of storage will accept feedstuffs with wide varia tions m moisture content and still maintain feed quality.
