DEKALB, 111. - Due to a very
wet, prolonged planting season m
eastern Indiana and western Ohio
in the spring of ISMJI, some fanners
who needs them?
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 Phos-Min, 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".

n through this area in August or
September, you saw brilliant
yellow fields of sunflowers.
These fields are being harvested
and farmers will have the winter to
mull over the successes and
failures of their introduction to
sunflower production. Due to an
extremely dry period following
planting, which delayed ger
mination in some fields untd early
August, there will probably be
some who “swear off” planting
sunflowers.

be planted up to 10 days later than
soybeans with a reasonable chance
ot maturing before frost.
The U.S. oil-type sunflower
acreage will continue to increase
as demand for its product grows.
Current hybrids normally contain
up to 45 percent oil, which is the
primary product. Sunflower oil has
a lower flash point than other
cooking oils and smokes less when
heated. It is very popular in
Europe and the Soviet Union, but is
still being "discovered” as a
cooking oil in the United States. A
sunflower margarine and a
peanut-butter type spread made
from sunflower seeds are now
available.
Other by-products of sunflowers
include the meal remaining after
pressing the seed to remove the oil.
