It Is Not Too Late
To make the best use of plant
nutrients, a farmer should keep
them in balance thru testing, make
proper and timely use of
pesticides, use lime as a
multipurpose cure all (well not
quite).
Lime is probably the most un
derrated soil additive we have, it
can come close to doing many of
the things the slick-talking
salesman claims for all of those so
called miracle products.
It provides nutrients, corrects
soil acidity, enhances the ef
fectiveness of pesticides, en
courages plant root development
and is pound for pound the least

Many farmers are already into
the midst of planting. Others will
soon be there depending on which
part of the state they farm. Soil
tests could (but probably
won’tjstill be taken. Lime could
still be applied if necessary. On
most hay stands it may be easier to
wait until fall but if you are low on

As the cost price squeeze tightens,
records can help spot those penny
wasters that turn into dollar losers.
Every move that a highly
leveraged farmer makes now must
be made with more deliberation. In
good times poor records can cost
you money, cause you to overpay
taxes, lose you credit op
portunities, and reduce your ef
fectiveness as a manager. In hard
times poor records can put you out
of business.
1 find that many fanners keep
inadequate records because they
fight the idea. The usual attitude is
let us produce our product in the
beat way we know how without
records. If it were not for income
taxes, most farmers would keep no
records.
Some people may see this as a
solution to our present dilemma of
overproduction. Eliminate the
need to keep records for tax pur
poses. Withhold from the milk
check, beef check, etc based on an
average cash expense efficiency.
Then require no returns.

NFO donates wheat
flour to Poland
NEW PRAGUE, Minn. - Wheat
donated by members of National
Farmers Organization was milled
into 100,000 pounds of flour here
last Wednesday, bagged and
turned over to two church
organizations to be distributed
among the needy people of Poland.
DeVon Woodland, president of
National Farmers Organization,
who attended ceremonies here
marking completion of the project,
said the flour will be sent by rail to
Baltimore, Md., where it is
destined to be loaded aboard a ship
this coming Monday and sent on its
way to Poland.

REEF OYSTER
SHELL
The addition of 110 lbs. (50 kilos) of oyster shell
per ton of feed will furnish your layers with the
supplemental calcium needed for strong eggshells.
One recent study compared oyster shell and
limestone as large particle calcium supplements.
Birds on oyster shell increased production, had
fewer checked and cracked eggs, and reduced the
amount of feed required per dozen eggs.
Another recent study concluded that calcium
from oyster shell, in any form, is more available
than that of limestone for eggshell formation.
And still more proof comes from chemical an
alyses of blood plasma. Hens fed oyster shell
show consistently higher levels of calcium during
the critical period of eggshell formation when it's
most needed.
Oyster shell can make a big difference in your
egg check. Please call or write The Fox Co. for
additional information.
Genstar Pure Reef Oyster Shall is distributed
