Soil Conservation Service calls for volunteers
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Thousands of volunteers are
needed to help battle soil erosion
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”.

serious problems facing America
today,” Myers said. “People who
will volunteer their time and
talents to help the Soil Con
servation Service and local soil
and water conservation districts
can put more conservation on the
land while keeping federal costs
down.”
In the new volunteer program,
authorized by the Agriculture and
Food Act of 1961, people could
perform a wide range of services
on a part-time or full-time basis,
such as aiding with.
—field surveys and layout of
conservation practices;
—conservation education
programs in schools, churches and
clubs;
—training of high school,
vocational and agricultural
students for soil and land judging
contests; and
—building or making use of
outdoor learning areas with
schools, Scouts and other groups
"Volunteers won’t be paid, but
they will find it satisfying and
interesting work,” Myers said
"They would not be considered
federal employees, but they will

It's different with hogs High tern giving them a chance to cool off It sprays
peratures cause them a great deal of them with coarse water droplets to reduce
stress because they can't sweat When their body temperature The idea is
under this stress due to heat hogs will simple but extremely effective

All of this adds up to lost profits
[THE SYSTEM:
The sprinkle cycle is turned on automatically
whenever the barn temperature rises above a preset
level 72* F Throughout this on period the control
functions to permit sprinkling to occur for a preset time
period each hour (2 mmutes/hour is recommended tor
best results ) When the barn temperature drops below
72* F the cycle is automatically interrupted
The nozzles are clamped to a plast'C p pe strung over
the gutter of slatted area at the -ear of the pen Each
nozzel covers a 5 6 foot diameter area which usually
means one nozzle per pen The nozzle assures a coarse
droplet spray pattern which is important for maximum
cooling A fine mist of fog is not desirable in
geographical areas of generally high summer relative

Lack of such protection
discouraged volunteer service in
the past The Soil Conservation
Service had only a small student
volunteer program under the Civil
Service Reform Act.
"Volunteers won’t be used to
displace current employees of
USDA We need all the trained
conservationists we have,” Myers
said "But volunteers can help us
be more responsive to local needs
without adding staff, and they can
help free up more tune for field
employees to work directly with
landowners on solving con
servation problems ”
Anyone interested in volun
teering, said Myers, should contact
the local office of the Soil Con
servation Service or the local
conservation district.
