To Be Safety Alert
During this busy, hot harvest
season, take time to be safe.
Reports show that human errors
are responsible for about 85 per
cent or more of all farm accidents.
Many accidents that are blamed
on mechanical failures could have
been prevented if someone had
checked and repaired the equip
ment as the need arose. It is
human to make mistakes but it can
also be dangerous.
Harvest is the payoff for a
season of hard work, but there may
be no pay-day for those who fall
victim to a serious harvesting
accident.
National Farm Safety Week is
coming up during September 19-25.
Let's not wait till then to practice
safe habits.

THE COMPLETE LISSCO FLUSH SYSTEM:
The Lissco waste management
system controls problems and in
creases your profits by flushing
animal wastes from the confinement
housing to a lagoon or treatment
tank. The wastes are then
aerobically treated by the Lissco
Aqua-Vac aerator. This aeration is
very similar in principle to the
process city waste treatment plants
used to treat sewage. Instead of the
waste' solids decaying, they are
actually broken down and digested
by non-dangerous aerobic bacteria.
Gases, odors, and disease
producing anaerobic bacteria are
controlled.

Slaughter Steers and Heifers
through Wednesday mostly 1.00-
2.00 lower with virtually all the
decline posted on Monday’s
market. Cows and Bulls steady. No
loads of Mixed Choice and Prune
This minimizes your need for
expensive antibiotics to fight
diseases and decreases the need for
constant ventilation, since the air is
cleaner and fresher. Less ven
tilation means lower heating costs in
the winter. And the Lissco flush
system automatically removes
wastes so there are no solids
buildup and no need for costly
honeywagons and the man hours
involved in manually removing
waste. Your livestock have a
healthier living environment, you
have a cleaner working environment
and your operation is more
economical.

share of receipts made up of Good
