ALFA ZYME is a fermented enzyme product in
jected onto a fine grade alfalfa (a top grade carrier
of enzymes) We have the ORIGINAL ENZYMES
PRODUCT'
The COST of ALFA-ZYME Vs return dollar
is fantastic While other products use minimal
lbs per ton ALFA ZYME requires 50 Lbs for every
3 tons of silage or high moisture corn A 120 ton
silo takes 40 bags or 1 tone of ALFA-ZYME
We realize we might not have the easiest product
to apply, but after application we have that “SOME
THING SPECIAL" that makes better silage and
corn' (No we don't have an "easy applicator"
but then again if your results are not satisfactory
with easily applied" products all you end up with
is a useless “easy applicator l ")
IN SUMMARY
.Silage maker and preserver of
outstanding merit!
The contact herbicide may be
applied at the rate of one pint per
acre in 20 to 60 gallons of water by
ground equipment as a broadcast
application. It should be applied
only to established alfalfa stands
that are at least one year old.
Applications should be made
immediately after alfalfa has been
removed for silage or hay. Fields
should not be treated more than
five days after cutting.
Growers should note that alfalfa
foliage present at the time of ap
plication will be burned, and that
weeds germinating after the

SPRINKLER COOLING SYSTEM
(Not Fogger)
[THE PROBLEM
jtf2^jjrog|E^gT22jginijQ|^2SßC3Es3sS
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 minutes/hour is recommended for
best results.) When the barn temperature drops below
72° F the cycle is automatically interrupted.
The nozzles are clamped to a plastic pipe strung over
the gutter of slatted area at the rear 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 m
geographical areas of generally high summer relative
humidity.

PMA cites Sauder
PHILADELPHIA - Penn
sylvania .Manufacturers’
Association Insurance Company
has presented Safe Driver Awards
to R.W. Sauder, Inc., Lititz, in
recognition of the poultry and egg
processing firm’s outstanding
highway safety record.
Paraquat application will not be
controlled.
Paraquat may be applied from
one to three times during the
cutting season. Chevron also
recommends that 16 fluid ounces of
Ortho X-77 Spreader be added to
100 gallons of spray mix.
FOR HOGS
THE PROOF:

4.38
The awards presentation took
place during a Driver Award
Banquet at the Leola Family
Restaurant. Paul Sauder, - vice
president, and Craig Sylves, ac
count executive for PMA,
presented the awards to sixA
drivers. Each driver . averaged
90,000 miles annually in eastern
Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware and Virginia.
Drivers honored were Reuben
Homing, IX years; Louis Sauder, 3
years; and Nelson Gingrich,
Marvin Hartman, Jr., Ken Fisher
and Luther Staats, all 2 years.
THE SOLUTION:
When the temperature is above 72° F
even ventilation can't cure the stress that
results. But a sprinkler cooling system can
help your hogs where nature fell short,
giving them a chance to cool off. It sprays
them with coarse water droplets to reduce
their body temperature. The idea is
simple, but extremely effective.
