MILFORD, Ind. - The control of
incoming air is crucial to the
success of any ventilation system.
Producers who are able to control
fresh air distribution in a poultry
or livestock building are also able
to maximize animal comfort and,
ultimately, profit.
To help poultry and livestock
producers achieve better control of
their air distribution, Chore-Time
Equipment, Milford, Ind., has
recently added single-door air
inlets to complement the com
pany’s line of double-door inlets
and inlet system controls, ac
cording to Bob Krevinghaus,
Produce Development Manager
for Chore-Time Ventilation
Systems.
Available in 6,12, and 16-inch tall
sizes, the new air inlets are shorter
and deliver about one-half of the
maximum air flow of their two
door counterparts. Both types of
inlet doors slide horizontally in a
proven rail track system to
provide a tighter, more con
trollable opening during (Aitical
Hesston contest opens
HESSTON, Kan. - Future
Farmers of America are invited to
enter Hesston Corporation’s 1964
“Salute to Agriculture” contest.
Winners will receive cash prizes
and commemorative belt buckles
of the National Finals Rodeo.
Contestants are asked to write a
“Salute to Agriculture” in 100
words or less about the role far
mers and/or ranchers play in
improving the economy and
standard of living in North
America. The message should
emphasize the positive job the
farmer is doing.
Entry forms for the contest are
minimum ventilation periods,
Krevinghaus said. Both types of
Chore-Time’s air inlets are made
of hard-surface urethane in
sulation material.
“Some ventilation situations
require locating smaller openings
closer together for improved
minimum ventilation air
distribution throughout the
building. By adding a shorter inlet
to our line of ventilation com
ponents, our customers will be able
to more closely match air inlet
capacity and more easily fine tune
the air flow in both small rooms
and in long narrow buildings to
their ventilation requirements,”
Krevinghaus pointed out.
Chore-Time’s line of ventilation
products also include inlet controls
for manual or automatic operation
of inlets and a complete line of fans
and fan controls. The company
manufactures complete ven
tilation systems and other
automated equipment for the care
and feeding of poultry and
livestock.

Master Mix milk promotion begins
BY GLENN B. KNIGHT
YORK - “Milk - It’s Fitness
You Can Drink.”
Master Mix Feeds and local
dairy farmers will work together
in May and June to help publicize
milk as the drink of choice. Ac
cording to Lisa Lepore, district
sales representative for York
County, Master Mix will pay one
dollar to support dairy promotion
for every ton of dairy feed sold
during that time.
“Dairy farmers can use all the
help they can get what with con
sumption down and recent price
cuts,” said Mike Miller, mill
foreman for Spangler and Sprenkle
in York. Many people blame the
million dollar advertising cam
paigns for soda, coffee, beer and
wine as contributing to milk’s
promotional problems.
William H. Sprenkle, owner of
the major supplier of dairy feed in
York County says, “It’s a
remarkable idea since the money
goes to support both national
advertising and the York County
Milk producers Association.” Half
of each dollar donated by the
Master Mix company will be given
to the United Dairy Industry
Association and the rest to a local
dairy association where the feed is
sold.
Sprenkle, who has been in the
feed business since 1934 and keeps
in shape with regular exercise and
a proper diet, noted the im
portance of milk to a proper diet.
“Older people, especially, need to
have dairy products for the
calcium to keep their bones
strong," he reported.
The supplier of feed to some
14,000 dairy animals cited lack of
funds as the reason milk is not
promoted as well as the other
drinks.
“Dairy products the major
source of calcium are a
necessity in the diet,” he con
tinues, “if they are concerned
about cholesterol, they should
drink the low fat varieties of
milk.”
Appointments were recently made to a new Kalium Chemicals Dealer Council. In
cluded in the membership of the Council, which is designed to improve customer ser
