When Is Tomorrow?
Some say it never comes. If it
finally does arrive, we call it today
and then a crazy thing happens
another mythical day fills the slot
that was hoped for yesterday. The
only way to describe tomorrow is
the day I yearned for yesterday. Or
perhaps hoped that it would never
come or would at least be late.
It’s a funny word, tomorrow. A
hit song in the musical comedy
“Annie,” a major theme of
numerous poems, and the ultimate
target of today’s worries. The
young can’t wait for it to come, and
Producers who have used Tylan®Sulfa-G™ know how
effectively it controls respiratory diseases like atrophic rhinitis 1
and bacterial pneumonia (like Pasteurella) 2 . But there's more
to Tylan Sulfa-G than just good disease control.
Tylan Feed Medication (“The Feed/Money Saver”) is
proven to boost a pig’s gain and feed conversion, and, in
combination with Sulfa-G (sulfamethazine Granurolls)
provides effective respiratory disease control.
Now we give you the Tylan Sulfa-G Challenge: Compare it
to your other starter/grower medications. We believe you’ll like
what you see. For disease control, that might mean less
coughing and sneezing, or a better slaughter check.
As to resulting performance, Tylan Sulfa-G can mean faster
gams on less feed, for more efficiency in practically all units.
(Results of TRAC Clinics indicate that almost every herd has
respiratory disease.) It all means a better return on your
medication investment.
The challenge to you is to try the product; the challenge to
us is to deliver on our word: Tylan Sulfa-G really works.
For more information, ask your feed man or Blanco
representative about the Challenge. We’re ready for you.

the old fear its arrival. Somewhere
in between the most of us are
betting too heavily on, if not a
winner, at least a better one than
today.
A day to put things off until, as I
so often do. Like writing a weekly
column or answering letters or
paying bills. Today is never a good
one to do those things. The one just
past was already too full, and the
one after that is already pledged to
the hilt, so I’ll wait until the due
date. It’s funny how soon that one
comes, and how much work can be
stacked under a deadline.
All problems will be solved, all
wrongs righted, and all postponed
tasks completed, or well in hand.
In case I forgot to mention it, the
rain we need, or the sunshine and
dry wind if you happen to have hay
laying, will arrive TOMORROW.
So will the check for the culls sent
to the packer. The price of milk
could go up, if the day doesn’t get
cancelled by an act of Congress, or
an overkill in the Minnesota-
Wisconsin surplus. Keep the faith
baby, and keep hoping.
Lots of things will happen
tomorrow, and most of it will be of
benefit to someone, especially
someone who is prepared for
whatever comes. Most of it hinges
on hope, and some on faith. But
much of what happens tomorrow
will happen because someone
pulled the right strings. Doors
don’t open unless someone pulls
the latch.
Tomorrow can come and go,
again and again, with a lot of doors
unopened because the hand held
only faith or hope, with no grip left
to pull the string or lift the latch.
Farm folk just naturally have a
lot of faith and tons of hope,
otherwise hardly anybody would
be in the business. But how much
power is still left in the old grip?
Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, September 13,1986-A37
The strings to be pulled might be a
little testy or even somewhat
rotten, but there are some good,
sound ones, connected to our
representatives in Harrisburg or
Washington. Instead of just
moaning about what goes on, start
pulling and let them know what
you think. You may be the one with
an idea that will shape the future of
the country, or the world.
No, the cows won’t wait until
tomorrow to be milked. Nor will
anything of a timely nature. If the
note at the bank is due today,
tomorrow is too late, unless
something is done today to
forestall foreclosure. Just as we

Some things just can’t wait until
tomorrow. Even some of the doors

Somebody, ' somewhere, still
finds farming either profitable or
desirable enough to continue
producing. A few will always find it
so, and the world will always be

Maybe they will be the ones who
