King Kamehameha I Day
June is ‘Try a Papaya” month in Hawaii, and time to
honor King Kamehameha on June 11, the warrior
king who united the Hawaiian chain of islands early
in the 19th century. Festivities usually start a week
before with the lei-draping of his statue in downtown
Honolulu. Originally formed by the activity of undersea
• volcanoes, Hawaii still boasts the world’s
* largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, consid
/Jss ered due for another eruption. It last blew
its top in March and April 1984, when
ml/ \ it threatened the city of Hilo.
VST* Nearby Kilauca, which shares a
_Sss= — common source of magma on
the Hawaiian hot spot, has
been in constant, quiet eruption since January 1983.
God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform.

In the dairy business, income over feed cost is the name of the game Pro-Lix liquid feed supplements
offer dairymen the means to maximize this value while getting the most from their cow’s natural abilities
A Pro-Lix liquid feed supplements are concentrated sources of just what ordinary feeds lack protein, energy,
(g) vitamins, minerals - everything animals need for economical milk production and growth
A For replacement heifers, Pro-Lix means faster maturity and assurance that they'll get to the milking herd
(g) on time If you trust your heifers to forage alone, they might not make it (Bouvatec Is Available)
A For lactatmg cows, the nitrogen content of Pro-Lix means plenty of protein available for milk production
(.5) and growth
. Finally, for dry cows, Pro-Lix not only helps maintain their health during the dry period it prepares them for
A the next lactation. The Ca-P ratio in Pro-Lix helps control milk fever, while the Vitamin E and selenium aids
