If used, it should com- prise only front 2.5 to :.' percent of the mixture, for this steal is not palatable. Piglets' further needs include vitamins, minerals, and anti- biotics available in many commercial supplements. Some experiment station workers have even suggested that since the first few weeks of a pig's life are so critical and demanding, specially formulated complete pig starters should be used. Daily consumption per pi', is so small at the start that the investment may b: a wise one, particularly col..pared with trying. to assemble the nccessar\ rr the farm.

I'm all for crop insurance. 1967 was a bad year for Ken Monteith. He had 130 acres of white beans rained out — just before harvesting. Ken was a very discouraged young farmer at that point. And finding the money to start again in 1968 was a problem. After his experience, Ken took advantage of the white bean crop insurance program as soon as it was introduced in 1968 --- and that helped make financing his farm operation easier too. It also paid off when half his '68 crop was wiped out by rain shortly after planting. Apply for Soybean insurance by June 20th. Apply for White Bean insurance by June 25th.
