WHO CAN PRODUCE MILK
BETTER THAN A COW?
The answer is obvious . , No one. Now apply
that to building. Who can figure your building
needs better than the people in the building
business? The answer is the same.

More and more outstanding dairy
farmers are turning to the ease and
the economy of loose housing. See

Balanced fertilization of hay
and pasture fields in late
Summer and Fall insures
winter hardiness and early,
rapid and uniform growth
next year. These advantages
add up to yield increases of
at least three-quarters of a
ton of forage per acre.
General recommendations
are for 0-20-i0 on clay soils
and 0-20-20 on lighter land
at 300 lbs. per acre each
year. (If application is not
made each year, larger
amounts are recommended).
Maximize Profits -- set
yield coals and shoot for
them. Fertilizers represent
the most effective means
of increasing yields and
profits.
