FALL PASTURES LACK QUAIL
ITY-Don't be fooled by the looks
OF fall pastures. They don't have
the high nutritive value they did
earlier in the season.
High-producing cows will e ed
plenty Of extra stored feed if they
are to maintain top production.
Feed them all the good quality hay
or silage they will eat = and it's
important to start feeding stored
roughage before their production
drops.
Feed grain, too Add enough high
protein supplement feed to your
farm grains to make about a Is
percent protein ration.
GROW WINTER BARLEY =
More farmers should grow winter
barley for use on farms where BAR
ley is we'll suited
Winter barley is a valuable feed
grain. On favorable soils, barley
yields more pounds per acre than
any other small grain
| Because barley natures from one
to two weeks ahead of winter wheat
or winter oats, it favors double
cropping with lima beans and soy
beans. Legume stands have often
been observed to be better in win
ter barley than in other winter
grains.

ties currently recommended.
HAY STRETCHERS- short
age OF hay this fall points to some
things dairymen can do to solve
! the problem.
| 1. Gull low producers, beef
! prices are high, get good price
for beef and save the hay for the
good producers.
/ 2. Sell your bull save the hay
for the herd. Artificial breeding is
cheaper, better and safer
8. Don't buy hay buy corn, bar
ley, citrus or beet pulp as sub
stitue. They are worth twice a
much as good hay but don't cost
twice as much
f. Feed more grain to high pro-
ducing COWS. Good cows properly
| | tyr,
way than limited grain feeding.

with you or their supervisor wher
], ! the machine needs adjustment
!. 8. Watch the worker perform his
: new job until you are satisfied he
: is doing it safely, and check back
occasionally to see if he is still do
ing 1T the safe way
!, A few moments in advance o
give workers some safety pointers
about machines will go long way
to produce harvest of safety for
the workers and YOU
