ptssure You Euough Gracn for 
Feed Grinders Help 
They add no more nutrients, but 
do help prevent waste. Some ani- 
mals can’t do their own grinding 
too well, meaning that some grain 
passes through without good diges- 
tion—a feeding waste. Grinding 
makes some feed more palatable, 
induces stock to eat more of coarse 
part of the roughages, such as 
stemmy soy bean hay, corn and sor- 
ghum fodders. 
Saving Protein Is Not 
Enough - 
More protein must be produced— 
more high quality hay, better use 
of pasture, more home-grown 
grain. Your grain field is highly 
important. With 600 pounds of 30 
per cent supplement and _ 1,400 
pounds of your own grain, you can 
make a ton of feed with 16 per 
cent protein content. In the pres- 
ent situation, this mixture with 
good hay (with one-third or more 
legumes) will do the feed job. If 
your hay is poor, you’ll need an 
18 per cent protein allowance— 
which you can get by adding 1,200 
pounds of your own grain to 800 
pounds of protein supplement. 
Whatever feed you need—to feed straight, to 
mix, or grind—it takes raw materials to provide 
it. Some farm somewhere has to produce them 
. why shouldn't it be YOURS? 
Oats-growing is not the gamble it used to be. 
Great steps forward have been made in strains 
that do what old types couldn't. Today there is 
new ability to grow more oats to the acre—to 
resist diseases that used to pull the crop down 
to low yields. Too many times and places has 
“feed” oats (called seed") been sown. Its low 
cost per bushel wound up costing the user many 
bushels lost by disease, attacks of rust and 
smut, weak siraw, weed damage. 
Important for oat success: 1—Well-prepared 
seed bed—firm underneath, a few inches loose 
on top, and fertilized as needs demand. 2—Sow 
early. There's a loss of a bushel yield per acre 
for each day lost after you can plant. 3—Use 
enough seed, 9 to 10 pecks by measure (that 
means about 12 pecks by weight, of heavy seed). 
4—Treat seed with Improved Ceresan ... it 
pays! 5—Assure yourself of good, clean seed of 
a proved variety from vigorous parents.
