in generous

urch Sunday.
Position would need to be ad-
justed for the different classes
of farm animals. The rather
abrasive tongues of cattle call
for harder block formation
than the less abrasive tongues
of other livestock. Protein
blocks I have seen, seemed to
be high in limestone or calcium
carbonate, containing up to 18
percent    f
This means that if is cow
chewed or licked only one pound
daily of the block, she would
consume 0.18 pound of the lime-
stone or 28 grams of elemental
calcium. This is already in ex-
cess of the requirement accord-
ing to accepted feeding stand-
ards and would be further
augmented proportionately if
she ate 2 pounds of the protein
block to better balance ner ra-
tion. To be sure, cattle tolerate
considerable calcium.
Trace minerals present an-
other problem. What should be
the level? Again it comes down
to the probable daily consump-
tion of the block by cattle.
Cobalt, iodine and zinc are
three of the trace minerals
most prevalently needed by cat-
tle. Fortunately farm animals
have a wide tolerance for each
of them if by chance they
should be consumed two or
three times in excess of re-
quirement.
At any rate, protein blocks
ease the work load on farms
and even permit the luxury of
“week-end farming’’ for those
cattlemen who live in town.
Quenion i What is the best
way of drying off a cow? (
Answeri Many dairymen
have stopped milking abruptly
when a cow produced less than
20 pounds milk a day and if
all quarters of the udder are
sound. Others dry off gradually,
milking once a day, then once
every other day. Feed may have
to be reduced for persistent
milkers.

A tax-paying, Inv
Hilmar Reiley Is a typical Texas
;wheat farmer. He raised his
spring wheat profits four ways
with the Economaster Plan. So
can you. Here’s how using
Economaster in the fall paid
off for Mr. Reiley:
1.    Higher yields. Mr. Reiley’s
125 acres of wheat produced a
substantial yield increase using
the Economaster Plan. But
that's not what made the real
dollars and cents difference.
2.    More grazing .... in addi-
tion to an outstanding wheat
yield, Mr. Reiley was able to
graze 90 head of cattle for 110
days without supplemental
feed. The Economaster Plan
made this possible. .
3.    Premium prices — tests
prove that wheat fertilized with
Anhydrous Ammonia has a
higher protein and sedimenta-
tion value. The Economaster
Plan allows you to market your
wheat for premium prices. %
4. Lowest cost fertility pro-
gram ... anhydrous ammonia
is the lowest cost form of nitro-
gen ... pound for pound ...
of any other product you can
buy ... anywhere!
Add it ail up. You’ll come to
the same conclusion Mr. Reiley
did. Economaster is the fertil-
ity plan for your wheat! Here’s
why:
•    Economaster uses anhy-
drous ammonia ... made right
here in Texas ... for the most
concentrated source of nitro-
gen money can buy.
•    The Economaster Plan
balances high analysis .nitro-
gen with the proper mix of
phosphate and potash for top
crop yields.    ^
• Economaster paid divi-
dends to Hilmar Reiley four
ways. It can help you too. ;

master dealer In this area. Our
