K You Get Miik You Must Feed Cows, ' Z'Kf iMl ' ' ? LJLwf-' Says Producer Of Manufacturing Milk "If you get milk from your cows, you've got to feed them," says H. C. Eller of Purlear (Wilkes County). Mr. and Mrs. Eller have been selling manu facturing milk for nearly thirty yean. The Eller's winter feed pro gram consists mostly of corn silage and a small amount of good hay and a grain ration that he has mixed, at the mill. Eller's secret for getting top production from all of his cows is feeding them all the silage they want. The condition of their cows in late April shows that they have been well fed. He provides about seven tons of silage for each cow for winter feeding. Dog Trench Silo In 1961 Two years ago Eller had a trench silo dug close to his barn 40 feet long, 10 feet wide and 0 feet deep which holds close to 70 tons of silage. Up until that time winter milk pro duction was pretty low a* com pared to production on silage. Last year he got a good yield of silage from Pioneer 309-A Hybrid Corn. - He planted six acres and what wasn't put in the silo was shucked out to be used in making his dairy feed. Other improvements that were made that same year (1961) were the construction of an ele vated milking parlor, the instal lation of a cow-to-can milking machine and a mechanical milk cooler. This was all put into a new shed built onto the barn. With this equipment and the MR. AND MBS. H. C. ELLER LOOK OVER DAIRY HERD fact that they qualified for the volume premium, they received an additional 40 cents per hun dred pound* more for the milk this past winter. Mrs. Eller does the milking and says that she "wouldn't be able to do it without the milk ing machine and elevated par lor." Before building their par lor Mrs. Eller milked about six or seven cows, and this year she plans on milking 13 cows. The income from the sale of manufacturing milk with these additions and improvements has more than doubled. The Eller's 70-acre farm has about 30 acres of good improved pasture which is fertilized fre quently with chicken litter. "I like to feed cows," says Eller, and he's doing Just that with good pastures in the summer and plenty of silage in the winter. 96% Local Farmers Vote For Wheat Plan voting in the wheat referen dum was heavy in North Caro lina. 70,112 farmers voted in this State with 81% in favor. Watauga County ha<i all eligi ble farm operators voting with a total of 81 votes cast, thanks to, hud work ol the county com mittee, community committee men and referendum commit tees. 96% favored the wheat program in this county.
