I DO YOU REALIZE THAT SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER? I
Of course, we are all spending money very cautiously. Necessity and common sense tell us that this is the proper thing to do. If you would realize, however, that to neglect necessary
repairs is very costly, and being able to buy materials at the lowest price in years with ample labor at greatly reduced prices—now is an ideal time to attend to these small things.
How about a new sleeping porch? A new coat of paint? A new garage? It might be that you need a new CERTAINTEED Roof or a new bathroom. Do your floors need repaint
e ing or to be repaired? Let us figure on your requirements. _ >■

THE ENTERPRISE
BUILD FOR THE
NEAR FUTURE
RASIING STOCK
Farmers who have produced excess
amounts of hays, grain and other
feedstuffs in the last two or three
years should begin to slowly add
livestock to their agricultural systems
and not allow the lure of high prices
J for so-called cash crops in the future
' to change them from this course to
i wards better balanced farming.
I "In addition to balancing our j>res
| cut systems of farming, livestock
helps to build soil fertility nd per-
I mits the utilization of non-salable feed
i with profit to the grower," says Karl
I H. Hosteller, in charge of animal
I husbandry investigations at Staje Col
j lege.'' "The eradication of the cattle
I tick has made it possible for us to
| improve the quality of our cattle'over
I large areas but it has also left un
v occupied thousands of acres of native
: grasses and reeds which were former- !
Ily returning some revenue. Many 1
doubt that better bred animals would
return profit on this kind of graz
ing. It is true that animals, like
plants, must be fed and cared for if
they are to thrive and return* a profit
yet, much of this native grazing
should be utilized better than it is at
present."
Mr." Hostetler says landowners in
tick free territory need to know what
| kind of legumes and cultivated grasses
will give them the best results in their
respective sections. North
farmers need also to learn that south
ern protein feeds such as cottonseed
meal could be used to better advan
tage. Northern and western live
stock growers have long been large
users -of these feeds but down *"here
where the feed is grown, it is little
used to grow out finished animals.
