More capital has been
poured into livestock pro
duction in the past five
years. These glass-lined, air- ^
tight storage units will each
hold more than 8,000 bush
els of high moisture grain.
With larger acreages being
cropped, farmers have in- <*
vested more in feed and p
grain handling facilities.

"Deplorable," comments the urbanite out for a Sunday
afternoon drive. In truth, abandoned sub-standard farm
steads are monuments to progress. This farmstead is no
longer needed. The farmland it once served has been
joined with another unit to provide more efficient size and
more adequate incomes to its owners.
Further changes will evolve in the average farm in the
next several years. Among other things there'll be more
large cattle feeding setups in the Midwest similar to this
one now in operation in Illinois. These larger lots will all
be on a continuous feeding program. USDA says the two
million farms that now produce 90% of the farm products
will shrink further in number and become larger in size.
Family farming has been
strengthened by consoli
dation of smaller uneco
nomic farms into larger
units that can provide
sufficient income for such
father and son teams as
the one shown. One of
the most common prob
lems in father and son
farming arrangements
results when income on
one farm is too small for
two families. Larger units
are often the answer.
See what
happens
when you
treat
for Mastitis
Ointment-type treatment globs up in
side the udder. Only antibiotic
particles clinging to the outside of
the ointment masses are available
for fighting mastitis. X-ray photo
shows that even 4 hours after
treatment, ointment treatment is
still in globs.
Liquid Terramycin|8-type formula is
dispersed throughout the quarter.
That's why liquid Terramycin* for
Mastitis gives maximum coverage
. . . and the Terramycin is avail
able for fighting mastitis right
after treatment.
These X-rays of living udders
show you for the first time why
liquid Terramycin-type formula
for Mastitis is so much better.
Only Terramycin for Mastitis with
the liquid formula gives you su
periority in four vital areas:
Goes to work immediately... re
leases all its antibiotic fast for
fighting mastitis.
Gives complete coverage... reaches
farther, faster for maximum con
tact with milk-secreting tissue
throughout the entire quarter.
Milks out fast... does its disease
fighting job, then milks out com
pletely—well within the 72-hour
hold-back period.
Delivers potent antibiotic action
against mastitis germs. In fact, no
drug or antibiotic is more effective
against mastitis-causing organ
isms than Terramycin.
