Show steel tanks, the milk is cooled and stored as soon as it comes from the cow," Mr. Rosenbury said. This retains the milk's flavor and safeguards its purity. The milk is then pumped into tank trucks to bo transported to dairy processing plants. Milk from many farms never sees daylight until tin housewife pours it from the bottle or carton." Utah's dairy leaders cite the use of stainless steel tanks as one of the reasons Utah's milk continues to receive honor roll ratings in biennial tests by the United States Public Health Ser-vicThe Grade A milk supplied Utah's four major marSalt Lake, Ogden, Lokets has rated on gan and Provo the honor roll for many years, said A; W.

Advances in Dairying THE KlAVEK (Utah) FitKSS THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1964 The dairy milk can is noarly a thing of the past on Beaver County Grade A dairy farms. At the banning of March, every Grade A dairy farm in the county was equipped with electric refrigerator stainless steel tanks that cool milk immediately as it comes from the cow. In the entire Great Basin Milk Marketing Area, of which Beaver County is a part, 99.81 of all Grade A milk producers were using the modern refrigerated bulk tanks, according to John B. Rosenbury, Department of Agriculture market administrator. Only two of the area's 1,084 Grade A dairy farms still n can for use the old delivering milk. The Great Basin Marketing Area includes virtually all of Utah north of Beaver, with the exceptions of portions of Cache and Rich counties, and including northeast Nevada, southeast Idaho and Evanston, Wyoming. The percentage of bulk cooling tanks in Utah is far above the national average. According to reliable national estimates, only CO p. rcent of all Grade A farms in the United States are so equipped.

Idea behind the new approach is "a more exact tailoring of nitrogen and other plant nutrients to specific soil and crop quired. Corn, both field and sweet, light frequen: irrigation. 100 tj 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Reduce nitrogen five pounds for each ton of manure applied. If irrigation water is limit?d, pounds of nitrogen psr care. The need for fertilizer will depend of frequency of irrigation and fertility of soil. Following alfalfa fertilizer requirements are low.
