“The prospect of increased
production in the face of de
creasing per capita consum
ption of fresh fruit calls for
increased promotion and re
search." Ilenaing said. “We
feel the marketing order is the
'best technique to meet the
problem.”
Under the order growers
with 200 or more apple trees
would pay assessments based
on the production volume. A
nine-man advisory board nom
inated by growers would rec
ommend the particular pro
motion, research and infor
mation programs to be sup
ported financially. Assess-
ment rates are: three cents
per bushel of fresh market

LOOK AROUND! See how mony of your neighbors hove chong
ed to Hornco Feeds. Coll us give us a chonce to prove we con
lower your cost of production.

“Service makes the difference
when you buy from the Homco
apples, three centa per hund
redweight for processing app
les and one cent per hundred
weight for cider apples.
“The hearing renewed my
belief that the related but diff
ering problems in the fresh
and processing phases of apple
marketing can be approached
equitably under a single order,
’’Henning said. “Our Depart
ment’s job is to carry out the
wishes of the board and to see
that the order is administered
fairly.’’
Under rules and regulations
announced by Secretary Hen
ning, the balloting will be con
ducted by mail and the votes
will be counted in the pres-
ence ot a committee composed
of “known” proponents and

caster, says “I’m well satisfied with the
Hornco broiler program. During 1961 I
started 85,000 broilers and sold 84,992.
That’s selling 8 less than I started. At an
average age of 9 weeks-4 days, the 4
flocks averaged 3 97 lbs. with a condem-
nation of about 1%. I never had results
this good before I started using Hornco
Feed.”
