come back a second time for seed treated with ORTHO Bird Re-

protection for your seed. All you do is pour this repellent right
in with the seed in your planter box.
Actually, you're getting more than bird protection with this prod

It also contains an insecticide to control soil insects such as wire-
worms, seed corn maggots and corn rootworm. And a fungicide
for extra protection against diseases like seedling blight, damp-
off, and seed decay.
This is the only -bird repellent that combines all these protec-
tions. So this year, don't plant for the birds. When you get your

Umble milks 39 head, and

replacement and for sale. He
has been a purebred breeder
since 1948, and described his
Atglen-area farm as a small
operation.
A 13-year-old brood cow, Val
eria Cherrydale Lucifer, was
paraded for the visiting dairy
men by Umble. He explained
that, of her five classified off
spring, none stands lower than
85 points “She also has three
sons in A-I service,” Umble
added.

cows, McCahon utilizes a liquid
manure system and a milking
parlor as additional labor sav
ing factors.
The most unusual feature at
McCahon’s was the lack of any
pasture facilities on the 200-
acre farm. When the cows are
n’t stabled, they are confined
to a small exercise lot.
The final stop on the all-day
tour was at the famed Long
wood Gardens at Kennett
Square.
Chairman of the tour com
mittee was Titus Hurst of Lit

Freeman Recommends
Cut In Dairy Imports
Secretary of Agriculture Or
ville L Freeman is recom
mending to the President that
action be taken to reduce the
volume of dairy products be
ing imported into the United
States
He said he is requesting the
President direct the Tariff Com
mission to undertake an in
vestigation under Section 22 of
the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, as amended, looking to
the establishment of import
quotas on certain dairy prod
ucts not now subject to quotas.
. He pointed out that dairy
'product imports in 1966 total
ed 2 7 billion pounds milk
| equivalent as compared with
• about 9 billion pounds in 1965.
jOf this quantity Junex, which
is a mixture of butterfat and
sugar, and Colby cheese made
up about 18 bilhon pounds
milk equivalent. The Secretary
said this is a 300 percent in
crease m daily imports which
was largely accomplished
through evasion of the current
law He said these imports are
having an adverse effect upon
the price support program, and
will hold down the income of
American daily farmers
Secretary Freeman empha
sized that he considers this a
most urgent issue and that he
is urging the Tariff Commis
sion to begin hearings as quick
ly as possible
“I am confident,” the Secre
tary said “that this prompt ac
tion will relieve piessure on
the income of our dairy farm
ers ”
