Food Shopping Tip
Beside fresh produce, many
other foods have seasons, says
Harold Neigh, Penn State exten
sion specialist in consumer eco
nomics. Foodshoppers who know
the seasons of various foods and
take advantage of price reduc
tions can cut their food costs.
Canned and frozen fruits and
vegetables usually are less ex
pensive just after the end of the
harvest season Lower prices are
found again in the spring if car
ry-over stocks are large. Pork is
usually in heaviest supply in the
fall

Ortho Unipel STARTER SPECIAL.
A starter 7 As a “pop-up ’ 7 It has to be special.
It is STARTER SPECIAL is a completely unique product.
Here’s why
Physical Uniformity STARTER SPECIAL pellets are made
to the same shape and density for maximum consistency and
control in application
Chemical Uniformity Each and every STARTER SPECIAL
pellet has all three primary nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium chemically homogenized in precisely the most
desirable ratio 13-34-10 The nutrients can’t separate or
segregate during handling as with troublesome, hard-to
regulate “dry blends ’
- Double Duty Nutrients STARTER SPECIAL has both
quick-acting and long-lasting nitrogen and phosphorus for
thorough plant feeding There is no urea or diammonium
phosphate that might endanger the seed through liberation
of tree ammonia.
Of course, these features also make it highly effective as
a banded starter But, with only slight adaptation of most
planters it can be applied directly with the seed m exacting
measurement for safety and maximum response
With this kind of control, you apply much less material
only 1/3 the amount needed for banding And the reduced
material handling could cut your planting time in half!
So, save time, trouble, and money at planting time. See U 3
soon about applying STARTER SPECIAL this spring as a
dry “pop-up".
