Pennsylvania has been for
tunate for the past five years or
so, experiencing rather mild
winters with no appreciable ef
fect on the deer herd. Even so,
there has been some loss of
wildlife due to starvation, and
a harsha winter this year could
have more pionounced effects
on whitetails.
The state’s deer range should
normally support a herd which
would produce an annual an
tleied deer harvest of about
35,000 to 40,000 bucks But for
the past seven consecutive hunt
ing seasons the buck haivest
has been near or well above 50,-
000, indicating that the popula
tion has ben considerably above
the ideal level.
Hunters have been accustom
ed to large harvests, but they
should expect that it will be
necessary to reduce the white
tail supply in order to protect
the range and the animals
I themselves.

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 mads
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 diammomum
phosphate that might endanger the seed through liberation
of free 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 in 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 US
soon about applying STARTER SPECIAL this spring as a Jk
dry “pop-up’’. ’
