Staley Pledges NFO Action
President of the National
Farmeis Organization, Oren Lee
Staley has declared that the
“hog* lift" demonstiation by
NFO hog producers on the East
coast early in Januaiy was only
a sample of things to come
The faim leader from Rea,
Missouri, stated that ‘the winter
of 1971 will go down in histoiy
as the farmers’ winter of dis
content and action ’’
Staley said, ‘'More American
faimers than ever before are
leahzmg that NFO is their only
hope Faimers backs aie against
the vail and the onlv way out
of agriculture’s economic crisis
is through NFO collective bar
gaining progiams that get down
to the nitty-gritty of raising farm
puces' - ’
The militant farm leader re
counted faimers grievances, say
ing
‘•Faimers must fight the mons
trous food chains that have built
monopolistic powei that permits
them in effect to dictate 15 cent
hogs to the faimer while at the
same time dictating $lOO pork
chops to the housewife ”
“Farmers must no longer tol-
erate fellow f aimers being
squeezed out while wondering
how long before it’s their turn to
be pushed out of their homes
and way of life into overcrowded
cities because they cannot as in
dividuals receive justice at the
marketplace.”
Staley then declared. “Farmers
are ready to back up their de
mands by blocking production
together and putting a price tag
on it so they will become price
makers instead of pi ice-takers
NFO will lead the fight and buy
ers who see the handwriting on
the wall won’t be caught without
NFO contracts that will be filled
by progressive farmers who are
determined to price their prod
ucts.”
The NFO president concluded
the challenge to those who buy
from farmers, .saying, “We aie
demanding economic justice for
farmers and NFO is going to see
the battle through l ”

pings turn from pasty white to

If the pigs are 60 pounds or
up when moved into the finish
ing house, the farmer can get
satisfactory results with an
open fronted finishing building
with a pit This type of facility
can give “pretty satisfactory”
results at only about half the
cost of a controlled environ
ment building, he said.
“If the pig has a waini place
to lie, he will be as efficient
as in a controlled environ
ment,” according to Younkin.
But supplemental heat will
be needed if the pig is under
60 pounds.
The meeting Monday was con
ducted by Max Smith, Lancas
ter County agricultural agent.

WHAT IS
BUX*?
Bux is a carbamate insecticide developed by
Ortho for control of resistant and non-resist
ant corn rootworms.
WHY BUX IS BETTER!
Bux is the only corn rootworm insecticide that
offers all the following advantages;
• Effective, season-long control with a single appli
cation no matter how early you plant, Bux stays
active throughout the hatching and larval stages of
rootworm development.
• Doesn’t leave harmful residues
0 Less hazardous to us. There’s no need to wear
special equipment such as a respirator or goggles,
when using Bux.
• No objectionable odor
• Flows freely through application equipment
• Resists leeching in rainy weather
• Won’t damage application equipment. Bux is
formulated on non-abrasive clay granules. So
there’s no worry of tearing up your pesticide ap
plicator.
• Recommended throughout corn belt. Bux is rec
ommended by University Entomologists in all
states where resistant rootworms are a problem.
