Let’s look at what has hap pened to the competitive posi tion of America’s steel industry in the last 20 years Twenty years ago in the United States of America we produced 50 per cent of all the steel in the world. Today we produce 20 per i cent of all the steel in the world Twenty years ago the Jap anese, for example, strong com petitors, and we do not com plain about competition, but the Japanese produced over 50 mil lion tons of steel Today they produce 100 million tons of steel Within two years in Japan, they will produce more steel than is produced in the United States of America. The problem’ The problem has to do, of course, with nation al priorities, and it also had to do with productivity and the com petitive capacity of American in dustry. We could go down-the line There are many industries where competitively we have stayed ahead and moved ahead. There are others where we have fallen behind. But the most dramatic, the most exciting statistic of all is what has happened in agricul ture I sat in a meeting recently with a group of America’s business leaders and labor lead- Home,- wrecker of the A termite Don't let this little beast and her friends eat you out of house and home.

This outstanding record is why we make it available —and why we recommend it —in our starter feeds. The advantages of Tylan+Sulfa (such as vibrionic dysentery control, maintaining gains during atrophic rhinitis attacks) makes its use especially beneficial during the early starting period. The better starts possible with Tylan+Sulfa usually result in pigs that are stronger, more vigorous, and bigger than they might be without this added assis tance. Healthy pigs like this are worth more. Yes, it does pay to feed Tylan+Sulfa ... for both immediate and long range benefits. F. M. BROWN'S SONS, INC Birdsboro, Pa. Fleetwood, Pa.
