Last year, growers all across the corn belt took us up on our
"Green 'n Easy" fall plowdown program Response was so
enthusiastic, we are making the offer again this year
What is "Green 'n Easy?"
Under an Ortho "Green 'n Easy" program for corn, you sim
ply plowdown Ortho Umpel 20-10-10 this fall in the amounts
you determine from exclusive Ortho yield goal formulas
and you'll be through with all of your pre-plant plowdown
of N-P-K
Follow it up next spring with an at-planting apphca-
tion of Ortho Umpel Starter Special You
can apply it as a "dry pop-up" with the seed
at 50 lbs /A and save time and material
handling, while assuring a vigorous start
for your corn crop
What are the chances of nitrogen loss?
Extensive research conducted by corn ex-
perts in every corn-growing state has dem
onstrated time and again that where losses
of fall-applied nitrogen have occurred m
fields suitable for fall plowdown (that is,
other than sandy soils, steep slopes, land
that floods, or organic soils), the maximum
loss has been less than 20%

Ortho stands behind its program
If your young growing corn in the fields where you have fol
lowed the Ortho "Green 'n Easy" program, shows nitrogen
deficiency next spring, we'll correct the deficiency by giv
ing you free enough nitrogen to equal 20% of that which
you applied this fall
Why is Ortho so confident? . . . Unipels!
Ortho Unipels are unlike any other fertilizer on the market
today Umpel pellets are both chemically and physically
uniform No chance for segregation or separation of ingred
ients because every pellet has the same
size, shape, and density and every pellet
contains the precise ratio of N-P-K guaran
teed And the phosphate is fixation resis
tant So, once across the field does it with

people in the audience, he said
they’re examples of “something
fl'ieht.”
He said adults today need to be
sincerely motivated and “deal
gently and with concern” with
young people.
While young people today are
enthusiastic for new ventures and
want to have things done
yesterday, Rev Anderson em

always had this type of energy.
He said adults must not be afraid

to give the guidance which young
people seek
