“Kansas City, here we come” was the
message of FFA members from all over the
country early last week as more than
11,000 were at Kansas City for the annual
National FFA Convention. Here, the
Cloister FFA Chapter, Ephrata, members
who attended the convention made final
plans before leaving for Kansas City. They
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 Unipel 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-plantmg apphca-
tion of Ortho Unipel Starter Special. You
can apply it as a "dry pop-up" with the seed
at 50 Ibs./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 in
fields suitable for fall plowdpwn (that is,
other than sandy soils, steep slopes, land
that floods, or organic soils), the maximum
loss has been less than 20%.

If your young growing corn in the fields where you have fol

deficiency next spring, we'll correct the deficiency by giv

‘Americans Must Work,’ York Says
“Americans must work to
accomplish the necessary; those
who work must be compensated
justly; and the eligible workers
who elect to do nothing, should
not expect support from those
who labor,” stated a leader of one
of the world’s leading grade “A”
milk bargaining cooperatives.
John C. York, general manager
of Eastern Milk Producers
Cooperative, gave his views on
the current American dilemma
at the Association’s headquarters
in Syracuse, N.Y. recently.
In a prepared statement, York
said, “Labor groups, it has been
reported, are being blamed for
lowering the production per man
hour of this country’s labor force.
Once heralded as the saviors of
the sweat shop working man,
these unions are becoming the
recipients of the wrath of
American voters.
U.S. Meat Inspectors Indicted
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture recently announced
that it has removed from duty 40
federal meat inspectors following
their indictments on bribery and
conspiracy charges by a Federal
grand jury in Boston. USDA said
they would remain off inspection
“One of the reasons for this
change of feeling, I am told, is
due to the wage increases
recently negotiated by certain
union officials without any
consideration of the effect these
settlements would have on the
economy of the nation. Another is
the manner in which certain
leaders have apparently placed
themselves ahead of country
during the wag-price freeze.
“It should also be noted that
management, m its race for
excess profits, cannot be
stamped as lily-white. However,
both labor and management have
been unable to hold down prices,
causing this country’s inability to
compete in world trade. This
dilemma has cost taxpayers
millions of dollars and caused
waves of unemployment in the
United States,” York said.
rolls pending the outcome of
court actions resulting from the
indictments
There are a total of 7,932
Federal meat and poultry in
spectors in the United States.
Officials said an investigation
of the Federal inspection
program in the Boston area was
begun in late 1969 after USDA’s
Consumer and Marketing Service
asked the Office of the Inspector
General - the Department’s
investigative and audit unit - to
look into a possible bribery case.
As the investigation broadened,
the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and other elements of
the U S. Department of Justice,
and the Internal Revenue Service
were brought into the in
vestigation.
In April 1970, a grand jury was
impaneled to consider evidence
being developed by the U.S.
Attorney in Boston, resulting in
the indictments. Three meat
processing companies and six
company officials in the Boston
area also were indicted on
similar charges.
C&MS Administrator Dr.
Clayton Yeutter said that since
USDA has been aware of the
impending indictments for
several week, plans have been
developed for replacing the in
dicted inspectors. He said that a
new group of highly qualified and
experienced inspectors is already
on its way to the Boston area
Egg ‘Features’ Urged
United Egg Producers recently
issued a nationwide call on its
members and the nation’s food
chains toxfeature eggs during the
next two weeks.
Fred Adams, president of the
nationwide federation of egg
marketing cooperatives, an
nounced that all egg producer
members of the UEP affiliates
would be asked to offer features
to their customers for a one to
two week period beginning Oc
tober 10.
He stated that this activity of
UEP was a new approach to
quickly moving small amounts of
surplus from the egg market. He
further noted that cooperation on
a nationwide basis could increase
sales as much as 25 per cent.
