FUNK'S G-HYBRIDS FOR SILAOE
The same fine characteristics which make Funk's
G-Hybrids so ideal for high yields of quality
gram, also make them the perfect choice for
producing quality silage. s
When grown following good silage man
agement practices. Funk's G-Hybnds have the
capacity to produce silage with a high gram
to-forage ratio, high in TDN.
The outstanding silage potential of Funk's
G-Hybrids has been repeatedly proven by the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Progress Days Silage
Competition where, for a consecutive number
of years, they have consistently received the
top honors.

assistant Lancaster County ag agent. It
was the second straight year that Royer
won the county's top 4-H dairy record
keeping award.
Or Cattle To Gain More!
For 1972, do not accept less than the proven
performance of Funk's G-Hybnds for silage.
Every Funk's G-Hybrid offered for 1972
planting—including, without excep
tion, the many important new varieties
has been an important part of
farmers' corn growing programs in
1971. Not just in small experimental
plantings, but in full-farm-profit pro
duction. This allows you to be certain
the hybrids you choose for 1972 are
proven!

U.S. Helps Turkey
Cut Opium Trade
In Ankara recently, Secretary
of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin
presented a report to the Turkish
Minister of Aguiculture outlining
profitable alternatives to' the
production of the opium poppy.
The report was drafted by
Hardin and nine top U.S.
agricultural experts who formed
a study team convened by
President Nixon at the request of
Turkish Prime Minister Nihat
Erim. The team worked closely
with Turkish experts in
developing a series of recom
mendations to improve farm
income in Turkey.
The mission followed the
President’s June 30 pledge to put
this nation’s best technical brains
at the disposal of Turkey. His
pledge was prompted by Erim’s
announcement that poppy
cultivation in Turkey will end in
1972—a decision the President
called a “courageous
statesmanlike action.”
At his meeting with Minister of
Agriculture Orhan Dikman,
Secretary Hardin noted that the
team report recommended a
combination of wheat, feed
grains, oilseeds, and livestock
enterprises as the most profitable
alternatives to the opium poppy
crop.
Secretary Hardin stated, “We
have in these recommendations a
sound plan for the agricultural
development of the seven
province region. If fully im
plemented, the would enhance
income far in excess of losses
resulting from the cessation of
poppy cultivation.”
Other recommendations in
cluded using submarginal
cultivated lands for pasture and
forage crops, full utilization of
existing irrigation facilities, and
the development of supplemental
employment programs.
