Y A CLASSIFIED AD - IT PAYS!
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 applica-
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 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 "Creen 'n Easy" program, shows nitrogen
deficiency next spring, we'll correct the deficiency by giv
ingyou 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 Unipel pellets are both chemically and physically
uniform No chance for segregation or separation of mgred-
lents 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
Unipels'
You can't lose!
Protect your fall fertilizing investment
this year with a "Green 'n Easy" fall plow-
down program from your participating
Ortho dealer. Vis't with him soon and learn
if your fields qualify.

on is Paul Burkhart, Manheim RD3. Martin
was master of ceremonies at the Blue Ball
banquet.
year, York said he doesn’t see
much change for 1972 He said he
“sees nothing that will make
prices go up, but you never know
in an election year.”
He said Eastern would like to
see a national sliding price for
mula which would cause milk
prices to change automatically as
costs of production change, as the
consumer’s buying ability
changes, and as wholesale price
levels change This would be a
way of protecting farmers
against inflation and rising costs,
York explained
Looking farther into the future
in the next 10 years, some
problems he sees include dif
ficulty in finding enough farmers
as the average age of farmers
continues to rise, problems Irom
the ecology movement, in
creasing pressures Irom ur
banization, problems for milk
plants in developing necessary
waste disposal programs
He also noted that a proposed
national blend price program
would cost northeast dairymen 10
to 20 cents per hun
dredweight This money would go
to midwest dairymen under a
national program because the
midwest currently is where most
of the milk is used for class II
products, York explained
York also expressed concern
about proposals to abolish the U
S. Department of Agriculture and
to make the Pennsylvania Milk
Board part of a consumer group
“How far are we going to go in
abolishing farming 9”
He continued, “I think it’s a lot
of nonsense to say that the price
of milk is too high Anyone who
tries to get the price lowered is
doing it for the benefit of the
consumer and at the expense of
the farmer ”
York stated that both dog food
and distilled water in New York
City are more expensive than
milk.
In commenting on the proposed
state milk referendum, York said
it is assumed that a referendum
will be held He stated that
Eastern Milk Producers will use
its bloc vote against the proposed
mandatory deduction of five
cents per hundredweight from
every farmer’s milk check for
promotion of milk.
York said a mandatory
program does not allow the in
dividual farmer to get out. “You
can get out of Eastern, you can
get out of a voluntary program.”
He also stated, “I visualize that
if a program is adopted some of
the money may be used against
the handlers you’re selling to ”
In explaining the bloc vote
division of the proposed
referendum, York explained that
it allows the cooperative to vote
its entire membership in a cer
tain way. The individual farmer
will still get a ballot, however,
and individual farmers who
oppose their cooperative’s
decision will have their votes
subtracted from their
