USDA’s Consumer and

effect for May through October to

shrinkage allowance from 0.5 to 2
per cent. The suspension has
been extended through April 1972.

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-planting applica-
tion of Ortho Umpel 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 co r n-growmg 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%

issue of milk shrinkages, and to
take appropriate action.
Notice of the proposed con
tinuation of the suspension was
published in the Federal Register
October 22, and no one has op
posed it, C&MS officials said.

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 mgred-
lents because every pellet has the same
size, shape, and density and every pellet
contains the precise ratio of N-P-K guaran

Educate Doctors on Cholesterol
Poultry and Egg National Borad. The
money from the Federation is earmarked
for use as a part of an egg industry sup
ported advertising campaign pointing out
to the medical profession the tremendous
value of eggs in their patients’ diets.
Helps
The Pennsylvania Poultry
Federation, Pennsylvania’s
“United Voice of the Poultry
Industry,” has joined with egg
producers across the country in
an industry-wide response to the
cholesterol issue
The Federation has presented
to the Poultry and Egg National
Board, the industry’s national
organization, a check for $1,500,
earmarked for the 30-60
Cholesterol Club program.
With cholesterol “scares”
taking a continuing toll on egg
consumption throughout the
country, the 30-60 Club was
formed to combat the dispensing
of misinformation at a primary
source, the medical profession.
The name “30-60” refers to the
amount of money in thousands of
dollars needed to conduct an
effective advertising campaign
aimed at medical people through
the “Journal of the American
Medical Association” for 6 to 12
months periods respectively.
The ads are designed to remind
Medical Association members
that their own Council on Food
and Nutrition has declared that
there is not sufficient information
available on cholesterol to
warrant a change in the
American diet. At the same time,
the ads point out the tremendous
nutritional value of eggs to all
people of all ages in all walks of
life.
Dr. L. A. Wilhelm, president of
the Poultry and Egg National
Board, said, “The participation
of the Pennsylvania Poultry
Federation in the 30-60 Club will
serve as a significant catalyst in
getting the program fulfilled.”
He thanked all members of the
Federation and praised their
active regard for their industry.
The Pennsylvania Poultry
Federation is comprised of
concerned broiler and egg
producers and allied industry in
the state Poultry and egg people
who are not already members
should contact the Federation
office at 3807 Paxton Street,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17111.
