tered week needing cattle for
immediate requirements.
Despite a normal Monday supply
and weak carcass trade carrying
over from previous period a
fairly aggressive trade developed
as concern over the possibility of
hazardous road conditions which
would curtail livestock

Ortho Unipel STARTER SPECIAL.
A starter 7 As a “pop-up” 7 It has to be special.
It is. STARTER SPECIAL is a completely unique product.
Here’s why:
- Physical Uniformity. STARTER SPECIAL pellets are made
to the same shape and density for maximum consistency and
control in application
Chemical Uniformity. Each and every STARTER SPECIAL
pellet has all three primary nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium chemically homogenized in precisely the most
desirable ratio. 13-34-10. The nutrients can’t separate or
segregate during handling as with troublesome, hard-to
regulate "dry blends."
Double Duty Nutrients STARTER SPECIAL has both
quick-acting and long-lasting nitrogen and phosphorus for
thorough plant feeding There is no urea or diammonium
phosphate that might endanger the seed through liberation
of free ammonia.
Of course, these features also make it highly effective as
a banded starter. But, with only slight adaptation of most
planters, it can be applied directly with the seed in exacting
measurement for safety and maximum response.
With this kind of control, you apply much less material
only 1/3 the amount needed for banding And the reduced
material handling could cut your planting time in half!
So, save time, trouble, and money at planting time. See M
soon about applying STARTER SPECIAL this spring as a
dry "pop-up".
