No, I'm not offering to sell you a ton of our
new controlled release liquid supplement for
$l.OO per ton. What I am offering is to con
tribute one dollar to your favorite farm
organization, for each ton of supplement you
buy at the regular price. This offer will continue
from now until June 30.
We all have a stake in Pennsylvania
agriculture and the organizations that promote
and nurture it. 1 believe that these
organizations perform a vital service to farmers
by keeping them up to date on the latest ag
developments. Their educational value is
without limit. And who can deny the con
tribution made to farming by such groups as
FFA, FHA, AND 4-H. That's why I'm happy to
make this offer.
I'm also excited about this new liquid sup
plement. It has proven itself to be more ef
fecient and safer than other liquid sup
plements. Its economy as compared to natural
protein as well other urea based feeds is also
worthy of mention. I hope all farmers will
become familar with the benefits of this new
product.
Why not take me up on this offer? Learn the
benefits of a truly new product and help your
favorite farm group at the same time.

DON'T IT?

Kapleau said he won’t decide
until after meeting with farm
groups and lawyers next week
vhat action the board will take. It
:ould appeal the ruling to the
Supreme Court or hold statewide
nearings with testimony from
consumers and dealers and then
issue another ruling.
Milk dealers have paid farmers
an additional $750,000 in the
month the hike has been in effect,
the milk dealer spokesman said.
He said he expected most dealers
to deduct that amount from their
bills next month.
“Some might say, ‘Keep the
change,’ but I doubt it,” he said.
A spokesman for the Penn
sylvania Farmers Association
said he was “disappointed” by
the ruling.
“We had hoped they would
hand down an order to continue
the increase and go into a full
hearing with the dealers,” he
said.
About 4,000 dairy farmers are
affected by the board price or
ders; the remainder of the 20,000
dairy farmers in the state come
under federal orders.
