Fertilizer Supply Seen Same As Last Year’s Net domestic supplies of fer- year’s supply, tilizer materials in 1972-73 are Estimated supplies of N will expected to total 19.0 million tons total 8,993,000 tons, up 3 percent; of plant nutrients - nitrogen (N), P 205, 5,303,000 tons, down 2 phosphate (P 205), and potash percent; and K2O, 4,699,000 tons, (K2O). This is the same as last down 3 percent. r jamTs™"^ {Volume-Belt Cattle Feeder| Only 1-1/2 hp. Up to 250 Feet I Big Capacity Belt Carries Feed | Works In-Barn or Out jgi y Penn.

Kinzer LONGENECKER FARM SUPPLY Rheems canyon? CHAS. J. McCOMSEY &SONS Hickory Hill, Pa. LANDIS BROS., INC, Lancaster Production rate for anhydrous ammonia during the first 6 months of the fertilizer year was near that of last year. Solid ammonium nitrate production was up about 2 percent and ammonium sulfate production down about 2 percent. Production rates for urea, nitrogen solutions, and N-P materials ranged from 10 to 17 percent over last year. Production rates for nitrogenous materials are ex pected to continue at rates above those of last year provided marketing channels can make room for them. Production of anhydrous ammonia is expected to rise to levels above last year to support the increased production of nitrogenous materials and the merchant anhydrous ammonia market. Wet-process phosphoric acid production during the first half of the year was about 2 percent ahead of last year. Ammonium phosphate production was up 11 percent while concentrated superphosphate was down 4 percent. This relationship could change during the second half of the fertilizer year because of changes in domestic and world market needs. Producers have some choice on whether to use limited quantities of phosphoric acid in ammonium phosphate or concentrated superphosphate. The normal superphosphate supply is expected to be about the same as last year. About two-thirds of the net domestic supply of potassium chloride is expected to be im ported, primarily from Canada. That’s how grain farmers feel about Uni. They like what it does, spending on their needs, it lets them plant nd harvest self-propelled, make haylage and silage self-propelled, make ear corn feed, even remove snow quick and easy self-propelled. vmi*- J f } v J If you haven’t seen Uni lately, stop in.

HERSHEY & SON Manheim Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 26,1973 Domestic supplies are expected to be up about 2 percent in sup port of an expected increase in exports. The potassium sulfates are expected to be about the same as last year. The spring season is more clouded than usual. In addition to the ever present risk of un favorable weather, the shortage of railroad cars for moving fertilizers to consuming areas and the possible shortage of fuel for operating farmers tractors could have an adverse influence on the quantities of fertilizer used by farmers. This can be minimized through favorable weather and the use of tran sportation and fuel resources as efficiently as possible. Anhydrous ammonia facilities were operated at about 90 percent of total capacity during the first 6 months of the fertilizer year. Wet-process phosphoric acid facilities were operated at about 95 percent of capacity. Anhydrous ammonia capacity is PSEA Head Asks ‘Mature Approach' by Local Boards Robert C. Baldis, new president of the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) called on local school boards to “reverse their negative attitudes” and “take a mature approach to solving today’s educational problems” during the PSEA teacher-delegate convention recently in Pitt sburgh. During the convention, delegates went on record as opposing any merger of teacher organizations that would require affiliation with AFL-CIO. Earlier, PSEA outgoing president, Richard A. deßethizy had called for a merger of “aU rival teacher organizations into one stronger, independent, autonomous group.” Deßethizy, however, stressed that such a merger should result in an independent and autonomous group that would be devoid of affiliation of any Wireworms and don’t have a Using Diazinon as a broadcast or in your transplant water stops wireworms.

Phosphoric acid capacity is to be expanded 1,250,000 tons of P 205 by January 1975. Exports of N, P 205, and K2O are expected to be 22 to 36 percent more than last year. Phosphate rock exports were up 6 percent over last year which means export of about 14.4 million tons if the trend contnues. U.S. exports of plant nutrients going to countries with AID agricultural programs were up 37 percent over last year. About 57 percent of all plant nutrients exported (excluding phosphate rock) went to these countries in 1971-72 compared with 45 percent a year earlier. These countries received 54 percent of the N, 65 percent of the P 205, and 48 percent of the K2O. However, AID did not finance all these shipments. Brazil received 44 percent of the plant nutrients going"to AID countries, but none of them were financed by AID. requirement that teachers adhere to the policies and actions of other organizations when they are not in the best interest of education and the teaching profession. “We have formed local IPD Councils because teachers have said time and time again that they are tired of being the butt of criticism about education,” he stated. “We call on local school boards to reverse their negative at titudes, to take a mature ap proach to solving today’s educational problems, and to recognize the expertise of their professional staffs,” he said. “This country is where it is because of the public school system and what teachers have done to prepare youth for a productive role in society. It’s time the public recognizes this achievement.” Cutworms chance Ph. 397-3539 19
