2Q-Lanca»tar Farmii Milk | Continued Ima P*f I| percent goes into manufacturing uaes and commands a lower price. The farmer's milk check shows the blend price, the price attained by adding the milk sold for class 1 and that sold for class 2. Because utilization and the Minnesota-Wisconsin price both differ from month to month, the market ad ministrator must wait until after the end of a month to announce the blend price. Milk handlers in Order 4 must report their usage figures for each month to Shine’s office by the eighth day of the following month. Shine’s office then an nounces the blend price by the 13th. Different dairies use different amounts of class 1 and class 2 milk. If each milk handler paid its farmers according to that particular handler’s usage, then some fanners would be paid the class 1 price for all their milk, and some would get the 2 price for all their milk. That, some would say, is free enterprise. But Hand and Shine and other sup porters of the Federal Order system say that route leads to chaos in the milk market Homeowners cut mowing time in half with commercial rider On the Yazoo pictured above, you can Now one man docs it in a day and a half mow up to 16 acres in a day You don’t on a Yazoo " follow it with a trim mower It does it all W G “Buck” Siler, who is pro-owner You can trim under low-hanging shrubs of Longview Golf Club ,n Greensboro, in a senes of nimble passes, many times NC.says, With the tractor, I was using faster than a man with a walk mower two hand mowers tnmmmg continuously You can cut a clean radius nght around dunng the «*s° n After I got the Yazoo, a tree-lrunk or a pole Tnm the edges of we had one hand mower tnmmmg two , g. to three hours a week j* jgm sJjm Commercial vs.“ Homeowner” Sizr.kJn. hP ~ jliaanHj*** When machines break down, wages go JOABuBB That's why commercial men don't buy “homeowner” machines They can’t afford ponds, embankment, curbs Around flow- to EveryUnng in aV^oo ■« er beds, pipe stands, under benches, along mmnromie walls and fences, in and out of ditches In In P resl( jenUal use corners In high grass or low Evenly layout Beautifully Without scalping or skipping lifetime * When You’re Done Riding, You’re Done Mowing.

So, all Order 4 handlers are required to pay the same price (or all milk they receive, and that price is the blend price. For handlers who sell most of their milk as bottled product, this represents a bargain, because the value of bottled milk, the class 1 price, is higher than the blend price. For handlers who produce dairy products with the milk they buy, this price represents a burden, because the price for manufacturing milk is always below the blend price. Therefore, the bottlers pay into an equalization fund, administered by Shine, an amount equal to the dif- Satun $ 52 Strawberries A Lancaster County 4-Her became $lO3 richer this week when his boxes of grand champion strawberries sold for a record $52 and $5l per box at the Lancaster Rotary Club. Richard Yunginger, Marietta, sold his grand champion beauties to Andy’s Catering and to William Heyn. Mary Yunginger, Marietta R 1 exhibited the reserve grand champion berries which brought a total of $37. James Snavely bought ference between the market value of the milk • its daas 1 price - and the blend price. This money la then turned over to the manufacturers who had to pay more for their milk than it was ac tually worth to them as manufacturing milk. Most handlers have some class 1 and some dais 2 uses every month, so in one month a particular handler may pay into the pool and the next month he may draw out of it. While the seminar was held to introduce farm writers to the complex subject of milk pricing, many of the speakers there pointed out that there are still a few farmers that don’t understand how milk is priced under the Federal Order system. one box at $27 with the remainder being purchased by Clair Sinuneral for $lO.

Paraquat stubble planting is the moisture-saving way to get soybeans off to a fast, vigorous start. There’s no plowing or disking, so soil at planting depth isn’t dried by sun and wind The moisture saved improves chances of getting an early, uniform stand Your beans will probably emerge to a full stand well ahead of your neighbor’s conventionally planted crop. You get the above advantages .. . and more . . by planting directly into undisturbed crop stubble and weeds A pre-emergence application of ORTHO Paraquat CL is all you need to prepare your seedbed. Paraquat knocks down even heavy surface vegetation, killing annual weeds and grasses and burning back perennials Soybeans emerge without competition for moisture and nutrients and there’s more moisture to get ’em on their way Eliminating preplant tillage also holds cockleburs in check You don’t turn under cocklebur seeds on the soil surface .or turn up seed that can germinate later. Using Paraquat (alone or with Lorox®) instead of plowing and disking also saves time, labor and equip ment . conserves fuel . cuts production costs by $5 to $lO per acre reduces compaction and improves chances of early planting TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL STUBBLE PLANTING Field Selection. Select fields with heavy soils Avoid fields that are deeply rutted or infested with Johnson grass, Bermudagrass, Smartweed or Marestail If there are top many of these weeds to spot treat, use mechanical tillage and rotate between conventional and stubble planting Before Planting. Apply 2,4-D if fields are infested with broadlcaf weeds Spray at least 90 days before planting At Planting.
