Reason for the. about-face is that no case of hog cholera called “swine fever” in England has been reported in the 50 States. over the past year. The hog industry is hoping that other countries that have barred U.S. pork products will follow Britain’s lead.

You don’t guess which worms are present or how many. All the wormer you'll ever need AVAILABLE FROM YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL HEALTH SUPPLIER* <S> Your corn crop is well along. But tough, deep rooted weeds threaten to take over. The earlier you spray Banvel, the better, preferably before hot, humid weather. Even though you spray over the tops of corn, normally no brittleness develops. If you see velvetleaf or pigweed, a lower rate of Banvel mixed with 2,4-D will give most effective control. Banvel works! For one simple reason. Banvel translocates. Absorbed by leaves, stems, roots, Banvel moves with plant fluids from leaf tip to root tip. Destroys as it goes. So, no regrowth. In permanent pasture, Banvel gives you easy control of more than 40 of the most common weeds, including wild garlic, weed brush and weed trees. Cost of Banvel? Up to $1.90 per acre broadcast in corn.
