Ask the Old Farmer. I would
like to know how salt gets into
the seas' salt water 7 WCD,
Beaver Falls, Pa
Nobody really knmvs Some say
there are huge salt deposits uvder the
sea-bottom Others claim that any
water that lacks sufficient flow of
fresh from springs will become salty
after a while But all agree that sea
water produces life because it is so
much like blood in various ways and thus they say that God arranged it
that way for His own particular purposes Wt have to be content with
that answer

We at Producers Pride aren't trying to start any revolutions.
But if you're an independent egg producer—-or if you’d like
to be —we can help you get the kind of freedom you want
without jeopardizing your income.
Producers Pride is a cooperative. It’s owned and controlled
entirety by producers who want a voice in how their eggs
are marketed. We've been in business since 1932. For over 34
years, Producers Pride members have been getting paid
every week for their previous week's egg shipments. We have
never, ever missed a week
When you join Producers Pride, you become part owner
of the business. And since we’re not a giant co-op, your voice
as an owner is important
You’ll be joining a small organization—fewer than 2(10
pVoducers—but we have the volume to service a growing
market And our markets are growing, thanks to the dedicated
efforts ol a small bat hard-working and very capable staff.
We are your f riends and neighbors in the egg business.
We enjoy being independent,, and we enjoy having a
guaranteed market for our eggs.
This is the year for independence, and Producers Pride
is looking for a few more good members, If you’d like more
