Help clinch corn profits with
plow-down application of
Uniper 20-10-1 D fertilizer.
If you’re plowing corn ground this Spring, help clinch this year’s yields and
profits with a single pre-plow application of Unipel 2D-10-10. It’s a program
proved to get results.
Here’s why:
Unipel 20-10-10 is a high-N complete fertilizer suited to high corn
production.
Each Unipel 20-10-10 pellet is a homogenized, precise, complete 3-
course meal.
Unipels’ uniformity enables precise, uniform spreading. Every square
foot of your corn field has a good chance of coming in contact with
several pellets, each one a complete nutrient package.
Each Unipel pellet has quick-acting and long-lasting forms of Nitrogen
and Phosphorus for fast starting and continued nutrient feeding.
5. The intimate Nitrogen and Phosphorus combination in Unipels gives up
to 50% better phosphate uptake than separately-applied N & P.
The result: You lay big-yield groundwork by
providing a sufficient and balanced nutrient
supply for every plant, all season long.
What's more, you’re investing in a proved
fertilization program.
We recommend Unipel 20-10-10 for basic
corn fertilization, because it’s a precise com
plete fertilizer well-suited for today’s precise,
profitable corn production.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday. April 16,-1977
Studies by the American Dairy Association
(ADA), United States Department of Agriculture
and United Dairy Industry Association (UDIA)
have found that added promotional dollars
generated 4.5 to 15 per cent increases in sales for
their products.
in a major UDA-USDA two-j x milk advertising
and sales promotion survey concluded in 1966, an
additional 15 cents per capita investment in six
medium size markets brought a 4.5 per cent sales
increase within a year’s time. This produced $1.68
for each dollar invested by the dairy farmers, or a
68 per cent rate of return for their money.
A Cornell University analysis of ADA and ADA
DC (Dairy Council) of New York milk advertising
and promotion also found more investment
produces more sales.
Small poultry flacks
create health worry
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - -
The recent discovery on
several Maryland farms of
pullorum disease and in
fectious coryza in late 1976
after an absence of 25 years
brings into focus a pendulum
swing which has occurred
among small backyard
flocks over the past
generation, notes Dr. Daniel
E. Bigbee, Extension poultry
technology specialist and
associate professor of
poultry science at the
University of Maryland,
here.
The majority of U.S. farms
until the 1950 s kept small
backyard flocks for meat
and eggs. Typically, the
chickens ran loose during the
summer months, picking up
spilled grain and scratching
for worms. Women and
children gathered the eggs
and fed the laying flock
during the winter months.
Man’s role was generally
to dislike chickens because
he was usually called on to
wring the necks of sick birds
and bury them. “Doctoring"
sick chickens was con
sidered a waste of time.
These small farm flocks
all but disappeared with
development of the modern

The hopelessness of
disease problems all but
disappeared, too, thanks to
research developments and
management techniques
developed at land-grant
universities and by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
In addition, the confinement
technique eliminated the
spreading of certain virus
diseases by starlings and
other wild birds.
Now, the resurgence of
small flocks among the
rapidly expanding nonfarm
rural population and on
small part-time farms has
raised warning signals,
commercial poultry men and
poultry health authorities
and sdentists are worried
that disease epidemics of
former days could return
with a vengence.
Many of them see the
backyard flocks as potential
pools of infection that could
harbor costly losses to a
large-scale oppose backyard
flocks by families living on
or near commercial poultry
farms.
