ANNOUNCING AN ECONOMICAL SOIL FERTILITY MEETING Place: Blue Ball Fire Hall, Intersection of Rt. 322 & 23, Lancaster County, Pa. Time: Wednesday, May 24,1978 at 1:00 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. Dealer and distributor applicants can get details in the intermission period They are welcome because the country desperately needs the help that Agnspon can give rather than going to Uncle Sam who is also broke The Agnspon Company president plans to be here and some other speakers with experience and natural soil fertility knowledge. There is much to learn about soil and disease prevention We may be able to get a certain out of state vet who is good in understanding the relationship between soil and animal disease WATCH NEXT WEEK’S AD! Agnspon fertility draws plenty nitrogen out of the air for a heavy crop and releases phosphorus and pot ash that was formally unavailable How do we know? By soil analysis and the proof of the pudding is in the yielding. $6.50 worth (actually worth much more) out produced 800 lbs. fertilizer on corn, Cambell soup vegetable experiment and others. AFTER PLANTING is a good time to apply Agnspon and Soil Conditioner. We at ORGANIC CENTER are dedicated to help farmers prepare for survivial when oil and fertilizer prices will inflate still more and pestilences get worse. If you or your son want to be a Future Farmer of America, you had better prepare ahead Our good products help both ways and not just a little. If you knew the advantages you would change. Come to the meeting and learn. SOIL CONDITIONER works very well with AGRISPON and costs only $2.70 an acre. It opens up the soil quickly in a few months or weeks down deep for water holding capacity like a sponge, and root penetration to go down and get the water in that sponge. Think of the potential in a drought l And it breaks the hard pan quickly under a swamp so it can dram, often times in half a week. It has good reasons for selling fast like it does AGRISPON is a live product and provides life to the soil, producing quality crops with much nutrition. It has one function, SOIL CONDITIONER has another. They blend well. HUGE VEGETABLE MARKETS are within 100 miles. A big wholesaler at Trenton would love to come and pick it up if we had a steady supply and quality. Let us show him what Agnspon can do this year for a big market next year You should practice growing because Northeastern produce will suddenly become in great demand because of distribution problems Thousands of farmers will then wish they had a crop of vegetables to sell and the city folks will also wish it “I was hungry and ye gave me no food,” Matt 25 We want to take your produce to the tail gate market in Phila 4 days a week, starting in July. Organic will get preference but need not be exclusive But a much greater market exists if farmers would work together We will invite the produce buyers to be at the meeting to talk with veg. growers in the intermission period between the 1 o'clock and 7 30 sessions, lets say 3 30. Here is your opportunity if you have children In the soon coming crash factories will go broke and people will not need luxuries, but they will have to eat to live, regardless if gas is too high priced for trucks to go to Calif The world situation is different from 1929. In the next crash food will be at a premium before it is all over At least prepare to feed the people. We sell solar food dryers for $39 95 and $ll6 95 depending on size Don’t depend on the deep freeze We never know what will happen ORGANIC CENTER nSSKES, Ph: 717-354-7064.
