TO AIM FOR HIGHER YIELDS Greater output per acre must be the goal in the future. We only have so much land, but most agronomists feel that greater yields are in the future The far mer should know his soils and meet the needs Also, use quality seeds and get the work done on time. Timing is very important on all practices for higher yields Disease and insect control is a 1 must” for greater yields With the pressure for maximum food and fiber output per acre growing each year, we need top management practices for higher yields and greater profits Be a “Johnny On The Spot” and get the jobs done when and how they should be- that’s good farm management Superstructure. Some say G-4606 is "iron tough” With stalks that stand straight and true ’til harvest And roots anchored firm and deep It’s so tough that it thrives on thicker popu lations than normal, to let you push for higher yields It really turns out the bushels of high-quality HOFFMAN SEEDS.

Stone calls reserve, loan rates WASHINGTON, D.C - The nation’s farmers and consumers would benefit from a strong far mer-held reserve and realistic commodity loan program, George W Stone, president of the National Farmers Union, told President Reagan during a White House meeting last Friday “In order to keep a balanced supply of food, we need realistic loan rates and a strong farmer held gram reserve. Loan rates set at realistic levels would help prevent the boom and bust cycle in the markets and in the long run would help both farmers and consumers, the president of the Denver-based family farm organization said Stone told President Reagan that farmers could appreciate the need for a balanced federal budget and the need to reduce inflation. “But we are very concerned about the survival of family farming,” Stone added. Stone noted that Reagan Ad ministration representatives also attending the meeting, stressed the need for cutting the federal budget to bring the budget back into balance “President Reagan told us that SMUCKER’S SALES t SERVICE RD #2, BOX 21 NEW HOLLAND, PA 17557 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦■♦ - ~|r —toff* .f\ j rffi 2Cyl F2L-912 We Have SR2I2 tip.

Special Trade Representative William Brock indicated that the Reagan Administration would seek to open us new trade areas “The export market is a two way street We (the United States), can’t put a wall up around ourselves,” he said Stone indicated that the dairy support program will be looked at as an area for budget cutting “It’s gomg to be very tough to keep the dairy program we have now,” Stone said.
