The Bottom Line
As everybody knows the bottom line represents your profit or
loss, and at WALTER M. DUNLAP AfaD SONS we do all we can to
enhance your profit or minimize your loss.
How do we do it?
The answer is in the way all livestock consignments are expertly
sorted and handled whether those consignments are fat cattle,
veal calves, feeder pigs or fat hogs.
The result is LESS SHRINK.
First of ail, every consignment of feeder pigs, veal calves and
fat hogs is weighed upon arrival. So, with LESS SHRINK, and at
present prices, this means MORE DOLLARS for you the con
signor.
Secondly, ail fat cattle are assigned large pens and each con
signment is kept separate. With large airy pens and water
available the result is LESS SHRINK.
And just one more matter of importance There is no waiting
at the docks to unload.
What does all this add up to?
The bottom line is LESS SHRINK and more dollars to you the
consignor.

USD A reduces Medfly
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
number of square miles in
California under aerial pesticide
treatment for Mediterranean fruit
fly has been reduced to reflect
progress made in eradicating the
pest, U.S. Department of
Agriculture officials said.
“We’ve dropped the areas with
no recent fly finds from our
treatment blocks,” said Harvey L.
Ford, deputy administrator of
USDA’s Animal and Plant Health

Inspection Service, which
manages the program with
California’s Department of Food
and Agriculture.
According to Ford, about 210
sauare miles will still be sprayed
over the winter months, but on a 2-
week schedule? rather than
weekly. About 1,300 square miles
were under treatment in California
at the height of the infestation last
summer.
“In addition, some other
program elements will be scaled
down to reflect the seasonal
decrease in fly activity,” he said.
According to Ford, close to 100,000
Medfly traps remain in the state.
Those in areas of recent fly finds
will be serviced weekly, as before,
while others will go on a 2-week
schedule.
“Barring unexpected finds, we
will remain on these treatment and
trapping schedules until warmer
temperatures trigger increased fly
activity in the spring,” he said. “At
that time, we may pick up flies in
scattered locations, and if con
ditions dictate we will adjust
program operations accordingly.”
Ford said people still need to
comply with regulations on
movement of Medfly hosts.
“Public cooperation has been
much unproved lately,” he said.
"One reason may be that less host
fruit is available, but I hope it also
means people have a better un
derstanding of why they mustn’t
carry the fruit out.
