existing eartags can serve for both identification
and fly control. Even last year’s insecticide tag
can be reworked. No more double tagging or
cutting away old tags.
This unique device provides proven
season-long control of horn flies and face flies.
Through the natural movement of the head,
cattle spread the insecticide directly to
their shoulders and backs.
ECTIBAN Tape contains two ampules of
ECTIBAN. the most effective fly control product
on the market. ECTIBAN provides quick knock
down—you see results the same day you apply
the tape. ECTIBAN gives long residual effect
kills flies up to five months and is low in toxicity
to animals.

LANCASTER —“It’s going to be
a long time before Russia comes
back to being a good buyer for the
United States,” Missouri broker
Lavon Daugherty told those
assembled for the annual PennAg
Industries Assn.’s grain meeting,
Monday evening.
Speaking before a crowd of
approximately 140 at the Tread
way Inn, Daugherty told the
audience that the United States
imposed embargo “has done
irreparable damage. Because of
this, the Soviet Union doesn’t want
to be responsible to the United
States for more than 25 percent of
their wheat supply.. Compare this
to the almost 75 percent we used to
provide.”
Although Daugherty’s presen
tation centered on projections of
grain supplies and possibilites
should natural disasters and/or
government interference occur,
the audience seemed most con
cerned about foreign markets for
grain.
Questions concerning China’s
purchases prompted Daugherty to
reply, “If they can’t buy it in cash,
they don’t buy much. They buy as
they go. Their own produce is, up
this year, so we don’t expect large
You simply wrap the ECU BAN Tape around an
existing eartag—either identification tag or last
year's insecticide tag. With one squeeze of the
thumb, the ECTIBAN is released, and the eartag
is reworked, as easy as one, two, three, four.

On the home front, Daugherty
advised the audience to use
soybeans in their ration as opposed

demanding higher prices.
Daugherty serves as national
commercial grain specialist with
the Clayton Brokerage Co, in St.

Also, Penn Ag announced that

former US Secretary of
Agriculture Earl Butz. He will
discuss, “There is still a rainbow in
agriculture.”
meeting
meetings with his Board of
Education, Mr. Trumble said he
convinced them to allow him to put
in one machine in a high school on
a trial basis. He began with a used,
rebuilt machine, at about one half
the cost of a new one. The over
whelming popularity of the
milkshakes from that machine
convinced the board to buy sixteen
additional machines for use in the
other county secondary schools.
“Gone are the days of ‘it’s good
for you so you will eat it’ attitude
toward school lunches,” Mr.
Trumble explained. “We must give
them good nutrition, and still
something they like,” he added.
Mr. Trumble’s talk was followed
by one from Diane Bliss of the
Pennsylvania Holstein
Association, who discussed milk
promotion ideas being im
plemented in other parts of the
state. Mrs. Bliss told the audience
about the Mifflin County Mystery
Tipper and distributed cards to
members for use in a similar way
in local restaurants.' She also
described some programs aimed
at school children designed by
other milk promoters in Hun
tingdon County and in nor
thwestern Pennsylvania counties.
Mrs. Bliss explained some
aspects of the work done by the
Pennsylvania Holstein Association
Milk Promotion Committee. This
group identified restaurants and
food services, schools, and
working more closely with com
munity service organizations, as
three “areas of need” for im
proving milk promotion. Mrs. Bliss
gave the group two suggestions for
meeting these needs in the county.
She urged members to take ad
vantage of upcoming community
events to promote milk, and to
expand their available resources
through work with the Dairy
Princess Committee and the
Penhsylvnaia Holstein
Association. She concluded her
remarks by stating that our goal is
to “strengthen existing programs
and help sell more dairy
products.”
Sue Beshore of the Atlantic
Dairy Association provided an
enjoyable conclusion to the
program by showing film dips of
nine milk promotion television
commercials produced during the
past year.
The meeting was hosted by
Donald, Ted. and Donald Rhodes
Jr. of Rhodes Enterprises, New
Oxford. Each explained an area of
the family’s fanning operation.
Together they farm about 1500
acres and have a herd of 96 milking
animals with about 65 replacement
heifers. Ted, who bandies the
management of the crop work
explained that they will have ISO
acres of alfalfa by next year and
that one of their goals win be to
teed alfalfa forage exclusively to
the milking animals.
A tour of their dairy complex,
built in February 1960, followed
these remarks. This modem
complex includes a Surge double
