D2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 14,1984 PFU congress WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Fanners Union mid-term Congressional ratings show that 32 House of Representative members received a 100 percent rating. This includes three representatives from Pennsylvania with a perfect rating for agriculture. However on the Senate side, the National Farmers Union rated no senator higher than 92 percent. Pennsylvania Congressmen with perfect ratings are Rep. Bob Edgar, Rep. Joe Kolter and Rep. Frank Harrison, all Democrats. These voting records are mandated by NFU policy statement, which declares that “members of the Farmers Union have a right to know the voting records of their members of Congress on issues on which the organization has clearly indicated a position.” NFU issued the first of its voting records in 1919 and has done so year-by-year continuously since 1948. In releasing the voting records for 1983, the first session of the 98th Congress, NFU Legislative Director Robert J. Mullins said, “two major issues will dominate the second session,” the fiscal 1985 budget and efforts to reduce the federal deficit, both of which will impact on the ability of the agricultural sector to begin an economic recovery. ” M. James Brown, President of the Pennsylvania Farmers Union, NATIONAL AG'S NEWEST YIELD WINNER - 11 %TO 14% PROTEIN CORN GROW YOUR OWN SEED GENTEICALLY ENGINEERED AND BLENDED SEED CORN. Here it is, the final result of our finest efforts. A new, exciting seed com that wil produce excellent yields, including seed for next year’s cron! It’s NA 1002™ National Ag’s superb new 102 day breakthrough. Medium tall, dark green plants and deep roots give this new yield winner excellent drought tolerance and stress resistance. Above is a word for word ad in another magazine, by Nat. Ag Products Development, Inc. We have been handling some of their other good products, and find them truthful. Consider the extreme high protein, and the reproduction of the com planting your own seed com! You can save much ontent and very high money in protein and seed. A energy levels as well. dollar saved is a dollar earned. 1-2 bags (561bs. per bag) s69per bag 3 and up (56 lbs. per bag) $59 per bag Limited Supply NA 1002 yields corn with high protein and nutritional content for greater feed value. In fact, test results show an average of 12% •otein Be sure to give it a trial and grow your own seed for next year. The President of Nat. Ag. who I knew for years told me it stand better and yields better than hybrid. He said on organic farms it sometimes tests 14% protein. Our own fertilizer program produces several percent higher protein than chemical in hybrid com. The cows do better more milk, less problems, less feed. And the fertilizer program costs considerable less after the first year. One of our products Flora-Life produced 300 bu. com per acre on 9 acres in 1982. Why not you? It can be done with the help of nature. And the feed value is from 12% higher to 37% higher and contains extra, uniden tified factors put in by nature which is better than man’s formulation. OUR NATURAL MASTITIS TREATMENTS REALLY WORK They make the cows resistant to it quickly. $18.95 postpaid for 200 Spirulina tabs. Use two other products with it in a drench for stubborn cases for $43.90. Natural products produce resistance, which lasts longer. Same in alfalfa. Our customers don’t need to spray insecticides, etc., on alfalfa except some who haven’t been on our program long, or don’t follow it althougher. Some grow quality cantaloupes commercially without chemical sprays, while their neighbors have to or they would have a big loss. Back to nature is the answer for pestilence and disease in crops and the consumers of the crops. ELI STOLTZFUS 217 S.

NAIOO2 is an excellent com bining or picking com, because of its very good stalk strength and fast-drying characteristics. It is resistant to stalk and root lodging too. Long, fast-drying ears produce high test weights for excellent grain yield or outstanding silage.
