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. ”

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.

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.

continue to monitor the Penn

out that agriculture is Penn

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.

This chemistry lesson is much
oversimplified and understated.. It
is only intended to awaken your
awareness of the wondrous nature
of the soil we tread on every day.
Nothing has been said of the nature
of the living organisms that inhabit
the soil, nor of the multitude of
factors that make it a living,
productive and beautiful thing.
Love it, cherish and protect it, and
glory in the finite use of it. Above
all, don’t desecrate it by neglect or
misuse.
