DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR PREVENTING BUGS, BLIGHTS, FUNGUS. DISEASES, LIVESTOCK PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF GETTING RID OF THEM AFTER YOU HAVE THEM. For the alfalfa farmers and many of the vegetable farmers, the above problems are taken care of by the fertilizer check which averages only about $lB to $24 per acre per year. Our fertilizer makes the crops sweet and mineral rich and the bugs can't stand to eat a sweet plant. They are sent by the Creator to get the unhealthy plants out of the way, so that you and I don't eat them. The healthy plants they leave for us. Vegetable growers tell us the sick plants have more bugs. Our fertilizer makes hay, grain and soybeans so rich that the livestock will do better and eat less feed. A customer said he bought a new J.D. 4 bottom plow tractor with the money he saves on chemicals, drugs and vet. bills. He fdrms 4 farms with out any chemicals. He said cow health is about perfect and they milk better than ever. He counted 44 earthworms in a space of soil about as large as a man's head. Now they make his fertilizer free. We would like to put you on easy street too. On top of that, our customers get $B.OO per bu. for soy beans if they pass the low-toxin test. And some get around 80 bu. per acre. On top of that you are reducing pollution which kills and hospitalizes people which could be one of your family. Apply our special detoxifying fertilizer as soon as this snow is gone, before the next one. Then it will start detoxifying the soil so that you will get low toxin livestock feed and the livestock will also do better, or you can sell the feed for high prices to o waiting market. We have special opportunities for you to grow Spelt, and white soybeans for seed at high prices. And yields are high, (of course like other crops) if grown with our special fertilizer. Send $.50 (stamps OK) for literature that could be worth thou sands of dollors to you. ORGANIC CENTER 217 S.

Exposition, but turned around and won reserve grand champion hon ors at the Dauphin County roundup last fall, again placing second to Simon. Both Messicks plan to bank the money they will earn from the sale of 1,285-pound Simon and 1,215-pound Smokie. Mike Mes sick hopes to begin amassing money toward the one-day purch ase of a beef farm. The lightweight championship went to first-time Farm Show exhi bitor Amy Jodikinos of Clinton. The 18-year-old 4-H’er purchased her 1,140-pound animal from a Keswick, Va., breeder. She chose the calf, named Kes, when he was running the pasture with his dam. Kes was a stubborn eater, Jodiki nos related. “It takes him forever to eat feed; he’s real picky,” she said. However, he must have eaten the right stuff to be in championship form. Jodikinos currently is attending Robert Morris College in Coraopolis where she is majoring in accounting. Her earning from Kes’ sale will go toward her education. A partial list of the winners follows. JUNIOR MARKET STEERS LIGHTWEIGHT Cleee 1 1. Jonathan Coble, 2 Vance Dietz, 3 Darrell Koch.

Act ing Secretary of Agriculture Roland R. Vautour said recently that the level of price support for milk will be reduced from $10.60 to $lO.lO per hundredweight (cwt.), effective Jan. 1, 1990. Vautour said the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 provides that the secretary may reduce the milk support price by not more than SO cents per cwt if purchases of surplus milk and dairy products during calendar 1990 are estimated to exceed 5 bil lion pounds, milk equivalent. At the current $10.60 support price, the projected surplus pur chases are estimated at 8 billion pounds, milk equivalent-milkfat basis. With the support level at $lO.lO, purchase? in 1990 are esti mated at 7.4 billion pounds milk equivalent-milkfat basis. On a to tal milk solids basis, the estimated 1990 surplus ranges from 3.6 to 4.4 billion pounds, milk equivalent-total milk solids basis. All recent price support adjust ments, including the adjustment taking effect Jan. 1, have been made based upon surplus determi nations using a milkfat basis. The price support of $ 10.10 per cwt. is for milk with a milkfat con tent of 3.67 percent—the national average and compares with $9.88 per cwt. for milk with a milkfat content of nonfat dry milk.

To better reflect current market conditions, all of the decrease in the support price for milk used in manufacturing butter and nonfat dry milk will be allocated to the CCC purchase price of butter. The CCC purchase price for butter will be reduced by 11.25 cents per pound to $1.0925 per pound. The nonfat dry milk price will remain unchanged. The CCC purchase price for block Cheddar and barrel cheese will be reduced by 4.5 cents per pound to $l.ll and $1.07 per pound, respectively, to correspond with the new support price level. These actions will assure an adequate supply of milk. Further terms and Conditions for CCC purchases of dairy pro ducts will be contained in CCC announcements. CCC-owned dairy products, when available, can be purchased for unrestricted use at prices which are about 10 percent over the prevailing CCC price support purchase prices. Currently, only butter is being offered for sale.
