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.

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.

Dairy Price Support
WASHINGTON. D.C. 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.

The act provides further that the
secretary must offer to purchase
butter for not more than $l.lO per
pound, except that the secretary
may allocate the rate of price sup
port between the purchase prices
for non-fat dry milk and butter in
such other manner as he deter
mines will result in the lowest
level of expenditures by CCC.
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.
