Ortr..l. fiAZKTTK TIMES. Thiirs.l.iv, Man-It 111. 1972 .1 Jack Sumner, KFO publicity chairman of Morrow County, said today Hut train prices will not Increase Ilk they should unless tanners make use of rvery possibility for orderly marketing of their production. "However, based on the following Information grain prices could advance to a much higher level if farm ers would Just ask for It and nuan It". E.K. Turner, President of the Sas katchewan Wheat Pool, told wheat growers in Denver re cently that the United States has nearly all the wheat left to be marketed in the world through next July. This Is a result of the dock strike that required foreign buyers of grain to look to other countries. This action depleted the free supply of wheat left except in the Unit ed Suites. "You have the market just about to yourselves for the balance of the year," he said. "It's the lowest prices we've lad in 20 years. Why continue to put downward pressure on If." "Finally, and I think this applies to all countries, I think governments ought to listen more to farmers and less to ni "inhers of the grain handling and international grain trade, because the in terests of these two groups are vastly different." W.D. Hughes', Grain Mark et News, for the week ending 10 March 1972 reported that bidding on No. 1 soft white wheat increased to $1.60 to $1.G1 per bushel to arrive coast. Country selling ex panded and offerings were readily absorbed by ag gressive demand. Bidding for winter wheat was also strong er when shipments from first hand holders dried up at the previous week's lower levels. This aggressive demand is evident by the fact that more than 9 million bushels of white wheat was contracted for last Irrigon THE FORMER FRANCES WILEY, returned to Irrigon from Hawaii recently as Mrs. Larry Poe.

"With prices now at less titan cost of production we must do more limn we've ever done before to avoid dumping grain on the market and to head off declines," Sumner said. "Farmeri should make use of their wheat and barley as "Farmers should make use of all available programs, government and otherwise, to store as much of their wheat and barley as they possibly can," Sumner said farmersarein a position to build markets for grains by working together and keeping control of their products until hlglier prices can be negotiated to offset higher costs of produc tion. Three market-building possibilities, he said, are available to all farmers in the county: Use all available on-the-farm facilities to store grains and add capacity as needed with government financing ar ranged through the local ASCS offices. Store In elevators, and warehouses whereever av ailable, obtaining warehouse receipts as Collateral for loans front tanks or through the local ASCS office. Block grains In Inventory with other farmers through NFO for nationwide bargain ing and for negotiating higher price levels. Sumner said all three ap proaches make It possible for farmers to obtain loans on their grain and be In a pis ition to market it at a high er price later on. "This allows farmers to maintain control of grain nor mally dumped on the mar ket", Sumner said. "It doesn't make sense for farmers to stand by while the trade buys up grain at low prices and then joins the government In dumping enough on the market the rest of the year to keep prices cheap."

Bronate Is Available From Paul Pettyjohn Co Your Shell Oil and Chemical Distributor Please Call 422-7254 Serving the Heppner, lone, Lexington and Arlington Areas M ? GREEN STAMPS mm StiJLLS Lb Lh Lb dVJ LbVlSi o Our competitors think so highly of Bronate as a broad leaf weed killer in wheat and other grain crops that they want you to tank mix their products with Bronate. While we appreciate the compliment, we don't neces sarily go along with the rec ommendation. Because while the addi tion of less effective herbi cides to Bronate may help the other herbicides, it doesn't help Bronate. Matter of fact, it can hurt Bronate. Unlike many other herbi-' cides, Bronate kills your weeds without damaging your wheat. And tank-mixing reduces Bronate's high de gree of selectivity. Also, unlike other herbi cides, Bronate isn't restricted to any particular soil type or condition. And tank-mixing limits Bronate's wide range of application. Use Bronate alone if your weed problems include Tar weed, Gromwell, Henbit, Dogfennell, Crowfoot, Purple Mustard, and the rest of the Mustard family Or any of the 23 other kinds of weeds listed on the Bronate label. Our experience has shown that Bronate used alone has increased produc tivity for Northwest wheat farmers by as much as 20 bushels per acre. Is it any wonder our competitors recommend Bro nate? For more information on how Bronate can help you, see your supplier or write Mr. R. P. Rich, RhodiaChipman Division, 120 Jersey Avenue, New Brunswick, N.J. 08903. 4X1 CHIPMAN DIVISION i
