Members of Oregon's meat In

dual reports. Producers, marketing
agencies, packers, retailers, labor
organizations and consumers were
represented at the conference,
sponsored by the OSO extension.

the stricken states, and this price
is being paid for all U. 8. No. 2,
or better, fob cars, the buyers re

Cut in freight rates on hay ship

March 15 by the railroads. This
rate cut allows hay to be shipped
to destination at one half of the
regular, fare. Half of the existing
cut rate Is paid by the state and

Due to the superior .quality of
Klamath Basin alfalfa every ef
fort is being made tc purchase as
much hay here, as possible, stated
State Senator Marvin Melton from
Arkansas,, who was here last week

CHEMICALS m
The DuPont ovol stands for quality, y and wt
like for . our "Rufus'' (the bug) to stand- for service.,
Ycors ago, early in the application' game,'we 're
funded over $1000 on application money in one year. '
In those days 1000 bucks was dood hard cash, too . .' . '
so we became interested in the best line of- materials ..
that we could secure. '
When you put one pint of 2, 4-D per sere, or 40
pounds of CMU per acre (to keep all the weeds out
for a year) you are really asking a lot from a small
amount of chemicals, - . 1 . .
It Is our belief thot we must have the most rigid
standards In our chemicals ....... chemicals thot ore '
produced under the most carefully controlled laboratory
analysis that you can depend on, not for ten years,
twenty years but for, a hundred and fifty, years In Amer- :
lea. Thot is the reason thot we hove built the Spray
Center around the DuPont Ovol and the products, the
quality and, the standardization thot they stand for.
