yy ONCE AGAIN Eastern States 
Farmers’ Exchange has been named 
among the 50 leaders in the United 
States in the effective use of direct-by- 
mail information and advertising ma- 
terial. This award was announced 
recently by the Direct Mail Adver- 
tising Association. The 50 leaders 
were picked from probably more than 
1000 entries, which included most of 
the country’s great, well-known cor- 
porations. This is the fourth consecu- 
tive year Eastern States has been so 
honored. 
This year your farm cooperative 
entered only the Eastern SrarTes 
CooperaAtor. Competition was es- 
pecially keen since entries were 
judged on an “‘aid to the war effort’’ 
basis, an approach on which many 
corporations have spent millions of 
dollars and employed the highest- 
priced talent. 
yy FOR WORM CONTROL in sheep 
and cecal worms in turkeys, Eastern 
States now distributes Phenothiazine. 
It is available as a powder for mixing 
with salt and feed and in liquid form 
for drenching sheep. It is used for 
removing round worms, hook worms 
and nodular worms in sheep and 
cecal worms in turkeys. Described by 
USDA as the nearest approach to an 
ideal worm remover. Phenothiazine 
is available in several sizes to ac- 
commodate members with varying 
needs. Each container carries com- 
plete directions. 

sx ENTIRELY NEW are Eastern 
States Calf Tablets now available in 
bottles of 20 and 100. 
They are beneficial in preventing 
and treating nutritional scours, colds, 
pneumonia and navel ill in very 
young calves. Will also give weak 
calves a better start. One tablet each 
day to every calf for at least the first 
10 days after birth. Continue 10 more 
days for the weaker calves. 
These tablets contain vitamins A, 
C, and D and niacin. They are feed — 
not a medicine. They can be crushed 
and fed in milk, snapped into calf’s 
throat or placed on back of tongue. 
Be sure they are swallowed. 
Calf Tablers result from experiments 
conducted at University of Wisconsin 
and confirmed at Eastetn States West- 
brook Laboratory. 
sx TAKE DELIVERY whenever you 
can get it of Ammonium Nitrate, Ni- 
trate of Soda or Uramon. These nitro- 
gen materials are allocated and sup- 
plies areshort — withdemand greater 
than supply. Keep your representa- 
tive or warehouse informed of your 
need — and your willingness to take 
delivery whenever available. 
sx FAMILY HEALTH will be better 
when backed up by a good vegetable 
garden. A heavily-fertilized, well- 
tended garden will pay fine dividends 
in economical food, good appetites 
and real table pleasure. Feed the gar- 
den well and it will feed you well. 
Good gardens can be worth $1000 an 
acre and more.

yy PLEASE ASSIST your local repre- 
sentative in making up a carload or- 
der of Eastern States Fertilizer for 
shipment in January or February. 
Members who truck from plants are 
also urged to take their fertilizer 
eatly — in January, if possible. That 
may seem like rushing the season but 
with present manpower and trans- 
portation problems it is absolutely 
necessary for the fertilizer plants to 
stretch their shipping season over 
more weeks this year. Not only are 
you sure of your fertilizer by accepting 
delivery earlier than usual, but East- 
ern States also offers you a financial 
advantage to do so. See your repre- 
sentative or warehouse for details. 
sk IN AREAS where anthracnose is 
prevalent, members should obtain 
seed of Cumberland Medium Red 
Clover and of other desired legumes 
and grasses and make their own 
mixtures. 
In Eastern States Hay-Pasture seed 
mixtures numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the 
Medium Red Clover seed contained is 
of the Eastern States Regular Strain. 
By far the greatest part of the vol- 
ume of these mixtures is used by mem- 
bers in New England where winter 
hardiness is more important than 
resistance to anthracnose. Therefore, 
the Cumberland anthracnose-resistant 
strain of red clover has never been 
used in those mixtures. 
yy TWO CARLOADS containing 
between 70,000 to 80,000 pounds of 
Hungarian Millet seed for planting in 
1945 have been received at the Eastern 
States seed house in Buffalo. 
yy INTENDED FOR forage produc- 
tion only, Eastern States Selected Oats 
for 1945 will come from western Can- 
ada — and probably be of Victory or 
Vanguard varieties. They will be 
plump, heavy kernels, weighing 
42-46 pounds to the measured bushel. 
Members can not expect similar grain 
production from this seed here in the 
northeast. 
yy WAITING for you is some part 
of the 10,000,000 pounds of field seeds 
which Eastern States had available 
for 1945 planting before orders began 
coming in. Superior seed is the foun- 
dation for success on most northeast- 
ern farms. 
yx HAVING SERVED its “‘stretch’’ 
in wartime service, Stock Feed has been 
discontinued from the Eastern States 
list. Feed ingredients now permit 
present members to obtain their full 
requirements of specialized rations 
formulated to meet particular needs. 
yx CLOSE attention to directions will 
pay well in using Eastern States Breeder 
Concentrate Pellets. Many flocks are 
now being shifted from a market egg 
to a breeder basis. Concentrate Pellets 
permit all-year use of Eastern States 
Egg Mash. 
yx ON CARS shipped after January 
30, Eastern States Turkey-Starter will 
again be available. ;
