Growers
Ait ention !
Many growers are getting an
xious to know what we are going
to do this year in the way of can
ning. We will be allowed to can an
unlimited amount of beans or up
to our capacity.
The price situation has not yet
been settled by OPA and won't be
until the Congress settles the sub
sidy question.
However, we feel that prices
paid growers will be satisfactory.
Make your plans and let us
know how many acres you want
to contract.
We will make a tentative con
tract with you to protect you and
transfer that to our regular con
tract when we get the price from
the Government.
Uncle Sam must have food and
we want to do our part.
We have the seed sufficient for
the acreage we need. All growers
will be given preference.
Buy your fertilizer early and
be ready for the planting season.
