that they readily support the
development and growth of
bacteria, which may be in
troduced into the products
during handling,” Henning
said
“The only accepted meth
od of determining the quali
fy and safety of dairy pro
ducts is by means of a bac
teriological examination,”
he added
The results of such exam
inations serve as an index
of the quality and safety of
the milk products. When
bacteria counts are within
the announced limits, inspec
ting and control agencies
have an indication that the
product has been properly
handled and is suitable for
human consumption.
While Pennsylvania RepT.
of Agriculture requirements
are only now being promul
gated, similar requirements
have been enforced for many
years by local control agen
cies. Many manufacturers
have used bacterioligical ex
aminations for their own
guidance and protection for
many years.

These facts prove that Dithane M-22
is superior to nabam in controlling early

Dithane M-22 gives you standby pi elec
tion— protection to carry your vines
safely past emergencies when the inter
val between sprays must be lengthened.
We think you will find Dithane M-22
truly a milestone in potato blight control.
