“Experience has taught -me
that natural temperature and
humidity of an insulated un
derground cooling room is in
sufficient,” Melhom states.
“You should build your
egg room by flock size, be
cause cooling is expensive, in
a too-large room, and the
problems of too little space
are obvious ”
“Our program simply is
tins:
Gather eggs frequently;
Remove animal heat quick
ly with cooling duct,
Hold on final cooling racks
with full air circulation un.
til completely cooled in
baskets;
Pack in cases that have be
en pre-conditioned for at
least three days, as soon as
eggs are cool;
and Market frequently.”
Melhom admits that he
had the added incentive of
feeling his position as PCE
president obligated him to
quality production, BUT;
“Since every poultryman
must follow most of this pro
gram to maintain “A” grade
market quality, it costs verv
little if anything to take that
extra step up to “AA” grade,
and it can mean the differen
ce between profit or loss m
your operation ”

Tests during 1958 in major potato states
compared the blight controlling ability
of Dithane® M-22 and of nabam. Late
blight was severe in two of the states;
early blight in one.
The conclusions reached by the scientists
confirm the results obtained by the
many growers who also compared the
performance of Dithane M-22 and
nabam.
At intervals of seven days,
Dithane M-22 [V/ 2 pounds/acre)
gave better control of late blight
than Dithane D-14 (2 quarts/acre).
At intervals of ten days the superi
ority of Dithane M-22 was out
standing. Similar advantages in early
blight control with Dithane M-22
were noted.
Yields were significantly higher
where better blight control was
obtained with Dithane M-22, In
the plots protected at 7-day
