potato pests can’t hide
from Phosphamidon
You’ve probably read about" the insect-seeking
Killer-OBTHO Phosphamidon. We have it. We’ve
seen it work. We recommend it for eliminating
potato pests.
Here’s why.
Wherever insects hide safe from other sprays
(under the curl of a leaf, in crevice of a stalk)
Phosphamidon hunts them down. And kills them.
Phosphamidon kills on contact. But, it doesn’t
have to. It’ is absorbed by the foilage and pene
trates the entire upper part of the plant sys
tem. Result; a “remote control” kill that gets the
hidden insects other sprays miss.
The list of insects reads like an encyclopedia of
potato pests: Colorado potato beetle (even ,the
resistant one),- all 'Varieties of aphids, flea'beetles,"
corn borers; leaf hoppers just about every
insect that chews or sucks. What’s more, most
insects, that are resistant to other sprays find
Phosphamidon irresistible.
Phosphamidon is absorbed so quickly that work
ers cata enter the fields a few hours after spray
ing. And the natural predators that feed on harm
ful potato insects can safely return too.
Don’t spray money away, hit or miss, with or
dinary sprays come in or
phone us for your Phosphami
don requirements. With Phos
phamidon you just can’t miss.

marized about as follows; '
Effective March 1, 1964, gas
oline and other types of lan
terns will not be acceptable in
dairy barns and milk houses.
In place of these, the following
alternatives are offered:
“First Choice - Run suitable
electric lines from public elec
tric power source, at least to
barn, milk house and any other
buildings associated directly
with milk production and hand
ling.
“Second Choice - Provide ad
equate wiring and bulbs in
barn and milk house for pri
vate source of electricity.
“Third Choice - Provide ad
equate light in barn and milk
house by use of permanently
installed lamp fixtures for na
tural or “bottled” gas. Be sure
to get approval before install
ation. If choice three is used
and a bulk tank is installed,
it is required that an electric
power supply be adequate for
fuflily automatic controls, in
cluding a means of automa
tically running comipressotr
when necessary.
“Prom our knowledge of the
proceduies of Milk Control Dis
trict No. 1, we believe that this
regulation will be rigidly en
forced. Therefore, we urge all
affected producers to study the
situation immediately. We hope
that all of our producers will
be willing to comply, but if
this is not possible, arrange
ments should be made to
change markets at some favor
able time this year, rather than
wait until March 1 of next

When speaking ot peieent
