HERSHEY & SON Manheim The new technique Involves applying undiluted, technical malalhion in extremely smaill amounts. Conventional applica tions of pesticides by aircraft involve diluting the chemical with a large amount of water, oil, or other diluent. The low volume method was fust tested on grasshoppers in 191i2. Results were so out standing that low volume mal athion became the standard treatment in the rangeland giasshoppcr program in 1964. Heartened by the early suc cess against grasshoppers plant pest control workers be gan testing the technique against other insect pests, and it is now being used in the cereal leaf beetle program in the Midwest and the boll Wee vil program on the Texas High Plains. Briefly, the 'principal advan tages of the low volume tech nique are: I —use of an insecticide with low toxicity to warm blooded animals greatly mini mizes possible adverse effects to humans, livestock, and wild life. It’s possible to apply mal athion on rangelands, for ex ample, without removing live stock from the range. 2—Higher flights are made practicable by the use of a mon-volatile material such as taalathion. It was possible to use a 100-foot swath in the boll weevil program rather than the 35-foot swath nor mally used This adds to the safety of flight operations, in creases the amount of work plane and pilot can do, and M*f tkm Mite .

Forests during which time trees con be virtually defoliated. Two Pennsylvania agencies’ —the Department of Forests anti Waters' and the Depart ment of Agriculture will combine efforts this spring to safeguard $30,000,000 worth of iimborland in Northern Penn sylvania against damage or destruction by cankcrworm. Initial plans call for aerial spraying of more than 100,000 acres in Potter, McKean and Tioga counties, according to statements issued jointly by Maurice K. Goddard, Secre tary of Forests and Waters, and Leland H. Bull, Secretary of Agriculture. “In addition to its value as timberland, this area offers some of the state’s finest hunting and fishing, and has outstanding recreation facili ties that annually attract thousands of persons,” they pointed out. The gravity of the situation was enfph'asixed by a report of the Department of Forests and Waters that serious can kerworm dam'age was ob served in 400,000 acres of tim berland in the three counties last year. In its adult form as a moth, the cankerworm lays eggs on trunks and 'branches of trees in the fall. Tiny worms that hatch in the spring feed on new leaves pushing out of reduces the complexity of su pervision and ground support. 3—'Reduction in total ma terial applied per acre ,(97 percent in the boll weevil pro gram) means a sharp reduc tion in application Costs, Dairymen everywhere are getting and more with Ful-O-Pep fMaIMSSt. Dairy Feed A Lancaster County former* reports 1545 lbs. milk per cow 4.23% test 65 lbs. fat per cow during Dec. 1964 "’'Names on request See whet Ful-O-Pep Cottle-izer Doiry Feeds con do for YOUR milk production!
