James Anders, Halifax, placed third in the region with an air compressor. The state is divided into five regions, but the regional win constitutes the top prize. There is no state-wide run-off. Although Zartman and his dad operate the 72-acre Zart man farm together, in some in stances there is a clear-cut division of enterprises and in others they work on halves. Tom’s farming program over the years has been concentrat ed around a swine operation in which he farrows about 160 pigs per year, feeding out half of these and selling the other half for feeder pigs At the present time he has eight sows His long-range- plans call GET RID OF APHIDS, FLEA BEETLES and COLORADO POTATO On Potatoes Phosphamidon Phosphamidon actually hunts pests down on pota- to plants. It kills them wherever they’re hiding under the curl of a leaf in the crevice of a stalk. This is because Phosphamidon doesn’t kill by con tact alone. It’s absorbed by the foliage and goes through the entire upper part of the plant system. That means it kills hidden insects other sprays miss. Phosphamidon gets rid of Colorado potato beetles, (even the resistant ones) as well as flea beetles, leaf hoppers and all four kinds of ap hids that attack potatoes. P. L. ROHRER & BRO., INC.

The-loss of skilled help; including sons of farmers who are well-grounded in agricultural techniques, ser iously affects the management and operation -of food tion activities, they said. Constant growth in the size of commercial farms,and in their volumes of production, forces many farmers to "rely heavily upon younger- men with specialized training in modern methods • and tech niques. There appear .to be no available replacements for this kind of skilled, technical help, the Secretary added. In consulting with Gen. Gross, the farm leaders point ed out that some voung faim ers might better serve their country by helping to assuie an adequate food supply Gross noted that many in dustries have difficulty in ob taining adequately trained manpower, but he also ob seived that food is a vital i‘e quirement of the population and production of food prod ucts is essential to the main tenance of a strong economy The Selective Service head said no special rules or reg ulations have been instituted' covering any particular seg ment of the state or national work force, but noted that ap peals of local draft board de-' cisions still may be made in special cases. Secretary Bull urged farm ers who have highly trained manpower to apply for de ferment at their local draft boards when they face e*- , ireme hardship situations through loss of that man-, power. Meanwhile, representatives of PFA, the Grange," and the State Agriculture. Department will continue to seek a solu tion to the probleiri of inade quate numbers of workers at peak planting and harvesting seasons, Bull said. good for your pullef Laying house failure can often be t: back to a poor pullet.
