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

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.

Phosphamidom is absorbed
quickly, too, so workers can
enter the fields just a few
hours after spraying. Why
take chances on missing any
potato pests. See us now for

Henry M. Gross of the State
Selective Service. 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.
