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.

• Wheat Allotments
(Continued from Page 2)
This will directly affect only
the 464 farmers in the coboty
who arc emoiled in the fed
eral wheat program.
The 1967 wheat acreage al
lotment for the state was also
increased by 14 9 percent, ac
cording to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture this week.
Of the total national acreage
for 1967, 59,300,000 acres,
Pennsylvania will be alloted
616,047 acres for wheat pro
duction.
In announcing several pro
visions of the 1967 wheat pro
gram, USDA said there will
not be an acreage diversion
provision for wheat, and that
the Cropland Adjustment Pro
gram (CAP) as it applies to
wheat will be announced at a
later date. Since there will be
no acreage diversion, USDA
said, the production of alter
nate non-surplus crops will
not be possible, as was the
case in prior wheat pro’gram
years.

Phosphamidom is absorbed
quickly, too, so workers can
enter the fields just a few
hours after spraying. Why
