If flies are about to drive your cattle crazy.
then you better see us fast for
ORTHO DIBROM
Fly Spray
I£ you're sick and tired of fooling around with
weak, half-hearted fly sprays, then you’re ready
for DIBROM. Minutes after you spray, every fly
that’s been hit will he dead or dying. When DI-
BROM hits ’em, they stay hit. Even if they’re re-
sistant to other sprays.
DIBROM is registered to spray over and around
cattle. In fact, Dibrom in emulsified form is even
safe to spray on food crops, up to four days of
harvest.
It’s easy to use, comes to
you ready-mixed and gives
you real economy. Sure, it
costs a little more than
your pyrethrin sprays, but
you’ll find that it gives a
lot better kill. So when all
is said and done you wind
up getting back a lot more
of the money that flies
have been costing you in
reduced milk and meat
production.
Come in and see us . . .
we’ll he glad to show you
how to go after flies like
you mean it with
ORTHO DIBROM.

Settling for average grain yields is like putting an automatic
half-hitch on crop profits.
Look at Pennsylvania’s record for 1965. The average wheat
yield was a record 34 bu. per acre, but good management and
today’s good varieties can produce 45 to 50 bu. Barley averaged
48 bu. per acre (also a record high) but some farmers are now
growing 75 to 80 bu. on good soils. Oats averaged 46 bu. Good
growers are harvesting 70 to 75 bu.
Ohio studies show that when wheat yields rise from 30 to 45
bu. per acre, cost per bushel drops about 24 cents simply be
cause total crop expenses do not increase in the same propor
tion as yields.
Yes, there's plenty of room for yield improvement that can
come from Hoffman proven varieties. Hoffman quality seed . . .
plus good farm practices. Set your sights on grain jields that
are considerably above average!
