DiTHANE M-45® takes sides. Your side. This photo shows potato foliage with
one half protected by DiTHANE M-45; the right half was not sprayed. Both
sides were inoculated with late blight fungus. Blight infected the unprotected
side, but the leftside protected with DITHANE M-45 stopped the fungus growth.
DITHANE M-45, a chemically unique fungicide, is effective against both early
and late blight of potatoes It can be applied in high or low volume ground
sprays or in aerial sprays DITHANE M-45 clings to the foliage and remains on
the leaf surface and resists ram or irrigation. Apply, every 7 or 10 days through
out the season Use early applications of 1 lb of DITHANE M-45 per acre
and increase to 2 lbs as vines increase in size Follow detailed label instruc
tions Then harvest a record crop of top grade potatoes See your dealer or write

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 13.1967 —
Every healthy young person
wishes to try working at leal
jobs, whether they are lull
time or part-time ones Patents
need to understand this desire
to work as one of the develop
mental needs of youth, says
Mrs Margueute L Duvall, ex
tension family life specialist
of Penn Stale Univeisity
It isn't too early for young
persons to look for summer
lobs Without being oveipio
tectivc, parents can encourage
them to try a real job How
ever, pai ents and youth should
realize there is more competi
tion today for full-time and
pai t-time employment Because
of this competition, experienc
ed young persons get piefei
ence for the jobs.
When applying for their
first jobs, young people can ex
pect them to be menial But,
such jobs aie valuable for the
experiences they piovide This
is one leason why youth need
parents’ encouragement and
guidance in their jobhunting
efforts, Mis Duvall points out
Summer jobs piovide many
good expenences for young
people The pride of earning
their own money and woikmg
gives them the feeling of
achieving adult status Holding
their jobs and doing good work
help >oung people develop ic
sponsibilily and scll-eonddenee.
A summer iob can suggest
career possibilities lor the
voting pel son who hasn’t made
up his mind about his future.
If he tries vanous work aicas,
he may find the job that look
ed appealing isn't all he
thought it would be Summer
woik can open up new aieas
that he wouldn't have thought
about otheiwise, Mis Duvall
