used on peppers and lima
beans, it produces much the

Alar will be a tremendous
help to mechanized harvesting
of vegetable crops, according
to Dr Donald Fieldhouse, as

retardant on a wide variety
of crops
Plots of Alar-treated toma
toes will be on display at the
University’s Annual Farm and
Home Field Day, August 9.
Bus tours, beginning at 10 a.
m. will take Field Day visi

to inspect tomato plots as well

projects
Nearly 200 acres at the sub
station are divided into plots
used to test new varieties of
field and vegetable crops, new
methods of controlling weeds
and insects, sub-irrigation and

and higher crop quality. Be
