Persistent Protection You Can See. DIFOLATAN coats
each leaf with a visible shield of protection against
blight spores.
Controls Early and Late Blight... Tuber Rot As Well,
A regular DIFOLATAN program of prevention defends
against threat of yield losses from blights and tuber
rot.
Complete Program Compatibility. Build your entire
pesticide program around DIFOLATAN. It’s compati
ble with almost all potato pesticides.
Won’t Clog Nozzles. No gritty particles to clog nozzles,
cause skips, slow you down.
Sticks to Leaves . . . Even Under Sprinkler Irrigation.
Superior built-in sticking qualities give up to 10 days
protection from each application.
Right For Low Gallonage Application. Requires less
water than wettable powders. Fewer fills, better cover
age, ideal for aerial or ground application.

A colony of honey bees is a
very interesting organization
They not only gather nectar, but
help pollenate many flowers and
plants, clean and ventilate their
hive, feed the young bees, and
protect the colony against ene
mies such as other insects, mice,
skunks, and curious boys. The
worker bees are the colony man
agers, the male dione bees are
ncn-woikers, and the queen bee
is the mother of all the bees in
the hive: the worker bees pro
tect and feed her at all times It
might be of interest to note that
in order to make a tablespoon
of honey, a bee gathers nectar
fiom about 2,000 flowers; there
fore, a pound of honey (32 table
spoons) would take at least 64,-
000 flower visits by a worker bee;
thus the common saying, “as
busy as a bee”.

Why I took my
loan business
to the Key Bank
that’s where theytalk my language.
There’s Stanley Musselman in the
agricultural loan department. He
knows fanning as well as I do. He
gave me some good advice on plan*
ning for profitable management ■—
even had some ideas on how I could
’ improve my operation. The cost of
my loan was detailed so that I had a
clear understanding of where I was
headed financially. I recommend the
Key Bank to get the best farm man
agement adviceand any loan needed
te improve your fanning operation.
Just ask for Stanley Musselman.

Livestock Breeders
Selection of a leal good sue to
head the held or flock is of ut
most importance to any In estock
bieeder, dauy faimers have the
advantage of aitificial bleeding
oiganizations to provide tl-n ser
vices of the best bulls m the
countiy Ho-vever, beef cattle
bleeders, swinemen, and sheep
producers continue to have to
locate their own sires Peifoim
ance testing gives consideiable
indication of the transmitting
ability of an animal and should
be used as a guide Local produc
es are urged to buy the best sire
available for usually they are the
ones that will do their owner the
most good Good sires are not
cheap but will often result in the
most profitable investment The
future of the herd or flock is of
ten directly related to the kind
of sire being used Don’t “pinch
pennies” when buying a new
sire
