Body Lice/ Mites Acute
Problem on Egg Forms
Body lice and mites are seri
ous problems in many com
mercial poultry operations, re
minds Jay Irwin, associate
county agricultural agent
It is difficult to determine
the dollar and cents loss to
the poultry mdustiy, but sub
stantial losses do occur in the
foim of i educed egg pi eduction,
poor growth and death due to
disease.
One study conducted at the
Umveisity of Anzona showed a
26 per cent drop in egg produc
tion when only 10 lice were
placed on each hen After 14
weeks the test hens averaged

Last year we introduced DIFOLATAN 4 Flowable. This
year it’s the fastest selling potato fungicide on the market.
There are a lot of leasons for this. One is that DIFO
LATAN is the only completely flowable fungicide you can
buy. That makes it easier to handle. There’s no dust to
bother you when pouring it. And because it’s flowable, it
goes through any nozzle. In other words, it won’t clog your
equipment
Andiwhen it comes right to the heart of the matter
fighting blight ORTHO DIFOLATAN is bettei than any
fungicide It being sold today.
It gives excellent protection against both early and late
blight And is pai Ocularly effective against tuber rot
DIFOLATAN sticks to the plant, icsists weathering
from i am or sprinkler irrigation. That means you can main
tain your schedule without worrying about the effects of
weathei or irrigation.
Protection against tuber rot is outstanding When you
put potatoes in storage, you’ll never know how well vou did
in the blight fight until you’ve shipped the last of them
Fields may look reasonably healthy before haivest, but if
you put infected tubeis into storage, you can find youiself
with a costly, heavy cull out of late blight tuber lot infec
tion
DIFOLATAN works to give you gi eater yields of
healthy potatoes. And—because it’s flowable—it does that
even better.
The first time you use DIFOLATAN 4 Flowable will be
the last time you ever see potato blight
Another good thing about the fastest selling potato'
fungicide. It works on cucumbers, melons, and tomatoes,!
too.
