(Continued Prom Page 30)
1971 was begun June 22 and ended
September 28. From 1964 to 1966,
the fungicide trials were carried
out at a commercial nursery m
West Grove They were moved to
Longwood Gardens at Kennett
Square in 1966 and are still un
derway there
Each plot includes five plants
and each treatment is
reproduced six times, so that 30
plants are involved in each
treatment There are eight
treatments, including a “no
spray” treatment, to evaluate
control of black spot and an equal
number to evaluate control of
powdery mildew
These annual trials of the most
effective fungicides for control of
black spot and powdery mildew
on roses will be continued,
NTchols and Nelson state One of
their goals is to find a single
•ungicide that will control both
black spot and powdery mildew.

is important for top dairy production
From health-giving milk and natural butter to flavorful cheeses and popular ice cream, those won
derful dairy foods that start with the cow depend on some help from others, too
Modern farm machinery helps to produce and harvest feed crops faster and better
the cow and to milk her to make dairy farming more practical and profitable
But that’s just part of the story It’s the man who cares for the cow . the dairy farmer who makes
the difference with his hard work, his knowledge, experience and sound business management
We re proud to salute you, dairy farmers and proud to serve you with more efficient, more pro
ductive farm equipment for every dairying need. ' p
