‘Will to Work 9
Urged as Key
To U.S. Ecomony
The United States is rapidly
reaching a point where “we
will find ourselves being out
produced” by almost every in
dustrial nation of the free
world, the chairman of the
board of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers said.
Addressing a recent sym
posium on productivity spon
sored by the American
Society for Performance Im
provement, in Washington,
D.C., M. P. Venema said the
real issue is the "survival of
this country as a significant
factor in the world’s econ
omy.”
Mr. Venema, who is chair
man of Universal Oil Prod
ucts Co., said the American
public—and industrial work
ers in particular—must be
made to realize the necessity
for increasing the productiv
ity rate. “Incredible as it
seems, the United States
stands last among industrial
nations in the rate at which
we are increasing productiv
ity.”
The industrial executive
from Des Plaines, 111., said
this predicament is the result
of many things, including
high costs for labor and
materia], back-breaking tax
loads imposed by government
at all levels, an aging indus
trial plant and the absence of
realistic incentives to improve
it, trade barriers which in
hibit our competitiveness in
foreign markets, and society’s
legitimate demands for ever
increasing expenditures for
environmental control.

DIFOLATAN* 4 FLCWABLE
The leading flowabie
fungicide made
DIFOLATAN gives excellent protection against both
early and late blight. And is particularly effective
against tuber rot.
DIFOLATAN sticks to the plant, resists weathering
from rain or sprinkle irrigation. That means you can
maintain your schedule without worrying about the
effects of weather or irrigation.
Protection against tuber rot is outstanding. When
you put potatoes in storage, you'll never know how well
you did in the blight fight until you've shipped the last
of them. Fields may look reasonably healthy before
harvest, but if you put infected tubers into storage, you
can find yourself with a costly, heavy cull out of late
blight tuber rot infection.
DIFOLATAN works to give you greater yields of
healthy potatoes. And—because it’s flowable—it does
that even better.
Another good thing about the fastest selling potato
fungicide. It works on cucumbers, melons, and
tomatoes, too.
