Pennsylvania hunters will have
their first chance ever to hunt hen
pheasants this year hi a limited
portion of the state, according to
a report from the Pennsylvania
Game Commission.
For the first time since 1915
they will be able to harvest two
wild turkeys during a single
hunting license year, one m the
fall and a second in the spring.
And season limits for most
small game species will give way
to possession limits in 1972.
Safe Driver Awards To Weaver Employees
Victor F. Weaver, Inc recently
presented 29 of its truck drivers

B Sauder, Supervisor of Fleet

DIFOLATAN*
leading flowable
The
fungicide made
potato blight.
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 ram 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

winter small game and archery
deer seasons will begin on
December 26 and close on
January 13.
Several other changes were
also made from the 1971-72
seasonal setup.
Antlerless deer license
allocations for the state were
lowered, the closed portion of the
state during the winter archery
deer season was eliminated, the
mink and muskrat trapping
season was shortened, and an
extra hour was added to the daily
hunting schedule during the
spring gobbler season.
Most of the upper one-third of
Pennsylvania does not have self
sustaining pheasant populations.
For years only male pheasants
have been stocked in portions of
21 northern counties. By
liberating hens in this area and
making them legal game, an
economic saving in game farm
operations can be realized.
It is apparent that season limits
on small game species are vir
tually unenforceable, and that
hunters use these limits as goals.
So the Game Commission
established possession limits for
small game, with the exception of
turkeys and hares. Small game
possession limits will be double

Although Pennsylvania’s deer
herd is growing dangerously
large again in some areas, the
number of antlerless licenses
allocated was reduced in 1972.
