Here’s a way
to store wet corn
most anywhere
Yes, right on your farm, ready for
feeding without spoilage, heating or
mold. In sheds, barns, regular silos, or
metal bins. Without investing lots of
capital in an airtight silo. Without a lot
of expense.
Use the ChemStor way. Apply
ChemStor® liquid preservative from an
approved applicator right at your
storage. Shell it, treat it, store it. To keep
all year, if you need to! Wet com that’s
the ChemStor w^y

David H. Rhone, who
ne a i?f office of
OSHA, uld the seminar has
been designed to acquaint
both large and small
busniess people with the
basic elements of im
plementing a voluntary
compliance program. “In
addition," Rhone said, "wc
will cover the compliance
policies, proedures and the
rules and regulations of the
OSHA program/'
The conference which will
be held at the Hershey Motor
Lodge and Convention
Center, is being co
sponsored by the following
chambers of commerce in
the South Central Penn

The seminar will be con
ducted by Rhone and
members of the OS HA staff
which Includes compliance
officers, industrial hygienist,
palatable, tops in feed efficiency.
And that keeps for weeks after rolling
or grinding for feeding, so
you save daily mixing.
The ChemStor way, you harvest corn
early, with less field loss, treat and store
as fast as you bring it in. At a cost
usually lower than drying. See us now.

Lancastar Farming. Saturday, Oct. 25.1975—55
scientists whose research is
deemed to represent the
most outstanding con
tribution to agriculture
during the past three to five
years. In ceremonies at the
Cosmos Club here, the two
scientists each received a
medallion, certificate and a
check for $5,000.
Dr. Dicner and Dr.
Semanclk were honored for
their research on vlroids,
microscopic disease agents.
Their research marks the
second discovery in this
century of a previously
unknown type of disease
producing agent. This
discovery could be the key to
unlocking the mysteries that
surround some of the most
serious diseases of plants,
animals and man.
• • /
The isolation and iden
tification of the viroid can ba
compared to the discoveries
of bacteria in the late 1800’s
and viruses in the first half of
this century. The viroid is
only one-fiftieth the size of
the smallest known virus and
consists solely of a short
strand of ribonucleic acid.
Despite its small size, the
viroid is capable of
multiplying in susceptible
hosts and causing disease.
Dr. Diener discovered the
viroid in research with
potatoes. Dr. Semanclk’s
work was with the agent
causing the exocortis disease
of citrus trees. Similar
agents may be implicated in
other crop and livestock
diseases that now result in
losses of millions of dollars
annually. Research is being
conducted to determine
whether some hauman
disease, including cnacer,
may be associated with
viroids.
Discovery of the viroid
suggests a new approach to
the study of diseases thought
to be caused by viruses, but
for which no virus-like
particles have been
heretofore identified. This
research also alerts scien
tists to the possibility that
additional types of disease
causing agents may exist.
Thus, much time should be
saved in avoiding research
seeking a viral agent.
Dr. Diener is a plant
pathologist at the Plant
Virology Laboratory of
USDA’s Agricultural
Research Center, Beltsville,
Md. He is the author of
coauthor of more than 90
scientific publications.
The award conferred on
Dr. Diener and Dr.
Semancik is named for
Alexander von Humboldt,
who achieved international
fame in the study of earth
sciences and ecology. He
was born in 1769 in Berlin,
German, and died there in
1859. He explored more than
6,000 miles of Central and
South America, collecting
plant samples and con
ducting other research. Dr.
Diener and Dr. Semancik
are the first sicentists from
the United States to receive
the award.
