Success [Continued from Page 33] coordinates the building with the equipment. “We almost have to do this,” says Mrs. Hershey, “because the construction for some of our equipment has to be done just so, or it is useless.” So, the Hersheys have hired a building coordinator. At present they are sub contracting and having a carpenter do their work for them, but in the future they have a projected aim of PLAN NOW FOR THE 1977 SEASON WE WILL • REVIEW SOIL TESTS • ANALYZE FERT.

New Spring wheat resists rust problems ST. PAUL, Minn. - New spring wheat lines are a source of general resistance to both stem and leaf rusts. The general resistance is effective against all races of rust fungi, says Roy Wilcoxson, plant pathologist at the University of Min nesota. In the past, varieties have had resistance only to a portion of the races present in nature. ‘Tf this generalized resistance can be exploited we should be able to reduce the losses of rust to ap proximately 10 or 15 per cent during a severe epidemic. Varieties without generalized resistance can suffer extensive losses of 50 to 90 per cent.
