BY MARY MAXWELL Centre Co. Staff Correspondent UNIVERSITY PARK - At last Sunday’s opening convocation of Pennsylvania’s first Governor’s School for Agriculture, Governor Thornburgh welcomed the first class of 65 high school participants. “You are pioneers,” he said. “You are not only a bright, ex ceptionally talented group of young people, but you are the first participants in Pennsylvania’s Governor Thornburgh and distinguished guests pose with the first Governor’s School for Agriculture. The school opened last Sunday on the Penn State campus. ... when the label recommends 'spreader-sticker" Sometimes you just have to spray, even under the worst of conditions. That's one reason you need Surfix® spreader/ sticker. Surfix keeps your pesticide on the leaf, through wind and sun and rain. It forms a bond between droplet and leaf surface that resists washoff. Surfix can improve your spray ap plication under most conditions. It reduces the evaporation of spray drop lets, sticks droplets onto the leaf sur face and spreads those droplets for more uniform coverage. Surfix contains more active ingre dients than most other spreader/ stickers ... one-third more than most competitors. This means it takes less Surfix to do the job. Thornburgh Opens Governor’s Ag School Governor’s School for Agriculture.” He went on to reflect: “Perhaps one of you will some day make a significant breakthrough in solving world food or fiber problems. Maybe one of you will develop a technology for better food, clothing or quality of life.” Penn State President Bryce Jordon welcomed the group on behalf of the University. In acknowledging the courses of study for the coming weeks Jordon said, “These topics and others are critical to modem agriculture, the study of which is becoming more and more dependent on science and technology and the accompanying equipment which is so necessary to precise science and state-of-the-art technology.” Also on hand to welcome the students, their parents, and other guests were Mrs. Thornburgh and Of course, no single spfay additive is right for every job. So Helena car ries a full line of additives. Your Helena man will work with you to select the one that fits your pesticide needs. But when you're stuck with bad weather, stick with Surfix.
