Various statements have been circulated giving a mis coding impression of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture's attirude on MH-30. Actually, the Department has fefused to prejudge this chemical. It is engaged in ireful, scientific review of MH-30. This will require many months. MH-30 has been tested for over a dozen years and used ln flue-cured areas for the past 5 years, in the burley belt for over 3 years and on cigar tobacco for 3 years. efficient labor increasingly hard to find and c °stly, the farmer must rely on chemical control of Plant disease, pests and weeds more than ever before. ©United Naugatuck Chemical Division Naugatuck, Connecticut C ' st Offices Akron • Boston • Chicago- Gastonia’' Los Angles • Memphis • New York ■ Philadelphia• CANADA: Naugatuck Chemicals Elmira, Ont.-Cable: Itubexport, N.Y.

On the average it eliminates 30 costly man-hours of back-breaking hand-suckering per acre. It is very common for a single acre of tobacco to be attacked by as many as 125,000 suckers. We believe anyone who insists on pulling them, by hand is fighting progress. With unseasonable weather delaying the crops in Lancaster County, MH-30 should be of extra benefit this season. This chemical control frees the farmer from hand-suckering and allows him necessary time to catch up with his corn cultivation, haying and other chores. THIS IS THE CHEMICAL AGE ON THE FARM. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 6, 1960—5 • Tours (From Page 1) farms visited this year were m the Manheim-Elizabeth town area. The tour last year was conducted in the south ern end of the county. Meanwhile, the Poultry tour gathered at the Lampet er Fair grounds and began their tour of poultry farms at the home of the county asso ciation president, Mark My er, Lampeter. During the rest of the day, poultrymen and their fami lies saw the poultry and oth er farming facilities of asso ciation members Included in the tour were the mushroom houses and the mushroom spawn production operation of Paul Farron, Kirkwood and the nearly 100 acres of Christmas trees on the farm of Joseph Leslie at Oxford R 1 Approximately 190 persons were on the tour.

The result is likely to be another over-all increase of around 5% in the cost of manufactured goods, follow ed by a “cost-of-living” in crease in all wage scales Another measure on the list of “must” legislation for the special session is Federal money for a greatly acceler ated program of school con struction There is no ques tion of the urgent need for more and better schools; on ly that of whether they should be financed from local and state funds or from Fed eral appropriations. One of the most critical of domestic problems—that of farm legislation is not on the agenda. Congress was un able to agree on what should be done at the regular ses sion and isn’t expected to do anything at the extra session Nevertheless it is expected that a majority of Congress will rise above political con siderations and vote in the national interest. We also hope that voters in Novem ber will re-elect those who place national interest above temporary personal gains For Permanent Fertility Use New Jersey Green Sand AND Colloidal Phosphate ON ALL FALL GRAINS & GRASSES Available in any quantity.
