Du Pont MANZATE' means higher yields of No. 1 tomatoes In more than ten years of testing and field experi ence in all important tomato areas, “Manzate” has consistently rated among the top fungicides for con trolling the five major fungus diseases of tomatoes. Look at the state-by-state performance: EASTERN SHORE —In Maryland tomatoes treated with - “Manzate” led in yield and “Manzate” led in control of serious infection ot grey leaf spot. In Virginia, large acreages of tomatoes sprayed with “Manzate” straight through the season came through with excellent control ot early blight, grey leaf spot, and anthracnose. NEW JERSEY —Growers who stuck to a regular disease control schedule with “Manzate”, under the most severe disease conditions, were very well satisfied. PENNSYLVANIA “Manzate” is officially recommended as the best control for grey leaf spot and Alternaria early blight. OHIO —In tests conducted against late blight, a straight dis'ease control schedule of “Manzate” was superior to 9 other fungicide schedules. Late blight was severe late in the season —at which tune “Manzate” demonstrated its superior power. NEW YORK —Early blight caused severe and near com plete defoliation in unsprayed tomato fields, but where a minimum of four maneb sprays were applied, control was excellent, INDlANA —“Manzate” consistently gave best defolia tion control (early blight and septona), and tomatoes treated with “Manzate” gave highest yields. Maneb is the preferred tomato fungicide because of its all-around greater effectiveness against the five most important leaf and fruit diseases of tomatoes in Indiana. Canning house records over a 10-year period show that where “Manzate” was used in the crop pro tection program for the last 5 years, the yield in crease averaged 75% over that of the first 5 years, when “Manzate” was not used. You and your con tract growers will profit by recommending and using Du Pont “Manzate.” 738 E. Chestnut St., Lancaster ORDER YOUR MANZATE From LANC. CO. FARM BUREAU maneb fungicide J. C. EHRLICH CO.
