IN STATE-BY-STATE PERFORMANCE . . .
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.”

• Higher yields of more No. 1 tomatoes are the payoff from a

in district counties, Henning
added. He also pointed out the
new district makes possible coun
tty-city cooperation in watershed
programs of flood prevention.
Declaration of the Lackawanna
unit followed recent similar ac
tion in Fayette county. Henning
said interest in conservation is
growing at an unprecedented pace
in the Keystone State, with Lacka
wanna being the 20th county to
form a soil district within the past
three years.
HENNING CREDITED increas
ing demands for water for agri
culture, industry and communi
ties with focusing attention on
the need to “hold the raindrop
where it falls’’ through soil con
servation.
