THE TOBACCO GROWER?
Manual labor shortages, high costs,
shortness of the growing season
exert pressure on the tobacco grower.
With efficient labor increasingly
harder to obtain, and costly—the
farmer must rely on chemical control
of plant disease, pests and weeds
more than ever before. This is the
chemical age on the farm.
MH-30 is the vital chemical that
prevents sucker growth and elim
inates the need for costly, back
breaking hand suckering.
For instance, a single acre of
tobacco can produce one-fourth of
'a million suckers. What grower has
the time (30 man-hours per acre),
energy and the money to handpick
these suckers? Why not let MH-30
do it?
■*> MH-30 is not for growers who sac
rifice quality to get quantity. The
grower who insists on high-quality
tobacco is scrupulous in using
MH-30 in the way prescribed:

• Top and treat when tobacco is in full
bloom
* Apply one pint per i,OOO plants
* Use a fine-mist-type sprayer
* Harvest when tobacco leaves are
fully mature
Over 12 years of research and field
testing have categorically shown
how effective and safe MH-30 is
when using the above practices.
Growers who use MH-SO as pre
scribed above are not only helping
themselves but also the tobacco
industry.
Tobacco properly treated with MH-30
has brought equal or top prices from
the most knowing bidders at auction
time. Spray part of your acreage
with MH-30 and compare.
Naugatuck Chemical Division of
U. S. Rubber, in its constant search
for new ways to improve tobacco
suckering practices, conducts exten
sive field demonstrations and grower
schools. Detailed instruction on the
use of MH-30 is available through
your local farm supplier.

CONTROL WHITE GRUBS
You can kill the grubs
which sometimes damage
lawns, according to Edgar
Udine, Penn Slate extension
entomologist. Use a half
pound of 50 per cent chlor
odane per 1000 square feet.
You can mix it with sand
.and apply dry, or mix it
with water and apply with a
sprinkling can over the area.
Cold milk is a summertime
refresher, as -well as a nour
ishing food.
