(From page 6) MH-30-To spray or not to spray? What does “Lancaster Farming” say about this?* FROM WHERE WE STAND- Various statements have been circulated giving a mis leading impression of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture's attitude on MH-30. Actually, the Department ,has refused to prejudge this chemical. It is engaged in careful, scientific review of MH-30. This will require many months.* MH-30 has been tested forovera dozen years and used in the flue-cured areas for the past 5 years, in the burley belt for over 3 years and on cigar tobacco for 3 years. With efficiehflobor increasingly hard to find and costly, the farmer must rely on chemical control of plant disease, pests and weeds more than ever before.

The former dairy and general farm resounds once again to the sound of horses hooves and whinney of foals lost from their mothers as it must have when this country was much younger and horses on every farm was the rule.

There will be many farmers willing to test them out this year. least that’s how it looks from we stand. MH-30 is such a chemical. 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.
