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.

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.
