FOR CONTROL OF
Alfalfa-Spray 22E
Gets them all without the fear of
residues in milk
It’s the spray that thousands of Northeastern dairy
men used last year. Agway Alfalfa Spray 22E is a
convenient, ready-to-use liquid formulation of Du Pont
Methoxychlor plus malathion, and is highly recom
mended for the weevil and other pests.
Ask your AGWAY man for 22E again this year and
“play it safe/spray it safe”.
