tato tops, celery tops and onion tops 

 should be removed from the field and 

 burned when long-period rotation is 

 practiced. Diseases such as blight and 

 leaf spot may be spread in the rem- 

 nants, and their fertility value is 

 not great enough to warrant their 

 use as fertilizers with all the danger 

 involved."

Are you thinking of pur- 

 chasing a power spray rig? If 

 so, it will be a good time to 

 consider MYERS. Here is a 

 ine of Power Outfits you want 

 to investigate— It covers the 

 entire field of power spraying 

 including large, medium and 

 smaller capacity outfits, for 

 high pressure work. 



MYERS POWER SPRAY 

 OUTFITS are built in three 

 styles and five sizes. They 

 have been developed to meet 

 the demands of those who 

 spray for profit and watch re- 

 sults closely. Each outfit is 

 complete within itself ready 

 for engine and trucks, and 

 guaranteed by us for relia- 

 bility, efficiency, ease of oper- 

 ation, capacity and economy 

 in handling mixtures. 



Here is one reason they have 

 proved so popular among 

 fruitnien — we do not equip 

 them with engine or wagon 

 trucks but build each outfit so 

 that it is an easy matter for 

 anyone to do this, and in cas 

 you already own an engin, 

 and trucks it will not be neces- 

 sary to purchase new ones 

 when buying a Myers Outfit — 

 the old ones will probably do. 



We could name feature after 

 feature found on Myers Power 

 Spray Outfits that enter into 

 their construction and make 

 them Leaders, but prefer to 

 have you request a copy of our 

 complete Spray Catalog illus- 

 trating and describing all 

 styles including our extended 

 line of smaller capacity Bucket 

 and Barrel Hand Sprayers, 

 Nozzles, Hose and Accessories.
