WHICH PAYS BEST? 
More Potatoes And 
Better Ones 
It was discovered long ago that potatoes 
produce more heavily when sprayed with a 
suitable fungicide. 
The New York Experiment Station says — 
‘Tt does not pay to spray for bugs alone.’’ 
Their ten years’ experiments with fungicides 
show an average yearly gain of 91V 2 bushels 
of potatoes per acre. A nineteen-year test at 
the Vermont Station shows an average yearly 
gain of 109 bushels per acre. 
Spray to prevent blight — it pays. 
Bugs are bad, but blight is worse although 
the spores that cause it can be seen only un¬ 
der a powerful microscope. 
When you spray only with poison you are 
not getting the return you should for your 
work. You need a fungicide also. 
PYROX is both a poison and a fungicide. 
It kills the bugs and flea beetles, prevents 
blight, invigorates the vines, imparts a rich 
green color to the leaves, and gives the 
potatoes a chance to become big ones.

MARK REGISTERED 
Pyrox is a smooth, creamy paste, all ready to use by mixing with 
cold water. Just measure it out, it mixes easily and saves time 
and labor at the busiest time of the year. In a letter to a friend, 
the Editor of Xhe Fruit Belt” says: *‘I have made up many 
thousands of barrels of spray mixtures on the farm, and I can say 
to you I have mixed my last barrel. I now use Pyrox.” 
Pyrox is as good for apples, tomatoes and other fruits and vege¬ 
tables as it is for potatoes. 
Most good agricultural supply dealers sell Pyrox. Last year the 
demand for Pyrox exhausted the dealers’ supplies. Why not see 
your dealer at once about your supply? If he does not handle 
Pyrox be sure to fill in his name when mailing the coupon below.

“IRON AGE” MANUFACTURER USES 
PYROX 
Mr. Fred H. Bateman, who is at the head of the 
company manufacturing the well-known *‘lron Age” 
tools, is a real farmer. October 25, 1916, he wrote: 
“/ investigated the merits of your Pyrox and this 
season have used four tons or more. I used it on 
potatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, cantaloupe, grapes 
and watermelons, with very satisfactory success,” 
BIG YIELD DUE TO PYROX 
J. C. Carver & Co., Marumsco, Md., write: 
**We used Pyrox on our potato crop and got a big 
crop—110 barrels to the acre. They kept green all 
the time, although we had a long drouth. We at¬ 
tribute our large yield to Pyrox.”
