Stop the Stealing! 
V: 
If thieves made a practice of visiting your farm year after year 
to carry off a large part of your potatoes, apples, garden truck, or 
other crops; if in addition to stealing your choicest products, they 
spoiled as much more, you would do something to stop it. 
That very thing, however, happens every day on farms and gardens, through destruction by 
insects and plant diseases. The annual loss from this source is said to be over a million dollars. 
It is not necessary to “raise enough for the bugs and yourself too” for you can save that part 
of the crop which used to go to the bugs, or which was lost through disease. Spray with

The Spray that Adds to Your Profits 
99 
You can kill the profit-destroying leaf-eating insects and prevent the serious losses due to rot, 
rust and blight, by spraying with Pyrox. 
You can do more with Pyrox than you can with Paris Green, Arsenate of Lead, or Bordeaux, 
because I yrox is a combined insecticide and fungicide. Y his one spray serves two purposes. 
. You do not need to trouble with mixing or experimenting with different and unfamiliar 
materials. Just weigh or measure out as directed the proper quantity of Pyrox; mix it with water — 
and you are ready to begin spraying with a reliable insecticide and fungicide that has over twenty 
years of actual proven value to its credit. 
You can take advantage of every hour when you use Pyrox, 
for you need not wait to slack iime or to dissolve chemicals. 
You need no elaborate equipment of mixing-tanks, barrels, 
tubs and platforms. 
You want to be sure your crops will be protected against 
blight, rot and rust, and that at the same time destructive bugs 
and worms will be killed. You want to be sure that the foliage 
will keep healthy and green throughout the growing season, 
for that gives it greater vigor and enables the plant or tree to 
produce to its very limit. Every potato grower knows that it is 
during the last ten days of the growing period that the tubers 
increase in size most rapidly. Every apple grower knows that 
the last ten days the apples hang on the trees are those in 
which the fine color, size and waxy finish of the fruit are added. 
Those are the days which add to the reputation of Pyrox as a 
money-maker for potato grower and fruit grower. 
Read what Air. Arthur Gold, of the West Virginia Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, says about Pyrox for potatoes: 
“The best crop of potatoes in this vicinity this year had 
four applications of Pyrox. The foliage was free from blight 
throughout the season.” 
And referring to results with apples, he adds: 
“It has proven an excellent material in controlling apple 
scab, leaf spot, black rot, and blotch on apples, as well as cod¬ 
ling moth and curculio. I can strongly recommend the use of 
Pyrox, believing it to be one of the very best combined mate¬ 
rials to be used about the farm, garden or orchard.” 
Pyrox has been on the market for over twenty years and has 
stood the test of practical everyday use by practical everyday 
men. Why not try it and see if it will not do as much for 
you as it has already done for others? 
Cut it out and send it! 
Pyrox is sold by most Hardware, Implement and Seed Stores
