Southern States Dusts Are Better— 
Here’s Why 
When patrons follow Southern States dusting 
program using the dusts and equipment recom- 
mended, most of which are shown above, they 
receive excellent control of the common insect 
pests and diseases attacking vegetable crops. 
Southern States Dusts are manufactured by 
skilled and technically trained men in a modern 
plant at Baltimore, Maryland, which is farmer- 
owned and farmer-controlled. In this way, costs 
are kept low and quality high. The recommenda- 
tions of State Agricultural Colleges in Southern 
States’ operating territory are followed closely 
in formulating Southern States Dusts. 
Southern States Dusts are ground and blended 
in a modern, well-equipped plant, including a 
high speed Attrition Mill. This Attrition Mill 
gives a blending and grinding action of dust far 
superior to the old conventional method of mixing. 
Because of the Attrition Mill, greater killing 
power is made possible by finely grinding the 
particles of the killing agent on to the particles 
of the carrier. The carrier, an inert, talc-like, 
finely ground material (Pyrax), disperses readily 
and enables the dusts to give greater coverage 
and better adherence to leaf surfaces and, there- 
fore, better control of disease and insect pests. 
The following Southern States Dusts are avail- 
able: 675, 620, 66, 75, D-3 and D-5. See page 11 
for complete instructions concerning the control 
of insect pests and diseases. 
Southern States Dusts are packed in 5- and 
50-pound packages and are available through 
your Cooperative Service Agency. 
Southern States Dusts are economical to use 
because they are manufactured by farmers in 
their own plant and are reasonably priced. In 
fact, you secure these high-quality dusts at cost 
through the return of the net savings of the 
organization as patronage refunds after the end 
of the fiscal year, June 30. Since they are coopera- 
tively manufactured, they are dependable, 
effective, go farther and give greater coverage 
and control—in short, have greater value-in-use.
