toxaphene ia to be mixed with
enough water to apray an acre;
usually it takes about 50 gallons
of water to spray an acre. But
some' spray equipment may be
wasteful and require 10C gallons
or more. Then some spray equip-
ment that puts out a very fine mist
will only require 10 gallons of
water. So, regardless of the type
of spray equipment used the main
thing is to put a quart of either
emulsion on an acre.

Grasshoppers are going to be in

the crop fields in the next few

Don’t get the idea that the whole

Meal-planning used to be a chore for me, but not any longer I
I just rely on ARP for menu inspiration. I find ARP foods so
tempting and ARP prices so thrifty, that it’s really easy to
put new excitement into every mesd including breakfast 1
WAKK UP AND CHEER!
Breakfast gets off to a grand start
when you serve glasses of chilled
ARP GRAPE JUICE. It’s pure,
full-strength juice of Concord
grapes that you’ll like either as is,
or diluted with
aV\r 1 Id water. On hot
V days it makes a
m f wonderful base
N H for fruit punch.
Or try it mixed
with carbonated
water. You’ll always get delicious,
healthful refreshment with ARP
GRAPE JUICE!
CRACKLIN’ CRISP ’N’ COOL
Bright May mornings seem even
brighter when breakfast includes
a crisp, ready-to-eat treat like your
favorite SUNNYFIELD COLD
CEREAL. Choose from a wide,
thrifty variety—-and you can be
sure that if it's SUNNYFIELD,
you get cereal at its crunchy,
nourishing best! No wonder
SUNNYFIELD CEREALS taste
so swell! They save you money,
too, at your thrifty ARP.
BREAKFAST BELLI
You’re adding extra appeal to
breakfast, or any other meal, when
you serve a lusciously iosd, fruit-
filled JANE PARKER COFFEE
CAKE. It’s so fresh and delicious
your folks will say, “It must be
homemade!’’ You see, it’s blended
and baked with the same fine in-
gredients you’d use in your own
kitchen. Try it!
FRESH START
"Coffee’s ready!” is the usual
breakfast call in most homes. And
it’s a wonderful one, if the coffee
is one of ARP’s superb blends. For
ARP COFFEE is one of the few
