But take another look! Those fine crops, which mean so much to Canada’s health and economy, often depend upon chemical fertilizers. Weed and pest destroyers, orchard sprays too, are but a few of the services that chemical research extends to agriculture. Through good times and bad, the chemical industry plows a straight furrow, ever moving forward to create better things for farm, industry and home. Look-to chemistry with confidence for a finer future .. . and to the C-I-L oval symbol of an organization devoted to serving Canadians through chemistry. v:zZ?Ct Of
