Billbugs can wipe out your seedling corn in a week.

If you act now, one low-cost soil application of aldrin will control
: ? '
billbugs, insure good stands, eliminate costly replanting.
Billbugs have completely destroyed corn stands in 50-acre fields.
Many field tests and thousands of treated acres on farms prove
one aldrin application will give you near-perfect control of bill
bugs. But you must apply aldrin the right way. And, at the right
time: before planting. Here's what to do.
Mj any thousands of billbugs can infest an
acre of corn. Each one can destroy one
or more corn plants?and usually does.
Aldrin can prevent this damage?surely and
economically.

Why you must apply aWrin
before planting
Adult billbug? do the most damage. They hiber
nate in the soil, com* up in thp spring, find your
corn and go to work. They pierce the corn plant
at or just below the soil surface, feed on succulent
tissue and lay their eggs inside the stalk. Once '
they start feeding, there is no economical way
to control them. . .
The time to control billbugs is when they
come up out of the soil from their winter
quarters?before they have a chance to find
your corn.
This means you must apply aldrin to the soil
before planting.
Proper application also vital
Aldrin should be broadcast over the entire sur
face of the ground, then thoroughly mixed into
the top layer of the soil. The best time to apply
aldrin is after your fields h&ve been plowed and
before final disking or harrowing. You can apply

note: Do not apply in bands under the corn.
' This leaves untreated soil between the treated
areas. Result: billbugs can reach the surface of
the ground without contacting.the aldriiv
Treat infesled fields neat by
BiHbugs can migrate into your trejtcd fields
from untreated fields nearby? If you have land
known to be infested, and you intend to plant

well as the field scheduled lor plant
