Aldrin controls them all
One application of aldrin controls them
for an entire season. It can be applied
either as an over-all treatment before

Where insect infestations were severe,
aldrin has made the difference between
a fifty-bushel yield and a hundred-bushel
yield.
Use aldrin this ■year to insure a better
stand, advance maturity date, help pre-,

Aldrin is available from your local in
