MILLER “1,1. F." kills weevils & fertilizes
all in one easy spreading!,
I
| insecticide
I impregnated
I fertilizer
Give your forage double protection this Fall. Actual
farmer experience has proven conclusively that Miller
i“1.1.F.” controls the destructive alfalfa weevil and
'spittlebug... and produces a sturdy crop, too. Only
(Miller fertilizer is intimately blended with either powerful
Dicldrin or Heptachlor to protect your crop now *.. and
give you a greater yield next spring. Miller “1.1. F.” must
be applied in the Fall, while the alfalfa is dormant and
before the adult weevil lays its eggs.
Important: “1.1. F.” with Dieldrin or Heptachlor
should be applied after last cutting in fall, Hepta
chlor should be applied before November 15. For
specific timing in your area, consult your local
agricultural authority. Do not use treated fields for
grazing until after first cutting in spring.
