Grow healthy alfalfa
with Alfa-tox for weevil control.
Absolutely no residue in milk.
Here's the nearest thing yet to a
"perfect" alfalfa insecticide. Spray
Alfa-tox* ... which contains both
Diazinon® and methoxychlor . . .
for control of alfalfa weevil. Con
trol you can depend on to protect
alfalfa against this destructive in
sect. And just about every other
insect known to attack alfalfa.
A'properly timed spray of Alfa
tox will protect your first cutting.
Check alfalfa bud tips frequently
and treat by the time 30-50 per
cent of the bud tips show signs of
larvae feeding. This provides ef
fective control of larvae which have
already hatched, as well as larvae
which hatch following application.
Under normal conditions, con-
trol of weevil with Alfa-tox lasts
for two to three weeks, which is

plication is necessary, it may be
made up to seven days before cut

You can be sure of no danger of
insecticide residue in milk with
Alfa-tox. All you have to do is wait
seven days after spraying before
you graze livestock or cut for gieen
chop or hay.
Ask your supplier for Alfa-tox
... an insecticide you can depend
on to be effective.
