Once the corn borer gets into the stal impossible to control. Diazinon grs percent of the plants show feeding ( The U.S. Department of Agri culture has registered the use of Diazinon 14G insecticide for aerial application in controlling European Corn Borer. The new label calls for appli cation of Diazinon 14G by air when 75 per cent of the corn plants show first-generation borers feeding. Diazinon should be broadcast at a rate of from 7 to 14 pounds per acre over the corn so granules fall into the whorls. A second applica tion can be made 7 days later if needed. To control second generation com borers, the new label rec ommends application of from 7 to 14 pounds of Diazmon per acre when field counts show 100 egg masses per 100 plants. Corn may be picked immedi ately following application, however treated fodder should not be fed to livestock for 10 Diazinon 14G can be applied with a cyclone seeder or a high-boy spreader. ' ' P. L.

In announcing the new label, Geigy scientists point out that both Federal and state author ities in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, lowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne braska, North and South Da kota, Maryland and Delaware, are predicting that 1963 could see the highest corn borer out break in history. It has been estimated that more than 20 million acres will be heavily in fested and aerial application will play a major role in con trolling the insect. To stop first generation corn, borer, timing is cntial. Diazinon granules should be applied in early Tune so that they collect in the whorls of the plants where the young larvae are feeding on the leaves and stalk. Once the insect bores into the stalk of the corn plant, it is virtually impossible to control. 397-3539 Pennmarva Urges Merger Pennmarva Dairymen’s Coop erative Federation, Inc has re quested* the U S Depaitment o£ Agriculture for a hearing to com ' bine Philadelphia Federal Oi der 4.
