what is f*r /
bux ? mg
Bux Is a carbamate insecticide developed by
Ortho for control of resistant and non-resist
ant com rootworms.
WHY BUX IS BETTER!
Bux is the only corn rootworm insecticide that
offers all the following advantages:
• Effective, season-long control with a single appli
cation no matter how early you plant, Bux stays
active throughout the hatching and larval stages of
rootworm development.
# Doesn't leave harmful residues
• Less hazardous to us. There’s no need to wear
special equipment such as a respirator or goggles,
■when using Bux.
• No objectionable odor
• Flows freely through application equipment
• Resists leeching in rainy weather
• Won't damage application equipment. Bux is
formulated on non-abrasive clay granules. So
there’s no worry of tearing up your pesticide ap
plicator.
• Recommended throughout corn belt. Bux is rec
ommended by University Entomologists in all
states where resistant rootworms are a problem.

She will only produce as much milk as the least
available nutrient permits. For instance, a 1400 lb.
cow milking 50 lbs. of 4% milk, needs, 3.05 lbs. of
digestible protein, and 25 lbs. of TDN. If after feeding
her the hay and silage we must still provide 1.88 lbs.
of digestible protein and 15 lbs. of TDN, what feed
shall we use? If we use a normal grind and mix of 13%
digestible protein and 71% TDN. 15 lbs. of the mix is
needed to meet the protein requirements. But, this is 6
lbs. less feed than is needed to meet the TDN require
ments.
If it sounds as if you must overfeed one or the
other to meet both requirements, don't you believe it.

Laming is one of the most important factors in
keeping your soil in the highest productive
range. By raising the pH from a level below

Although simazine gave weed
control at the beginning of the
season, it lost its effectiveness
as the season piogiessed. Dr.
Hcwetson lepoited By October,
simazine was applied only in
combination with dim on or si
mazine.
Three applications of the her
bicides were made for each of
the five fruits, making a total of
15 applications for each heibi

Trees in the experiment rep
