members from the Manor
Chapter here decided to start
at “the bottom and work op”
by taking their story to the
students at the Bambdgbt
Elementary School here on
Wednesday morning.
The fourth grade students
were oriented toward the
role of the fanner by viewing
a movie showing howfoodis
grown, processed and
eventually marketed. Dave
Charles and Carl lindeman,
both sophomores at Penn
Manor High School, advised
Although living in one of
the most productive
agricultural counties in the
world, many of the Ham
bright students reside in the
urban areas where fanning
practices are not readily
seen. It was for this reason

the FFA’ers from having the

Cattle Insecticide
Ruelene R insecticide has
been registered by the
Environmental Protection
Agency for use in the control
of cattle grubs, lice and
hornflies on cattle. Ruelene
R is a ready-to-use pour-on
formulation which is applied
directly on the backs of
cattle. A single treatment
with Ruelene R is effective
for season-long control of
grubs and Kce.Homflies will
be controlled for as long as
three weeks.
Dow Chemical U.S.A.
developed the Kuelene
family of systemic in
secticide products, with the
first pour-on method of
controlling cattle grubs
introduced to the cattle in
dustry in 1961. Since that
time Ruelene insecticide has
been applied to millions of
cattle around the world as an
effective control of the costly
peat.
Ruelene R provides a
convenient, year-round
method of grub, Uce and
homfly control. No mixing is
necessary, and the in
secticide can be poured
(firectly on the cattle without
dilution. No special equip
ment is required, and with
the pour-on method it is not
necessary to wet the entire
animal.
To control grubs, hornflies
and lice, Ruelene R should
be poured along the back line
of the cattle. It should be
used at the rate of one-half
ounce of Ruelene per 100
pounds of body weight on
animals up to 1,000 pounds in
weight. On heavier animals,
no more than five ounces of
Ruelene R should be used.
Label directions for the
product should be followed'
carefully. ,
