This problem may easily be solved by spray lng with ZW-Dry Mix added to the regularly used dormant spray oil and applied to the trees during the dormant season. This spray gives a COMPLETE SEASON CONTROL for the reason it kills all aphis eggs contacted, thus stopping the pest before it hatches. JDJV-Dry Mix when applied as recommended as a true dormant spray will not interfere with subsequent scale sprays; it assists in scale control with oil, is easy to mix, and requires no spreader, sticker or wetting agent. One thorough application per year is sufficient. For further information on .DAT-Dry Mix for aphid control, or on AM11 for the control of rust mites and spider mites in this area, we suggest you consult your County Horticulturist or your local Dow Insecticide Dealer. fJIf-DRY MIX Z&Jf-m SPRAY THI Seal ""k js y JUDGE CRAWFORD BACK NEXT WEEK Circuit Judge James W.
