By Roberta Willett Marida Winchell Health Day Program The annual Health Day pro As any backyard gardener knows, you have a fight on your hands from the moment you turn over your first ' spadeful of earth. At every step, fungus growths, weeds and insects wait to destroy your lawns, trees, plants. A disheartening struggle for Greenthumbers ... a round-the-clock fight for commercial farmers. Fortunately, there's a growing list of weapons you can wield in the battle against bugs. Some of the most effective have been developed by Standard's subsidi ary, California Spray-Chemical Corporation. In 1907, we brought out the first basic lead arsenate to stop the codling moth, a rampaging fruit crop destroyer; later, the invention of new-type summer and dormant oil sprays safely checked scale and other insects. i i I ' ' In V 3f ft - Red Spider Mite ' Pea Weevil House Fly ff ly Moth : Colorado Potato I ..
