SPECIAL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENTS 



Corn Rootworm Insecticide Demonstration Plots 



We will examine the roots and count the number of worms per plant, for different in- 

 secticides applied at planting time. This will give you a chance to see the results 

 of the various insecticide applications side by side in the same field. 



We invite you to a "rootworm party" to make counts and evaluate the different insec- 

 ticides. (Bring a pocketknife.) If you cannot be there at 9:00 a.m. when they start, 

 come later. The counts will be completed by mid- afternoon.
