Dow Lead Arsenate 
Thousands were misled into using substitutes 
for Lead Arsenate last year and paid heavily, be¬ 
cause the substitutes were ineffective, caused ser¬ 
ious injury and did not control the insects. 
Protect your crops with the reliable Dow Lead 
Arsenate and wash your crops before marketing, 
if necessary. Dow Lead Arsenate is the practical 
insecticide for leaf-eating and chewing insects, 
bugs and worms. It is also widely used on lawns 
and golf greens.

blotch, etc., also such insects as red spider and 
rust mite. Control is assured, while burning and

mended for controlling potato bugs, and, with¬ 
out doubt, is the highest quality low-priced in¬ 
secticides available. Potato bugs succumb quicker

Dow Magnesium Arsenate 
Recommended for Bean Beetle Control 
The Mexican Bean Beetle is the most destruc¬ 
tive insect attacking beans. Unless controlled, 
it will destroy an entire bean crop in a surpris¬ 
ingly short time. The bean beetle can be con¬ 
trolled without much difficulty if recommended 
spraying practices are followed ; however, the bean 
plant is exceptionally tender and injury is al¬ 
most certain unless proper materials are used. 
Dow Magnesium Arsenate is recommended by 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture and experi¬ 
mental stations located in bean-producing states. 
It is recommended because it controls the beetle 
without damaging the tender bean foliage. Un¬ 
less a Magnesium Arsenate is properly manufact¬ 
ured, it cannot be depended upon to give satis¬ 
factory results. Dow Magnesium Arsenate has 
been successfully used for more than ten years 
and will not burn foliage. Insist upon Dow 
' brand.

Dow Paris Green

controlling the hard-to-kill insects. Paris Green 
has been used extensively for many years for 
spraying and dusting purposes; also for use in 
poison baits for killing grasshoppers and cut¬ 
worms. It is still the old favorite for controlling 
extremely ravenous insects which are destructive 
to certain vegetation. 
Dow Paris Green is properly manufactured, th#

age to foliage results from its proper use. It is 
especially recommended for the control of potato 
beetles, tobacco worms, grasshoppers, cutworms, 
army worms, and sugar beet webmorms, as a 
high-powered poison is essential for quick results. 
Bordow 
Copper is a destroyer of the spores which 
cause many fungous diseases of fruits, vegetables, 
etc. To be effective, the fruit and foliage should 
be well coated with a filmy covering of Bordow 
before the disease makes its attack. Then, as the 
spores are deposited by winds, birds, insects, etc., 
they are killed by contact with the copper in the 
Bordow. 
Bordow is a scientifically prepared copper fungi¬ 
cide, blended in the proper proportions for use. 
Being a fine powder, free from lumps, it remains 
well in suspension and adheres to foliage. 
Paradow

crystalline substance which vaporizes slowly at 
ordinary temperatures. The gas given off is ap¬ 
proximately five times heavier than air and its 
odor resembles that of napthalene. The gas 1 b 
harmless to man, but decidedly poisonous to many 
insects when they are exposed to it for a con¬ 
siderable period of time. 
PEACH TREE BORER — Paradow is used in 
numerous ways, but its chief use is in control 
of the peach tree borer. Results obtained have 
been sufficiently satisfactory to warrant its uni¬ 
versal adoption for this purpose in practically all 
peach growing territories. 
The proper time to apply Paradow for best 
results in killing the peach tree borer is just 
after the eggs are hatched and the young larvae 
are present. This varies in latitudes and seasons 
from September first in the North to October 10 
in Georgia and Texas. Do not neglect this im¬ 
portant protection. Get your supply now.
