“‘Just One Shot’’ 
Begin treatment 6 days after silk has appeared 
on ears. All ears should be treated by ninth day. 
As shown above, insert nozzle of CORNEX 
GUN ' inch into silk. SQUEEZE TRIGGER 
ONCE. This injects a measured quantity of 
CORNEX (about 1% teaspoonful) the amount 
needed for full control. Treat all ears in field 
irrespective of marketability to prevent migrating 
worms boring through husks of treated ears. 
Four ounces CORNEX treats approximately 160 
ears. Records show that the average man can 
treat 1,500 ears an hour, or one acre in 6 
hours, using 2 gallons of CORNEX per acre. 
The cost of this treatment, counting 9,000 ears 
per acre, would be about 544 cents per hun- 
dred ears. One CORNEX gun will treat 5 acres 
in three days.
