INSECTICIDES—FUNGICIDES—SPRAYS AND DUSTS 
DIRECTIONS—Insecticides are of two 
general types, as are insects. Biting or chew- 
Ing insects, which eat foliage, are killed with 
stomach “‘poisons”’ which insects eat with the 
foliage, flowers or stems. Sucking insects, 
which suck the juices or sap from leaves or 
other plant parts, are killed by contact or 
irritating “‘poisons,’”’ which close or affect 
the insects’ breathing pores or skin to kill 
them. Insecticides are not necessarily poison- 
ous to humans or domestic livestock, poultry 
and pets, though some of them are. Poison- 
ous materials are plainly marked. Follow 
directions for proper results without plant 
Injury. 
Fungicides are used to kill fungous diseases, 
affecting plants particularly. Follow direc- 
tions on each package to get proper results 
without killing or injuring plants. We have 
other kinds, for all purposes.
