e . _ this wonder insecticide has received so much favorable promotion through its use by our Armed forces, that many people believe 
it is a “cure all’ for all plant insects, diseases, household pests, live stock, and many other uses. According to the findings of the Was: 
Dept. of Agriculture, and other investigators, this not so. D.D.T. has its good points and bad ones too. 
Use D.D.T. as effective plant spray or dust against Japanese 
Beetle, Colorado Potato Beetle, Pea Weevil, Cabbage Cater- 
pillars, Leaf Hoppers etc. 
For Live Stock and stable use against Horn Flies, Common 
For household use, Flies, Moths, Bed 
Bugs, Fleas, Ants, Roaches and other household pests. 
Flies, Lice and Fleas. 
WE CAUTION ITS USE 
D.D.T. is not effective and does not control 
Seales, 
Mexican Bean Beetle, Red Spider, 
Mites, Turnip and Melon aphids and other 
plant lice. 
D.D.T. injures and retards Squash, Melons, 
Cucumbers and other cucurbits and corn. 
D.D.T. will not combine with lime and make an effective insecticide. D.D.T. is a slow acting insecticide requiring from 15 minutes 
to 15 hours for the kill. D.D.T. is made up in many formulas, combined with other insecticides for more rapid results, such as py- 
rethrum and rotenone. D.D.T. can be mixed with Arsenate of Lead, Black Leaf 40, Sulphur and Basic Blue Stone. 
wD. comes to us in many degrees of strength and carriers, as a dust or liquid. As a residual water dispersible spray, an oil 
carrier spray and a dust for dusting. Your Seed Store can recommend the kind to use for specific purposes. We recommend as follows. 
50% 
DDT WETTABLE POWDER 
A Dry Powder Completely Dispersible in Water 
Wettable Powder contains 50% D.D.T. in- 
timately mixed with spreaders and an inert 
diluent to give excellent wetting and suspension 
in water. It has been developed for use in spraying 
operations to control such insects as codling moth, 
gypsy moth, tent caterpillar, leaf roller, Japanese 
beetle, Colorado potato beetle and thrips and 
also, flies and ticks on animals and in barns. 
MIXING AND SPRAYING 
Wettable Powder can be used with supple- 
mental insecticides such as nicotine sulfate, lead 
arsenate, oil emulsions, dinitro materials and 
others. It may also be used with fungicides such 
as Bordeaux, wettable sulfur, neutral coppers and 
organic materials. When using with Bordeaux, 
Wettable Powder should be added to the tank 
last as a thin paste. When oil is used add the 
Wettable Powder first and the oil last. 
Wettable Powder should 
hydrated lime or bentonite. 
not be used with 
RECOMMENDED USES 
Note: The suggestions given herein are based 
on field experiments conducted with D.D.T. by 
the U. S. Bureau of Entomology, State Experi- 
ment Stations and other entomological authorities. 
Grapes—Grape leafhoppers, Grape berry moths 
and Rose chafers can be effectively controlled by 
spraying with Wettable Powder at 11% to 2 
pounds per 100 gallons using 150-175 gallons per 
acre. 
Potatoes—Wettable Powder is very effective 
for the control of all the important insect pests of 
Potataes including leafhoppers, flea _ beetles, 
Potato beetles, aphids, psyllids and tarnished 
plant bugs. The lasting effect of this material 
not only kills the insects on the plant but also 
insects migrating into treated fields for a consider- 
able time after application. Wettable Powder 
should be used at the rate of 114 to 2 pounds to the 
100 gallons, spraying 100 or more gallons per acre. 
It may be incorporated with the regular fungicidal 
sprays whenever necessary. 
Cabbage—For the control of Cabbage worms, 
and harlequin bugs spray with Wettable Powder 
at 14% to 2 pounds per 100 gallons applying about 
100 gallons per acre. Five applications at 2-week 
intervals give excellent control. 
Onion Thrips—Use 1 to 2 pounds per 100 gallons 
and apply 150 gallons per acre. 
Apple—Wettable Powder has been proven 
very effective for the control of the codling moth 
and materially reduces aphid populations on 
Apple trees. The recommendations for Apple 
spray programs vary according to Climate and 
the number of broods. In general, however, 
Wettable Powder should be substituted for lead 
arsenate in the standard program after the calyx 
spray using 2 pounds in 100 gallons of spray. 
Ornamentals—Trees, shrubs and flowers are 
effectively protected from such insects as Japanese 
beetles, tent caterpillars, rose chafers and others 
by spraying with Wettable Powder at 1% to 2 
pounds per 100 gallons (1 heaping teaspoonful 
per gallon). Where protection is needed for long 
periods of time add 1 pint of fish glue solution per 
100 gallons. 
Forest and Shade Trees—Wettable Powder 
controls gypsy moths, tent caterpillars, bud 
worms, Japanese beetles, green striped maple 
worms, red-headed pine sawflies and others. Use 
it at the rate of 14% to 2 pounds per 100 gallons 
plus 1 pint of fish glue solution. 
CONTROL OF FLIES IN DAIRY BARNS 
AND STABLES 
For control of flies in dairy barns and stables, 
Wettable Powder should be used at the rate of 
3 to 4 pounds per 10 gallons of water or about 
5 to 6 ounces per gallon, applying 1 quart to 100 
sq.ft. of surface. Walls, ceilings and rafters should 
be sprayed with the water suspension until sur- 
faces are just wetted, using a garden sprayer, 
bucket pump or power sprayer. Feeding troughs, 
feed or hay which may be licked or eaten by ani- 
mals should not be sprayed. 
CONTROL OF INSECTS AFFECTING 
CATTLE 
1. As a Spray—For control of horn flies use 
at the rate of 4 pounds per 10 gallons, applying 
1 to 1% pints per animal. Repeat applications 
may be necessary depending on the length of the 
fly season. In areas of Jight fly infestation reduce 
dosage to 1 to 2 pounds per 100 gallons, repeating 
applications as necessary. 
2. As a Dip—uUse at the rate of 3.2 pounds per 
100 gallons of water for control of cattle lice, 
goat lice and sheep tick. Make a thin paste with 
the Wettable Powder and water in a separate 
container before adding to the total volume in a 
dipping vat. Repeat applications as necessary. 
D.D.T. has a place in the agricultural field but 
will not supplant the standard products. 
PRECAUTIONS 
D.D.T. is poisonous to animals and man, and 
should be carefully handled. Wettable Powder 
should not be stored near food or feeds or where 
children and animals might get into it. After 
working or spraying with it, wash the hands 
thoroughly with warm water and soap.
