GRASS CONTROL 
The University of Wisconsin offers the in- 
formation that CHLORDANE has proven ef- 
fective as a Crab Grass control, one appli- 
cation lasting for two years or more, The 
best time to apply appears to be either in 
the Fall or in the Spring not later than June 
Ist. IT DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE AP- 
PLIED WITHIN 4 WEEKS BEFORE OR AFTER 
SOWING GRASS SEED as the free chlorine 
given off for a time after applying is in- 
jurious to the new sprouts. RATE OF AP- 
PLICATION: 10 lbs, of actual Chlordane to 
one acre. This means that 5 lbs, of our 5% 
Chlordane Dust will cover 1000 sq. ft, or 1 
Ib, of the 50% grade to 2000 sq. ft. It may be 
applied as either a dust or spray. The im- 
portant thing is an even and thorough cov- 
erage. Chlordane thus applied also controls 
Grubs and Chinch Bugs in the lawn, thus 
discouraging Ground Moles by destroying 
their natural food supply.
