Agricultural guidance for pests and vaccination in county farming
The notes advise using DDT dust at 16.1 pounds per acre for sprays to combat horned worm and fruit worm, vaccinating Newcastle disease in chicks at one to ten days old with a second shot around twelve weeks, and using 10 percent DDT dust or 20 percent Texaphene dust for cutworms. It also suggests a 2 to 1 mix of Texaphene and DDT for sprayers and encourages side dressing corn with nitrogen fertilizer for higher yields.
