GRAIN PROTECTION - For protection of stored grain (wheat, oats, rice, corn, rye, 
barley and grain sorghum), against infestation by rice weevil, granary weevil, cadelle, 
saw-toothed gr~in beetle, confused flour beetle and red flour beetle, apply this dust 
uniformly at the rate o' '2 lbs. for each 1,000 bushels as the grain is being loaded

On the farm, any c"nv~:<_.mt method may be used to apply and mix the dust uniformly in 
the grain. Fo~ exa~r:.' tre dust may be added to filled combine hoppers. If a hopper 
holds 50 bushels, 3/5 1 , dust should be added to each hopper full. For quantities 
smaller or larger thar lhels, use 1/5 lbs. of dust for each 16 2/3 bushels. The
