Looking for larvae in soil in cottonfield infested with white-fringed beetles. • If you do not find adults on leaves, inspect the base of the plants and look under leaves and in the grass nearby. Reporting If you find adult beetles or larvae that resemble the one in the color drawing, place several in a small bottle of rubbing alcohol and send the bottle to your local agricultural agent, the nearest plant protection inspector, your State department of agriculture, or your State entomologist. When sending specimens, include your name and address and tell where and when the insects were found. Do not send live insects through the mail. PRECAUTIONS Pesticides used improperly can be injurious to man, animals, and plants. Follow the directions and heed all precautions on the labels. Store pesticides in original con- tainers under lock and key—out of the reach of children and animals—and away from food and feed. Apply pesticides so that they do not endanger humans, livestock, crops, beneficial insects, fish, and wildlife. Do not apply pesticides when there is danger of drift, when honey bees or other pollinating insects are visiting plants, or in ways that may contami- nate water or leave illegal residues. Do not feed potatoes, turnips, peanut forage, hulls, or silage made from plants from fields treated with chlor- dane to dairy animals or to animals being finished for slaughter. Do not allow grazing on fields treated with chlordane. Avoid prolonged inhalation of pesti- cide sprays or dusts; wear protective clothing and equipment if specified on the container. If your hands become contaminated
