Dear
Fellow
Scientist:

I
am
writing
to
you
in
reference
to
the
use
and
value
of
Furadan
4F
to
corn
and
alfalfa
growers.
I
have
worked
for
many
years
using
Furadan
in
my
plot
work.
In
all
cases
my
data
showed
that
Furadan
was
as
good
or
better
than
the
other
products
I
was
using
at
the
time.
I
have
used
Furadan
4F
to
control
grasshoppers
in
soybeans
with
execellent
results,
even
with
larger
specimens.
The
use
in
alfalfa
to
control
alfalfa
weevil
was
impressive
especially
when
you
had
to
only
use
it
once
to
control
the
insects.
I
did
not
have
to
use
a
second
application
because
the
first
was
sufficient.

The
above
is
the
gist
of
what
my
data
showed
when
using
Furadan
4F
in
plot
work.
I
hope
it
is
enough
to
help
you
decide
to
keep
it
in
our
arsenol
for
future
use.

Sincerely,

Charles
