Now that we've got your attention:
Before you buy a
Value Drive a Ch~~ry Impala
Because with Impala, value is standard equip-
ment — all the way! Things like computer-
selected springs. Flush-and-dry rocker panels
to fight rust, Bide-guard door beams. For pro-
tection. The standard 350-cu.-in. V8 that uses
regular gas,
The inside story of Impala is a big one. Plenty
of head, leg, hip and shoulder room. Rich fab-
rics, supple vinyls and foam padding for big
comfort. There's 18-cu.-ft. of trunk. These are
just some of impala's value features. We
haven't even touched on Impala's high style
or high resale value,
Now it's big trading time. The number one time
to get the number one car. Take one big Value
Drive at your Chevrolet dealer's today ... and
find out why.
RIGHT CAR!
RIGHT PRICE!
RIGHT NOW!

CORN ROOTWORM CONTROL
NEEDED IN SOME COUNTIES
farms located In areas that are
heavily or moderately infested
With the corn rootworm should
take control measures against
the pest this :spring. If farms are
only slightly affected by root-
*eorm suchcontrol; measures are
probably not necessary, says Mr.
Karl Bereza, Insect and. Disease
Specialist with the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agrieulture and Food.
The counties in which heavy
infestations occur are ES`ssex.
,Kent, most of Lambkin, Middlesex
and West Oxford. Moderately
heavy infestations also occur in
West Brant, North Lambton and
Norfolk. In all these counties,
says Mr. Bereza., infestation
pockets can occur within which
the rpotworm poettlatton can be
considerably greater than itt a
surrounding area. Thus. in marry
fields populations are below darn-
aging levels after 5 to 10 years of
continuous tort% The reasons 'for
the variation in density of Ate
pest are weather conditions, the
insect attraction to soil type, prey-
ionti years' populations, cropping
practices, and insecticide Usage.
At this time of year infestation
;n a field cannot, be determined
because the northern corn, Poets
worm overwinters in the egg
stage and is not visually 'detect•
able in the soil. A farmer Must
know what the larva population
associated With the roots was Last
July, and also the amount of el-
.bowed Or goosesiecked plants
that °centred in the field at the
time. BlhoWed of goose-necked
tiants are those that have been
affected by the sootworin and,
While still standing upright, have
their stalks Sent or nearly Snap-
ped into the shape of an elboWs
A. damaging infestation Is con-
sidttred to be present when, a. ran,
dom, sainpling of a corn
COntains an average of 10 or More
larvIte per plant, or when 10% of
the plants hi a field are elbowed

must be checked for damage to

At-these levels control Measnres
are justified;
Control can be effected in two
ways,' says Mr. Bereza. Since the
rootworm attacks only the roots,
rotation of corn with any Other
crop for one year effectively pre-
vents damage. The larvae starve
if corn is not present. This is the
recommended and simplest
method of controlling the pest,
Where it is undesirable or lin-
t-ii'nVtient 10 practice rotation, a
soil insecticide applied in gra Os
tiler form at planting time may be
used. It. should he noted that
.when an insecticide is used ono
year an application is not neces-
sarily required the following year,
Sometimes, ineffective or limit-
ed chemical control can occur du e
to excessive rain . end high soil
