T H R O U G H CHEMISTRY '"INHERE are thousands of different kinds of destructive insects-- billions upon billions of them--on the farms of this country. Un controlled, this predatory population would destroy valuable food crops of first importance to the farmer and to you. But the scientists and the farmers have banded together to fight these insect pests, and the result of their joint work is to make the American farmer the most productive farmer, and the American family the best fed, in the world. At Du Pont, research scientists are continually seeking for new and better insecticidal compounds to aid the farmer in his age-old battle against insect enemies. More than 30 such compounds, listed at right, testify to the continual effort of Du Pont scientists in helping the farmer with his task of destroying the destroyers. JE.
