Panels show the life cycle, a lamp trap over water and kerosene, cutting and burning affected plants, DDT spraying, ploughing and flooding, and neighbours working together. The headline says community cooperation is needed. The tell is plain-folks, with transfer: ordinary farmers carry practical advice, and a proverb about God helping those who help themselves is attached to it. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Plain folks](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/plain-folks/) [Transfer](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/transfer/) ## Text on the object Original (Bikol) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` [Emblem: E.C.A.] ALMANAKI KAN MGA PARAUMA IPINUBLIKAR KAN ECONOMIC COOPERATION ADMINISTRATION KAN ESTADOS UNIDOS PARA SA IKAKARAHAY KAN MGA PARAUMA SA FILIPINAS.

Cooperation in the community is needed. You can stop the stem borer! Remember that God helps those who help themselves. [Life cycle:] 1. eggs gathered together 2. the eggs hatch and become larvae 3. the larvae bore into the leaf 4. the larva moves into the plant's body and eats it 5. after 25 days of eating it rests 6. within 9 days it grows wings; those with wings lay more eggs. How the stem borer does its destruction. [Control:] Catching nets can be used. Light a lamp over water with kerosene when many borers are flying. Remove the damaged plants. Remove all weeds and grasses in the seedbed before planting. Look for the egg masses in the seedbed; do not plant seedlings damaged by eggs. Do not destroy the eggs [by throwing away]; put them in a container with water and add kerosene. Remove the damaged plants; cut them at the base, gather and burn them. Remove the weeds, since that is their hiding place. On this occasion there are a few creatures that live by preying on the borer. DDT can kill the borer: use a 2.5-5% DDT solution, spray within 7 days; you can ask your farm supervisor. In large fields plough at once after harvest or flood the field for a week. If your neighbour's field is attacked by the borer, help him kill it, for yours is next. Do not wait on God's will while the borer attacks your harvest. Work together with your neighbours. Kill the borer!
