The little plant louse named aphis
is doing great damage in cabbage and
turnip fields, collecting on the leaves
and stems SO thickly as to completely
cover them and sucking the life out OF
the plants. AT this season a few of the
insects grow wings and mate. laying
eggs which hatch the next spring, pro-
ducing wlngless female aphides which
increase viviparously at prodigious
rate. The insect sometimes become 50
numerous as to destroy whole gardens
and orchards. Lamp oil will kill the
aphis, but generally the plant also. The
cheapest and most effective remedy is
to soak waste tobacco stems in water
and sprinkle with the water.
