Washes For Scale Insects

A report Of the United states de-
partment OF agriculture says Any
good soap is effective in destroying
soft bodied Insects, such as piast lice
and young or soft bodied larvae. As
winter washes, in very strong solution
they furnish one Of the safest and
most effective means against scale in
sects. The soaps made Of fish oil and
sold under the name of whale oil
soaps are often especially valuable,
but variable I'm composition and mer-
It's. A soap made with caustic potash
rather than with caustic soda as is
commonly the case, and not containing
more than 80 per cent of water should
be demanded the potash soap yielding
a liquid in dilution more readily spray
ed and more effective against insects.
The soda soap washes are apt to be
gelatinous when Geld and difficult or
impossible to spray except when kept
at very high temperature. For
plant lice and delicate larvae. such as
the pear slug. a strength obtained by
dissolving half a pound Of soap in
gallon of water is sufficient. Soft soap
will answer as well as hard. but at
least double the quantity should be
taken
