THE MELON APHIS

4. Several species of young syrphus
flies. The adults are yellowish in col.
or aud are sometimes known as sweet
bees. They eat the honey dew sec
reted by the aphis, but their young,
which are footless, sluglike worms.
eat about as many aphids as the lady
bugs.
3. The internal parasites. These, in
many places are now present in num-
bers equal to the melon aphis. They
are like the little bees that sting and
lay eggs in the green bug. A few days
after an egg is laid in the body of the
melon louise by them, the louise turns
brown and is attached to the leaf by
the young bee which hatches from
the egg. Within a week or ten days
the young bee gnaws a circular hole in
the top OF the aphids body, through
which II escapes.
Artificial Methods OF Control: Ac.
oording to our experiments at this sta
tion we have learned that Black Leaf,
tobacco decoction, is superior to
any other insecticide for controlling
the melon louise as well as other allied
forms. This insecticide will not seri.
ously injure the enemies OF the melon
louise. IL Is contact spray meant
especially for the soft bodied insects.
Many of the enemies of the louise are
hard-shelled. and withstand the effects
OF the application remarkably well.
This solution is manufactured by the
Kentucky Tobacco Product Company.
Louisville. Ky. and is generally sold
at the rate of one dollar per single
gallon or eighty-five cents a gallon in
five gallon lots. Although its use has
been advised by this Station for the
past few years 1t is not yet generally
upon the market. A similar spray
solution, known as Black Leaf 40, Is
equally effective hut is more highly
concentrated, and is sold at a higher
price; in its dilutlon more water can
be used than in Black Leaf. The Black
Leaf should be applied by means OF
spray pump fitted with an extension
rod provided with an upturned nozzle.
The spray should be directed toward
the under side OF the leaves where
the plant lice are present. One gall
lon OF the Black Leaf is sufficient for
spraying about an acre OF plants. If
applied at the proper time. that is
when the infestation begins, 1t will
not be necessary to spray the entire
field, only the plants that are infested
should be sprayed. Often times not
more than from five o twenty-five per
cent OF the vines will be infested ir
spraying is resorted to in the begin
ming of the infestation.

The life history OF the melon louise
is comparatively unknown. We know
how it passes through the summer sea

do not know where or how 1t spends
the winter in this latitude. Its first
appearance is often noted on young
cotton plants. Soon after the cotton

ever, is shown on the water melon
and cantaloupe vines. There are two
forms of the aphis; one has wings
and the other has none. Both,
however, are females that pro
duce young at the rate of six or eight
per day
The melon louise has about fifteen
enemies in the form OF other insects.
All of the enemies reproduce by lay
ing eggs. In cold weather the louise
itself can reproduce as rapidly as in
hot weather. The eggs of the enemies,
however, will not hatch quickly in cool
weather; this fact is one of the rea-
sons why the melon louise is so serious
at the present time. While the wealth
er has not been cold, II has been too
cool for the rapid development of
such insects as prey upon other In
