LICE DESTROYING PEAS.

Many farmers have discovered -@pea
lice on their pea vines this week. The
lice are devOuring the crop in every field
in which they are appearing. 1t will be
well for pea growers to watch their
vines closely to see whether the lice
have gotten into their fields. Lee O..
Truitt, who is with the Torsch Cannery,
states that they are going to use a spray
solution composed of tobacco water and
other ingredients in order to kill the lice
which have appeared in their fields.
Three methods of overcoming the lice
are given in Circular No. 43 of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which was issued February 25th
1909. They are as follows:
Kerosene EmulsiOn.-l gallon kero-
sene, l pound soap, dissolve in warm
water and add kerosene and mix thor
oughly, standard remedy for aphides,
carefully prepared and diluted with
about twelve parts of water, sprayed
upon the infested plants upon the first
appearance Of the aphides, and so ap-
piled that the leaves are wet on both
the under and upper surfaces, has thus
far been found to be the most effective
of the insecticides tried. A stronger
solution than than that specified is apt
to burn or scald the plant, particularly
while the vines are young and tender.
The Brush-and- CultivatOr Method. 49,
The best remedial measure that has yet
been devised is the growing of peas in
rows with sufficient distance between
them to admit a One-hOrSe cultiVator.
The "lice" are brushed from the plants
with boughs of pine with their leaves
on, and a cultivatOr then follows down
the rows as soon afterward as possible.
For the perfect successes of this method
it should be practiced in the heat of the
day, when the ground is dry and hot,
and the repetition of the brushing is
necessary every three to seven DAYS
until the crop is ready for picking.
Such lice as are not buried in the ground
by the cultivatOr will be killed by the
dust which closes their breathing pores, |
while a considerable proportion is de-
strOyed also by the force of the brushing.
We have abundant testimony to the
value of this method, but perhaps none
more striking than that on the farm of /
Maryland pea-grOwer. During the
season of 1900, a 600-acre pea plantation |
was practically saved by this method. |
After other means had failed, the fields |
were brushed and cultivated every third /
day for a period of two weeks.
The Brush-and- Pan Method-A method |
which consists in jarring the aphides
from the vines into specially prepared, /
long, shallow pans in which little kero-
sene is floating, dragged between the
rows, has given good results, the insects |
as they come into contant with the kero-
sene being all killed. A bushel of ''lice"
was caught to each row, 125 rods long,
in one instance where this remedy was
used. 1t is practicable only for small
areas.
