TOBACCO SPRAYS.


bacco sprays.
For such insects as do not actually
chew and swallow PARTICLES of leaf
matter; in this class, particularly the
various species of aphis. there is no
better spray than the tobacco prepa-
rations.
Extracts of tobacco are now on the
market which do away the trouble of
preparing decoction. They are
highly concentrated and should be
used according to the directions on
the containers. The best known OF
these IS now sold in Washington by
the carload and is a product of the
Kentucky Tobacco Products Com
pany. 1t is known as "Black Leaf
and may be used one part added to
from sixty five to one hundred parts
of water. The black leaf is thick,
sirupy black substance which may
soil the fruit. A new form of the
spray is called "BIack Leaf-40. I"
This is nicotine sulphate and is so
concentrated that it will go ten times
as far as the old black leaf. AT this
dilution it does not stain the fruit
and, therefore, may be used on fruit
about to be harvested and on vege-
tables such as lettuce, peas, etc.
Any tobacco spray has it's effect
greatly increased by the addition of
soap. Soap made of cresylic acid,
sold on the market as "lysol' or
"cresol' have the property of liberat-
mig nicotin. If they are added to the
tobacco sprays they will permit a
greater dilution of the tobacco.
However, in the case of black leaf-4O,
which is nearly pure nicotine, they
are no more valuable than ordinary
soaps. Fish oil soaps, W hale oil soaps,
common laundry soap or even wash
ing powders may be used in combina-
ton with the tobacco sprays at the
rate of about one pound of soap to
every fifteen gallons of the spray.
Most insects have greasy body.
The tobacco spray should wet them
in order to kill them. A water spray
will not adhere to the Insects body
but the addition Of the soap makes
the spray adhesive and also makes it
have greater penetration.
The tobacco spray is particularly
adapted as a summer spray. 1t is
extremely valuable for all kinds Of
aphis including those species affect
ing house plants. The woody aphls,
black cherry aphis, the various species
of green aphis, the leaf hopper, red
spiders, flea beetles and young scale
insects all can be contIo oiled by this
spray. This makes probably the best
spray for oyster shell bark louise and
should be given for the insect as soon
as the young hatch, which is usually
about the first Of June.
Although primarily a contact spray,
the tobacco kills partly by suffoca-
ton. For this reason it surpasses
the other contact sprays, like kero-
sene emulsion or whale oil soap.
After an aphis has curled leaf it is
difficult to control it with kerosene
emulsion for the curled leaf keeps the
spray from touching the aphis' body.
A drop of tobacco spray, however, in
the leaf will give off fumes which will

VOX POPULI.
WHETHER OR NOT WE
WANT A CITY WHARF.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Mr.. Andrews states that for more
than twenty years lie has advocated
municipal wlarves. To my certain
knowledge l have heard it advocated
by the press and public in general
for over one year. Surely we have
had time enough to decide whether
Pensacola needs municipality owned
w1arves or not. If the city does need
them there is no other way to build
them than by bond issue.
The questions as to what kind of
wharves they are to be, what they
are to cost. or who is to build them,
are not what we are to decide now
We are simply to vote as to whether
or not we want the wharves and to
authorize the issuance of bonds to
pay for them. think we have enough
patriotic and honest men amongst our
city fathers to see that it is done ac-
cording to law, free from graft and
to the best interest of our city, (but
not without some negroes in the
wood piling).
Very truly yours,
G. w. OWEN.
