Most Of the insect pests may be d.

that chow and those that suck. To
overcome the former n poison applica

swallow-whilo for tho others n spray
must be used which will kill by direct
contact with their bodies.

ever, may be divided into two classes,
for general purposes,-The acid arse
mates and the neutral, OF normal arse
mates. II seems better, from expert
ment, TO use the neutral rather than
the acid arsenates with a lime-sulphur
spray. Usually the directions given
say three pounds Of the arsenate of
lead TO so gallons Of water, but in dry
climates, such as that in eastern Ore

Kerosene (coal oil, as 1t is commonly
known is n very powerful weapon
against the sucking insects, but If used

the plants. BY making an emulsion

with water easily, the common combi.
nation being two gallons of the oil to

pound of soap. Whaleoil soap is best,
but others may be used.
To make such an emulsion the soap
should be dissolved in the water by
boiling IL, and then added, while still
boiling, to the oil. A spray pump is
the easiest and most thorough method
Of ohurning the mixture into the proper
consistency, a thick, creamy mass ON
