lice increase enormously in a short
period, therefore, growers should be
ready to spray the vines with Black.
leaf, tobacco decoction, diluted at
the rate of one part of the solution to
500 parts Of water, when the first lice
appear.
An eight per cent Kerosene Emul-
sion will also control the insect If
Blackleaf is not at hand. Also strong
soap solution would be effective, but
every pea-grower should have Black.
leaf on hand.
Peas on the field can best be sprayed
with three or four row traction
sprayer, as the first lice will appear
probably before the vines fall down.
A barrel sprayer can also be used for
the work If necessary.
BY all means watch the patch and
catch the first generation Of lice.
