Department of Agriculture Advises
Its Use in Ohio and Michigan Dur
ing Early Summer. Insect Has
Been Found in Colorado. s

washington, ID. c., July 24.-'rhe
insect known as the leaf-hopper that
has geriously menacsd the vineyards
of Ohio and Michigan may be con
trOlled by the use of a tobacco spray,
according to the scientists of the
Department of Agriculture. The time
for the application of this spray is
during the last few days In June or
early in July.
Successful control of the insect
depends on thoroughly wetting all
tested leaves with the spray liquid.
The following two formulas have
been used with excellent results:
? l. Tobacco extract containing
2.70 per cent nicotine sulphate. dilut-
ed at the ratio Of part to $50 parts
Of water.
2. Tobacco extract containing 40
Usf r6nt nicotine sulphate. diluted
1t the ratio OF l part to 1900 parts
of water.
The killing quality OF the tobacco
extract is apparently just as effective
when added at the same dilution to
the Bordeaux mixture and arscnate
OF lead spray liquids. which are used
to control fungOus diseases and
chewing insect enemies of the grape
vine- as when used with clear water.
No injury results from combining
these spray mixtures. namely, to-
bacco extract. Bordeaux mixture, and
arsenate of lead. However. the to-,
bacco extract should not be mixed
with spray mixtures containing ar
senicals in the form of Paris green
or arsenite of lime. for serious injury
to the foliage is likely to occur as a
result Of the combination.
; The spray application If made at
the time indicated will destroy the
Immature insects when they are pres
ent on the vines In the largest num-
ber. After this period Coward the
end Of July) a large percentage Will
have grown their wings and can no

In vineyards where black-rot. mil

gested that arsenate Of lead and Bor-
deau mixture be used with the to-
bacco extract to take the place OF
the second spray application In the
schedule of treatment recommended
against these diseases and insect
pests.
When 1t is deemed expedient to

thorough spray application made at
the right time so reduced the num-

crop and the vines for the remainder
of the season by those escaping the
spray was very slight.
The leaf-hopper's record for de-
struction has been great, and 1t has
occupied an Increasingly prominent
place in the rogues' gallery of grape

shown that the insect reproduces on
