be used at each application, not includ

This may seem expensive, but 1t must
be remembered. the bulletin points out
that arsenate OF lead Is recommended
not for its cheapness but because II is
certain not TO inture the tobacco. lr
some years one application may be suf'
flcient. In others two or even three
may be necessary. The number OF
eggs and young worms that appear or
the plants will decide this.
Although the arsepate can be ap
piled as a water spray in the proper

ment experts. II is important, more
over. that there should be a large per
centage OF arsenic oNid in the poison
In order 10 obtain this the customer
should insist upon what is known as
the diplumbic and not the triplumbC
form OF arsenate OF lead, For his
guidance the bulletin lays down the
following rule:
In order to be sure OF receiving the
diplumbic form. demand that the man
ufacturer and dealer guarantee that
the arsenate OF lead you buy contains
az least 80 per cent OF arsenic oxid
I tAs 2'5) In which not more than one
7 per cent is free or water-soluble."
II is necessary to have n small per
centage OF free or water.soluble arsenic
in order to insure against burning the
