The difference between the taste OF

EARLY SPRAYING FOR PEA LICE
is NECESSARY.
Z. N. CORY,
Maryland Agricultural College.

The pea and melon lice are the most
serious aphids with which the trucker
has to deal. Pea lice live for approx.
mately eight months of the year on
clover, preferably on crimson clover,
hence the first measure against the
pea louise should be to remove the
pea field as far from clover as prao-
teal or if it is necessary that both be
close together, the clover should be
turned under early in the spring.
Careful watch should be made in
April for the first aphids, which are
light green and about one-eighth of
an inch long, and spraying should
take place Immediately after they are
first observed.
A tractor sprayer with nozzles so
arranged as to direct the spray over
the top and both sides is the best ma
chine to use. Four rows can be
sprayed at once with such a machine.
Use BLACK Leaf 49," / to $40 parts
of water or 10 ounces to 50 gallons
plus pounds of fish oil soap. Using
rs gallons per acre, one application
will cost approximately s2.sO per acre,
including labor of two men, team and
materials. The same mixture is eff
fective on the melon aphis, a small
black aphis, but the cost will be high
or as the vines must be turned over
and back again, since the aphis clus-
ter on the under side OF the leaves.

The Extension Service Of the Mary.

demonstrations. These are for the
purpose of teaching the methods OF
mixing and applying the spray ma

value Of the operation. Ia these dem

growers are to furnish the equipment

of the quality and quantity of fruit

Controlling The Moth.

The Cooling Moth is controlled by
spraying with an arsenical such as
Arsenate Of Lead, Paris Green, etc.
Usually a combination spray is ap-
piled, using concentrated lime-sulphur
solution, diluted at the rate Of one and
one-half gallons to barrel Of water
for diseases, to which is added the
arsenical-two pounds. Paste Arsenate
Of Lead, or about One-third pound
Paris Green. Most growers use Ar
senate of Lead. If the powdered Ar
senate Of Lead is used-one pound to
the barrel is sufficient.
Many commercial firms are selling
Arsenate Of Lime in place of Arsen-
ate Of Lead. This is a little cheaper
and there is no reason why it should
not be equally as effective on apple,
but should not be used on peach and
similar tender foliage plants.
Apply Properly.
II IS very important in spraying for
he Cooling Moth that the work be
thorough, and that the spray be ap-
Piled with good power Power spray
srs are, Of course. most desirable for
his as well as other spraying The
foliage should be covered with the
spray and special effort made to lodge
the solution in the calyx cup of the
blossoms
Through extended tests it has been
found that the Cooling Moth can be
usually controlled with one thorough
spray applied Just before the calyx
cup closes, or as the blossoms fall
