KILLING INSECTS WITH POISON
Gus GAS

Fruit growers of California who
have long contended with insect pests
are now employing a new method of
killing the pests, which is said to be
exceedingly efficient. Under the old
system of spraying the trees, the best
result that could be obtained under
the most favorable conditions was the
removal of from eighty to eighty five
per cent of the insects BY fumiga-
ting the fruit trees with hydrocyanic
gas, 1t is said that one hundred per
cent results are usually obtained.
making machine has been re-
Gently placed at the disposal of the
fruit growers, which mikes the compo-
nent parts of the gas and liberates the
fumigating gas in any desired quanti-
ties. In the employment of this ma
chine, a tent is placed over the tree
which is about to be treated. BY
means of markings on the canvas the
number of cubic feet occupied by the
tree is accurately measured, and the
amount of gas to be employed is thus
decided.
The gas is liberated under the tent,
and permeates the enclosed space
thus fumigating every branch and leaf
of the infected tree. The gas is held
in the tent for about an hour. when
all the insects are usually found to
have erished.-Popular Science
