The most common Of these contact
poisons Is nicotine sulphate-a tobac-
co extract-made Of tobacco refuse
from factories. This Is poison and,
to be effective in killing the "lice"
without injuring the plants, must be
used exactly according to the direc-
tons given on the container. United
States Department of Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin $685. on the control
Of garden diseases and insects, has
the following to say regarding the use
of nicotine sulphate:
"For small garden plats one tea
spoonful Of nicotine sulphate should
be used to one gallon Of water, to
which a one-inch cube Of hard soap
should be added and thoroughly mixed.
II larger quantity Is desired, use one
fuid ounce to eight gallons Of water,
with the addition Of one-half pound Of
soap. Full directions are given on the
covers Of packages, and instructions
accompany them.
i Effective Application Of Spray.
I'm the use Of nicotine sulphate the
effective application Of the spray is Of
the utmost Importance, since 1t is pri-
marily upon this that the success or
Failure Of the treatment depends. II
the liquid has stood for any length Of
time it should be agitated thoroughly
before use. The insects themselves
must receive q thorough coat of the
spray or they will not be killed, and
immediate inspection after spraying
should show the foliage occupied by
the insects to be completely wet.
Spraying should be done as early
as possible, always on the first appear
ance of the insect, not only because
1t is good practice to keep the plants
free from pests but because more thor
ough work can be done on small plants. %
The main point is to start the fight
In time and kill the advance scouts
and head off the main army Of insect
