A Champion Pest
The champion pest of destruction of

army worm" and poison bran mash is
the thing for him. Poison bran mash
is mixture OF Paris Green. bran,

mash Is generally sufficient for effect

A vegetable poison known as helle-

fruits which are nearly ripened and

OF chewing insects Is usually recog-
nized by the ragged or perforated con-
dition of the foliage.
To Hit The Suckers
The second group, composed Of
sucking insects, can be controlled by
oily or corrosive contact sprays applied
directly 10 the bodies OF the insects.
1t Is useless 10 attempt any control OF
a sucking insect by the application Of
a stomach poison either to the surface
or in 4 sap OF a food plant The
work Of sucking insects Is not so easily
recognized az that OF the chewing
group since the affected plants show
little external injury. Gradual weak
ening, whiting or shr.veling Of the at
tackled plant IS generally evidence Of
attack by sucking insects.
