ton, in discussing the remedy for
this pest recently said:
/ The most satisfactory method of
dealing with an aphid outbreak is to
spray with a soap and tobacco decoc-
! ton.
ITO make an extract, place tobacco
stems and refuse in enough water to
cover this material and allow to stand
over night or to simmer over a slow
fire. Before using, dilute with ten
times the extracts weight of water.
The ready-made tobacco decoc-
.tions, of which there are many on the
market, vary much in the amount of
nicotine present and, consequently, in
the proportions in which they should
be diluted. Black leaf 40 should be
used with water, in the proportion of
! to S00-1 900. Dissolve whale-oil or
other caustic soap in gallons of wa
ter. If the water to be used for
spraying is soft, use or 8 pounds of
soap; if hard, use more. (The soap
makes the spray spread better Add
Il pint of black leaf 40, and heat for
five minutes. When ready to use di-
lutte with water to SO gallons.
In applying the spray use a noz-
zle of the Vermorel type with an
elbow, and be sure to spray the under
side of the leaves, because it is there |
that the aphids are located. For this |
reason, adding tobacco extract to bor-
deauX when spraying for blight will |
ordinarily not give satisfactory re-
suits in controlling aphids.

with bordeaux mixture before they
begin to develop on the leaves, they
die and no disease is produced.
In order TO spray effectively. one
must use a high power sprayer that
will develop a pressure of 40 to 200
pounds. A spray pump OF this pres
sure will make a very fine spray and
will cause a vapor to settle over the
entire surface of the leaf; but, if the
pressure is low, a large part of the
leaf and stem surface will not be GOV

tributed evenly
Where a good outfit is used. 30 to
80 acres a day can be covered when
the plants are small, and from 10
to 20 acres when the crop is we'll
grown. BY this means the actual
cost of spraying should not exceed 81
an acre, but this spraying cannot be
done effectively or at this low cost
with an ordinary hand power or

its compounds, applying it dry or in
the form of a spray. Free sulphur Is
. one of the best remedies against red
spiders. 1t is somewhat slower in it's
action than some compounds of sui
phur, often taking two to three days
or more to do its work, but it remains
active for a long time, frequently two
or three weeks, and usually kills the
mites.
Sulphur can be applied dry and be
driven into the citrus trees or straw
berry beds by means of a blower or
duster. In the strawberry patch it
can be applied by hand, or shaken in
to the vines thru a closely woven
cloth or perforated can.
1t is advisable to mix sulphur with
hydrated lime (3 to u. This lime
may be made by adding 80 pounds a
gallons) of water to 100 pounds of
quicklime. Mix the lime and sulphur
thoroughly. 1t is best to apply the
dust at night or early morning, in
order that 1T may stick better.
The dust is particularly effective
on plants like strawberries where the
leaves lie close to the ground.

SULPHUR KILLS SPIDERS
Red Spiders Attack Many Plants. but
Sulphur Kills Them

Red spiders are beginning to do
considerable damage in various parts
of the state. They attack a variety
of plants, but sulphur will control
them. Peas, strawberries, beans, cit
rus, cotton, Violets and Camphor are
probably the most liable to attack of
the domestic plants.
Infested plants become gray and
dried up in appearance and finally
turn yellow and die Strawberries
turn brown and remain small and
hard. If examined closely, infested
plants, particularly the under sides
of the leaves, are found covered with
a web of fine silk under which the
minute yelloWish mites can be seen
with the naked eye. Under good
lens one can readily discern the eight
legged adults which are from red to
green in color, the bright red eggs,
and the white skins which were cast
off when the spiders molted
These spiders belong to a group
called spider-mites, which includes
the rust mites of citrus The best
remedy for any of these spiders, or
mites, is some form of sulphur, ac-
cording to Professor j. r. Watson,

said, was ready to ply $4,000.

Gibbons he and Robinson would have
to put up $4,000 to get the option.
Gibbons complains that he put up
$4,000 and that Robinson supposedly
furnished $4,000 for the option.
The affidavit sets forth that on Sept

sell the orchards outright to Gibbons
for s22 900, and told him Stillman had
advanced his offer for it to $4,000.
