!nize For Big Task Before Them Al ~
Nicotine Dust Found Best to Destroy AM Kinds of Insects

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March H. Nicotine dust for the elimination of truck crop insects is said by Roy U. Campbell assistant entomologist of the United States department of agrl- culture, to be the most successful To- tion found for the suppressing or the insects.
 A report from the department at Washington received here says the following of the spray:
 Nicotine dust has several adNan- tages over liquid spray of nicotine sulphate. Busting requires much less weight of material per acre than spraying, and may be done in a much shorter time with lighter and less expensive machine, in most cases at less cost for labor. The tiny par ticles of dust reach many insects in accessible to sprays. Dust may be applied with hand dusters. horse drawn outfits, or power operated out fits, according to the size of the acre age.
 Nicotine dust is nicotine-sul- <phate solution mixed in correct pro

portions with dust carrier. Lime alone is ordinarily used for the car rier, but the addition of sulphur to the lime makes the material more effective against most insects. Sev- eral thorough applications may De necessary. These should be made when the insects first appear, be- fore any damage is done, The dust is most effective at temperatures above 6j degrees Fahrenheit and when the air is still. It loses strength if held for any length of time or if not put up in air-tisht con tainers, and should not be applied on a windy day.
 Certain diseases, as well as cer- tain insect enemies of vegetable can be controlled by adding propor- tion of powdered sulphur to the nico tine dust. Several forms of chewing insects attacking vegetable crops can be controlled by adding 10 per cent of powdered lead arsenate to the nico- tine dust used against aphids or thrips, and this combination treat ment is advisable when dusting small plants for cucumber beetles
