 Wherever leaves have been eaten the culprit is a chewing insect and the remedy is arsenate of lead sprayed over the entire plant. AS the insect continues to eat it will also eat the poison and die.
 When a leaf curls and shows a sickly color it is usually caused by plant lice caned aphids. These in- sects have elongated mouths that suck the juice from the plant. The remedy is to cover the insects body

Ants

"The ground where in- tend to plant my garden seems to be infested with ants. How can I eliminate them?"
 Answer: Ants on plants do no damage. When they have honeycombed nests in the ground it is best to eliminate them. Use one ounce of car- bon bisulphide in the opening This chemical is a liquid but when it comes in contact with the soil forms a gas that pene- trates downward. Be sure to cover the opening wits mud and place a wet blanket or burlap over the entire top of the nest.
