General
Insec+icidal
Spray, Dust
By ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

ONE OF the very hardest
things l do is try 10 identify an
insect from a description given
over the phone by the gardener
who is having trouble with il.
There are so many bugs and
beetles that are brown or black
as the case may be-and just
because one is found on one
type Of plant material does not
mean that il eats no other.
Which brings me TO what I
want to talk about-and that
is that without knowing the ex-
act name of the insect he is
troubled with any gardener can
mix a good general purpose in
sect spray or dust with very
little effort, and herewith con-
troll almost all insects.
Keep Handy
II the ingredients are kept
handy and the spray used on
any insects that are found on
plants 49, right after they are
found and not days later when
a large colony has formed
there will be very little need
for those phone calls.
Not that I'm not glad TO hear
from you and happy 10 talk TO
you-but I'd rather answer a
question or two that / can an
swer than try TO figure out
what a kind Of a greenish bug
or maybe a beetle is one your
plant with acknowledgements
leaves.
The best general insecticidal
spray is made by adding an
ounce of lead arsenate and a
tablespoon Of nicotine sulphate
TO 2 gallons of water. If you
don't want that much, halve
the quantities. A gallon of
spray is not very much when
you get going.
For Both Kinds
The lead arsenate is Of course
intended for the insects that
actually eat the leaves, the MIC
otine sulphate takes care of
those that suck the juices.
This is poison spray and
should be used only on those
parts of plants that are not 10
be eaten--or on the edible
parts a good month before they
are to be eaten.
Perhaps you prefer dusts 10
sprays-then here is a general
purpose dust that will control
insects. Use one part of cal
cium arsenate TO 10 parts of
lime. Since this recipe is given
in parts, whether you use tea
spoons or cups depends on how
much dust you wish TO make
up at any one time.
