County Agent Tarbell Reports
Many Fields Infested In Kent

After examining many tomato
fields i'll Kent County. William r.
Tarbell. County Agent, advises all
tomato growers to inspect then
fields for the presence Of these
pests.
The plant lice or aphids appear
in three forms, the green. the red.
and the black. and are found on
the under side of the leaves and
particularly on the young tender
leaves
These pests are sucking insect
and suck the juices from the plant.
They are not killed by ordinary
p0iSOnS.
An effective method of control is
to spray or dust with nicotine sui
phate commonly called "Blacklea
40"
If a spray is used, mix one pint
of liquid nicotine sulphate with loo
gallons of water. and add 4 pounds
of soap flakes or powder.
If a dust is used. obtain 3 pen
cent dust from your dealer and use
it without cutting.
Apply both spray and dust on {
hot day for most effective results
Both the spray and dust shoulC
reach the under side of the leaves
When the dust is applied with ;
powder duster. Il light cloth traile
at least % feet long should be at
tached to the machine to cOnlin,
