256 Bulletin 144. 



Recapitulation. 



1. Many of the recently introduced insecticides and fungicides are 

 no better than some of the older and better known materials, and they 

 are sometimes inferior to them. Page 249. 



2. Arsenite of lime prepared according to the directions of Dr. 

 Kedzie seems to be the best substitute for Paris green. Page 249. 



3. Powdered Bordeaux mixture has not given good satisfaction 

 with us. Page 251. 



4. Certain modifications of Bordeaux as proposed by Halstead 

 may possess some advantages over the common formula for special 

 purposes. Page 251. 



5. In spraying for insect foes, the kind of material used must be 

 governed by the feeding habits of insects for which the treatment is 

 made. Page 251. ' 



6. Bordeaux mixture seems to lessen the ravages of the striped 

 cucumber beetle, as also the flea beetle. Page 253. 



7. Thoroughness in spraying is one of the most important elements 

 of success and one often disregarded. Page 253. 



8. Spray at the proper time. Under no conditions spray with 

 poisons when fruit trees are in full bloom. Page 254.
