Compatibility of Insecticides 



Continued from page 10 

 senicals, except witli the neutral lead 

 arsenate, which is not afl'ected by the 

 alkali of the soap. 



Emulsions. — The above remarks ap- 

 l)lying to coaps obviously may also be 

 applied to the soap emulsions, with the 

 added danger that the emulsion may be 

 broken and injury result both from the 

 soluble arsenic and the separated oil. 



Contact Insecticide-Fungicide 

 Combinations 



Linie-Sulphur-Bordeaux. — This com- 

 bination has been used with some suc- 

 cess for the control of apple scab, but 

 with more or less injury to the fruit. 

 Definite classification must be deferred 

 until more information is available. 

 This subject brings to mind a "hard nut 

 to crack" that was sent in to the insecti- 

 cide laboratory in the form of a ques- 

 tion by one of the county horticultural 

 commissioners. The lower limbs of 

 certain trees had been sprayed with 

 bordeaux mixture as a check against 

 the brown rot, either just before or 

 just after spraying with lime-sulphur 

 for red spider. It was noted that if the 

 two sprays were applied within a week 

 or so of each other a brown deposit 

 was formed on the leaves and twigs 

 where the two sprays came together. 

 It was assumed that the deposit was 

 copijcr sullid. Now the question was 

 whether this reaction would lessen the 

 efliciency, either of the fungicide or of 

 the insecticide. Questions of this sort 

 are interesting from a chemical stand- 

 point and are of considerable practical 

 moment. Accordingly the literature 

 was looked over and a few experiments 

 were made and the reply given sub- 

 stantially as follows: "So far as known 

 to the writer, this reaction has not been 

 studied from a chemical standpoint. To 

 predict the products of the combina- 

 tion with certainty seems out of the 

 question for mixtures of such com- 

 plexity. It seems very probable, how- 

 ever, that a sulfid of copper is one of 

 the products. Llnder certain condi- 

 tions, free sulphur, thiosulphates and 

 sulphates of both copper and calcium 

 would also be among the products. A 

 few rough experiments made in the 

 laboratory indicate that variations in 

 the proportions of the two constituents 

 made a great difference in the appear- 

 ance of the final product. No very 

 definite statement is therefore ven- 

 tured. Various mixtures, loosely spoken 

 of as "copper sulfids," have been made 

 and experimented with by different 

 workers and they all are said to pos- 

 sess marked fungicidal value. It would 

 seem that the two sprayings under con- 

 sideration would lessen the value of the 

 lime-sulphur by removing some of the 

 sulphur to form new compounds with 

 copper, but that the new copper com- 

 pounds would be ellicient fungicides." 

 In reply the propounder of the question 

 wrote as follows: "My field observa- 

 tions have certainly been that the elli- 

 ciency of the combination against red 

 spider, for which the sulphur fumes 

 are essential, is greatly less than that

Made of heavy weight duck and so 

 arranged as to equalize the load on both 

 shoulders. 



The openings are arranged so both 

 hands can be used in picking, and the 

 drawstring is arranged so the fruit can be 

 let out at the bottom in emptying the bag. 



Tlie bag can be let down to the bottom 

 of the box before opening the drawstring, 

 thus not bruising the fruit. 



This is the best and handiest arrange- 

 ment for picking fruit that has ever been 

 offered. A trial will convince even the 

 most skeptical.
