SUGGESTS CHEAPER SPRAY 

 MATERIALS. 



Arsenate of lead for controlling 

 chewing insects on fruit and vege- 

 tables has doubled in price as a re- 

 sult of war conditions. Growers are 

 asking if there is some other poison 

 which has been less affected In price. 

 .\a a substitute insecticide, calcium 

 arsenate or arsenate of lime is effec- 

 tive so far as Insects on vegetables 

 are concerned, suggests J. T. Rosa. Jr., 

 of the University of Missouri College 

 of Agriculture. In fact, it may be su- 

 perior under moist humid conditions, 

 for it does not burn and sticks to the 

 foliage better than the lead arsenate, 

 which is a good sticker. Fields of 

 potatoes sprayed with arsenate of lime 

 for control of the beetle show the 

 white coat of poison even after heavy 

 rains. Another substitute is arsenite

111 /.iiu . uliitli is ii.-.il in place of 

 arsenate of lead, and which has given 

 good results when one-quarter less of 

 It was used than the spray formula 

 required lor arsenate of lead. Arsen- 

 ates of lead and lime are "slow" 

 poisons, that Is. Insects may continue 

 fee-ding on plants and do much dam- 

 age, after receiving a fatal dose. To 

 overcome this defect, a small quantity 

 of paris green is used in addition to 

 the regular spray formula — about four 

 ounces to ,50 gallons. Since this 

 makes a "quick" poison, it makes the 

 spray much more efficient. But paris 

 green alone is dangerous to use on 

 plants, since it is likely to burn the 

 foliage. 



Bordeaux mixture, the standard 

 control for diseases on fruits and 

 vegetables, ha.s risen in cost owing to 

 the demand for copper sulphate In 

 other industries, and even during the 

 last season, some growers felt that 

 they could not afford to use this ex- 

 pensive material on vegetables. But 

 It should be remembered that while 

 spraying may be costly, generally the 

 price of the crop has risen in the 

 same or a greater proportion. Also 

 in lime with the food conservation 

 program, careful and thorough spray- 

 ing becomes a duty to the grower, for 

 the damage wrought by various in- 

 sects and diseases on growing crops 

 is one of the biggest sources of waste 

 In the country. Perhaps a word 

 should be said for proprietary or 

 patented spray materials at this time. 

 Due to the fact that the manufactur- 

 ers of some of these compounds had 

 large stocks on hand before spray ma- 

 terials rose in price, a given amount 

 of poison may be bought in some of 

 these mixtures chetiper than is pos- 

 sible by buying raw materials. 



ESTIMATES NATIONS INSECTI- 

 CIDE NEEDS. 

 To procure for farmers an ample 

 supply of insecticides at fair prices, 

 the Division of Chemicals, U. S. Food 

 Administration, urges users to report 

 indications of unreasonaye prices or 

 unwarranted attempts to force the 

 placing of orders on the plea of scarc- 

 ity of materials. 



By the President's recent proclama- 

 tion placing the arsenic insecticide in- 

 dustry under government control the 

 Food Administration now has general 

 supervision over the market handling
