TOMATO INSECTS 175 



Caustic soda (98 per cent) 10 pounds 



Flowers of sulfur 20 pounds 



Water 20 gallons 



Mix the sulfur in cold water to a thick paste, add the soda and 

 as it boils add water gradually to make 20 gallons. The water 

 should be added fast enough to prevent burning, but not fast 

 enough to stop boiling. The result will be a dark coffee- 

 colored liquid. Strain through a fine-meshed cloth or spray- 

 strainer. Keep in tightly-corked jugs. For use, mix one half 

 gallon of this stock solution in 40 gallons of water. 



Dusting the plants with finely ground sulfur has also been 

 found of benefit.
