This is a detailed account of experiments on fumigating with tobacco 

 smoke against Aphids. The apple and cherry trees of the orchard selected 

 for the experiment were infested with Aphis pomi, de G. {mali, F.), and 

 A. cerasi, F. After a fumigation lasting from 7 to 10 p.m., only the 

 very small forms remained alive, and after a second fumigation the 

 next evening, no living Aphids were left, nor could any be found ten 

 days later. The orchard had an area of about half an acre and 180 lb. 

 of tobacco dust and six bags of hay were required for the fumigation. 

 In another plum orchard fumigation was applied against Hyalopterus 

 arundinis, L. {pruni, F.), with complete success. Good results were 

 also obtained by powdering with tobacco dust in some nurseries. 

 This was done early in the morning, before the dew was dry. Further 

 investigations on the effect of tobacco smoke on Psyllids and Aphids 

 are urged.
