 Green Cabbage WoniL Pay the children a little something to

JULY AND AUGUST. 



Spray fruit trees about the middle of Jul\- and again

The yellowish eggs of the squash bug can readily be found 

 on the under side of the leaves of squashes, etc. Destroy 

 them. 



Should numerous destructive leaf-eating caterpillars appear 

 in force, spray foliage at once with Paris green solutions (i 

 lb. in 150 gals, and kept stirred while using), or arsenate of 

 lead — 3 lbs. to every 150 gals, of water. The latter can be 

 used safely on evergreens, upon which one should never use 

 Paris green. 



Pigs, if allowed to run in the orchard, will eat fallen fruits 

 which contain Codling Moth or Plum Curculio larvae.
