AND OTHER INJURIOUS INSECTS OF I907 AND I908. I35 



Results : Untreated pants produced the 

 greater number of good radishes, apparently 

 on account of the injury to foliage by the 

 above treatment. 



EXPERIMENT NO. 3. 



Thirty sixteen-foot rows of French Break- 

 fast radishes planted June 25th, and the rows 

 as soon as planted, were treated with lime 

 solution alone (see above) ; with lime solu- 

 tion and oil of cloves (see above) ; with lime 



niada LeC, an en'e^ solution and crude carbolic acid (see above) ; 



niy of the Cabbage ^^-ith the lime solution and oil of tar (1 oz. 



Mnggot. enlarged. -, , n j • , , ,• , • 



Original. to 6 gals.) ; and with the lime solution and 



oil of lemon (1 oz. to 3 gals.). Two quarts 

 of the solution was used upon each row, and five rows were left untreated as 

 a check. The oils in each experiment were cut with alcohol before mixing, and 

 the emulsions were made by churning with a small force pump. 



Results: On July 2nd the radishes were up, and were given a second 

 treatment similar to the first application. On August 5th the radishes were 

 pulled and counted. ]Maggots had seriously injured the rows treated with 

 lime and oil of lemon; the rows treated with lime and oil of cloves were 

 entirely free from maggot attack, as were, practically, those treated with 

 lime and oil of tar and with lime and carbolic acid, the latter showing 

 only .01% injury, as per the accompanying table.
