ture during the fall will answer. Possibly the use of the dry 

 Paris green and flour would answer fairly well provided it could 

 be applied at the right time. With the poisoned resin mixture 

 it is not necessary to wait and watch for the right time. This

 plant. The poisoned Bordeaux mixture can be used with the 

 resin mixture in place of using lime. 



Miscellaneous tests. — Duiini; .June. ISO."), we sprayed a number 

 of elm trees in nursery row with the poisoned resin-lime mix- 

 ture. Both sides of the leaves were thoroughly wetted with the 

 mixture. This test was made against the " Elm Leaf Beetle." 

 No other spraying was given throughout the season, but the foli 

 age remained nearly perfect while that on adjoining unsprayed 

 trees was ruined by August 1. 



On September 13, 1895, a small patch of rutabagas which were 

 being devoured by the imj)orted cabbage-worm Avas sprayed with 

 the poisoned resin-lime mixture. The patch was examined Sep- 

 tember 6 and no live worms could be fbund. No evidence of their 

 getting a foothold in this patch was seen again during the fall.
