Resistant vines better than the best insecticides as a means against Phylloxera 

 vastatrix', principal insecticides in use, especially arsenical substances, pe- 

 troleum and pyrethrum ; method of action and mode of application of 

 these insecticides, especially application by the cyclone nozzle, and the 

 subterranean application of kerosene emulsion as a means against Phyl- 

 loxera vastatrix ; tobacco vapor, under favorable conditions, would probably 

 kill this insect.
