BACTERIA IN RELATION TO PLANT DISEASES. 



Tobacco with Whale Oil Soap. 



Boil 3 pounds of dry tobacco stems or leaves 

 in 10 gallons of water and add while hot 0.5

Soap. 

 Use i pound to 8 gallons of water. 



Kerosene Emulsion.

 water, add 4 gallons of kerosene and churn for 

 15 minutes with a force pump. The thick 

 creamy emulsion, which does not separate 



readily, is diluted for use with 9 parts of water 

 and sprayed at once. Use rain water. If a 

 good emulsion has not been obtained, do over. 

 An imperfect emulsion must never be sprayed. 



Soluble Oil. 



This substance, sold under various names as 

 Kill-o-Scale, Target Brand Scale Destroyer, 

 is sprayed on the dormant plants after proper 

 dilution (i : 20). 



Formalin Vapor. 



For freeing closed spaces from bacteria 

 Schering's formalin lamp may be used.
