For leaf-spot set out only healthy plants with no 

 sign of disease. First season spray with D before 

 blossoms open and keep plants covered with mix- 

 ture throughout the season. Second year spray 

 before blossoming with D and again soon after 

 picking; or mow and burn over after picking. 

 Don't take more than two crops off. Plow down 

 at once after second crop. For white grubs dig 

 out as soon as injury is noticed. Do not plant 

 on land broken up from old meadow or pasture 

 for at least three years after breaking. 



For flea-beetle or turnip sow after June 21st, or 

 dust plants as soon as they appear above ground 

 with Paris green, or spray with Bordeaux and a 

 poison and a sticker. Repeat in two or three 

 days. For caterpillars dust with Paris green until 

 heads begin to form on cabbage and cauliflower, 

 then spray with pyrethrum, 1 ounce to 2 gallons 

 water. For root maggots use medium thick 

 tarred felt-paper discs, putting on as soon as 

 plants are set out, or set out plants after July 1st. 

 For aphids use kerosene emulsion as soon as they 

 appear. 



POTATO 



Tip burn, early blight, 

 late blight, scab, Col- 

 orado beetle, flea- 

 beetle. 



Keep foliage covered with D from time plants are 

 about 5 inches high. Take special precautions to 

 see this is well done if weather is at all damp after 

 about 15th July, as late blight begins about this 

 time. Add a poison to each application when 

 necessary. For scab, soak tubers before cutting 

 2 hours in formalin solution, 1 pint of formalin to 

 30 gallons of water. Spread out on grass to dry. 

 Wash all boxes, bags or other vessels to be used in 

 same liquid. Plant none but perfectly healthy 

 tubers.
