Plant Enemies and Insecticides 



TOMATO WORMS 



Pick worms, gather eggs and spray with Paris 

 green or Pyrox. Do not use poison after the 

 fruit is set. Fall-plough the tomato lot to rid 

 the soil of the chrysalids of the worm. 



CAUTION 



In nearly all cases of surface infestation of 

 plants, the insects can be destroyed with clear hot 

 water, hot soapsuds of either whale oil soap or 

 ivory soap or kerosene emulsion and this should 

 be the first resort, using poison solutions only 

 when the former fail to give relief. 



Bordeaux mixture is so generally indicated for 

 all diseases of foliage and kerosene for so large 

 a number of insects that it pays to prepare these 

 at home in the large quantities and have them 

 always on hand. The kerosene sometimes "goes 

 back" and needs to be forced with the pump into 

 a fresh emulsion.
