THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



"Suggestions on the Preparation and 

 Use of Spray Formulas." 



By G. M. Benlley, State Entomologist and 

 Plant Pathologist. 



Bulletin No. 10, "Suggestions on the 

 Preparation and Use of Spray For- 

 mulas," has just been issued by the 

 State Board of Entomology. The cor- 

 respondence coming to the Board con- 

 tinually for information on the simplest 

 and best remedies for the control of 

 insect pests and plant diseases is daily 

 increasing and to facilitate replies this 

 bulletin has been arranged. 



It is a publication consisting of 24 

 pages with nine half-tone cuts. Special 

 attention is given to preventives. While 

 much may be accomplished in the con- 

 trol of insect pests and fungus diseases 

 by the use ot fung.cides and insecti- 

 cides, more attention should be given to 

 the prevention of the introduction of 

 crop pests by judicious legislation, to the 

 selection of resistant plants, to the elim- 

 ination of weeds and worthless plants 

 which harbor pests or act as inter- 

 mediary hosts and are often of the same 

 family as those under cultivation, to 

 judicious rotation of crops, and to bet- 

 ter drainage, cultivation and fertiliza- 

 tion. 



The formulas are arranged under five 

 heads ; those for biting insects; those 

 for piercing insects; combined insecti- 

 cides and fungicides; fumigating and 

 fungicides. Attention is given to spraj^- 

 ing to kill weeds. General suggestions 

 are also given in this bulletin regardmg 

 spray chemicals and necessary precau- 

 tions of their use. 



The citizen as well as the farmer and 

 fruit grower is realizing as never be- 

 fore the importance of protecting his 

 trees, plants, shrubs and crops from in- 

 sect pests and plant diseases. The bul- 

 letin referred to gives the formulas and 

 explicit directions for making the same 

 at home. 



From cover to cover the bulletin con- 

 tains valuable information and should 

 be in the hands of all the readers of this 

 paper.
