Weevils in Seed. 



Place seed on gathering in a tight box and fumigate for 

 twenty-four hours, using 'a tablespoonful of carbon disulfid to 

 every cubic foot of space in the box. Keep the box away from 

 fire during the treatment. Then store for winter. 



Beet. 



Flea Beetle. 

 Spray with arsenate of lead or Bordeaux (No. 136), as needed. 



Leaf Spot. 



Spray with Bordeaux (No. 136) when four or five leaves have 

 formed, and at intervals of about twelve days thereafter, if 

 necessary. 



Cabbage, Cauliflower. 

 Black Rot. 



Treat the seed with formalin 1 pound, water 20 gallons, for 

 fifteen minutes. Do not plant in ground already infected. 



Cabbage Worm. 



Spray with arsenate of lead 2 pounds in 50 gallons of water, 

 as needed, till the heads begin to form; then dust with helle- 

 bore instead. 



Clubfoot. 



Do not plant on infected land. On infected land apply 50 

 to 75 bushels of lime per acre. 



Cutworms. 

 If noticed while preparing the ground for planting, cut 

 clover and spray it with Paris green and scatter it over the 

 field. After the plants are up, make a mash of 60 pounds 

 bran or middlings, 1 pound Paris green, water to make a mash, 

 and enough molasses to sweeten well. Put a teaspoonful of 

 this at the base of each plant and keep fowls away. The 

 cutworms will prefer the sweet mash to the plants.
