Root Maggot. 

 Fit a disk of tarred paper on the ground around the stem of 

 each plant when setting. Hellebore dusted on the ground 

 around the stem about once a week is often successful. 



Cherry. 

 Brown Rot, etc. 



See "Peach." 

 See "Apple." 



Curculio. 



Plant Lice. 



Spray with kerosene emulsion (No. 7), stock 1 part, water 

 9 parts, when the lice first appear. After the leaves curl it is 

 too late to treat successfully. 



Slug. 



Spray with a stomach poison (No. 2 or 3) when they first 

 appear. 



Corn. 

 Wireworms. 



To protect seed, dip in arsenate of lead paste diluted with 

 water to consistency of thick paint. Dry and plant. Late fall 

 plowing for several years, rotation of crops, and trapping with 

 freshly cut clover sprayed with a stomach poison and placed 

 under boards in the field, all help to control this serious pest. 



Currant, Gooseberry. 

 Currant Worm. 



Apply a stomach poison — preferably No. 3 — as soon as the 

 leaves develop. 



Currant Stem Borer. 

 Bores along the center of the stem. Cut off and burn in- 

 fested stems.
