Dissolve the soap in the water, add the kerosene, and churn 

 with a pump for 5 to 10 minutes. Dilute 4 to 10 times before 

 applying. Use strong emulsion for all scale insects. For such 

 insects as plant lice, mealy bugs, red spider, and thrips the weaker 

 preparations will prove effective. Cabbage worms, currant worms, 

 and all insects which have soft bodies can also be successfully 

 treated by the use of contact insecticides. It is advisable to make 

 the emulsion shortly before it is used. The emulsion is especially 

 effective in summer to kill the young and tender lice.
