tions that some manufacturers are us- 

 ing in tlicir 'kerosene emulsions' cer- 

 tain fractions of petroleum which are 

 quite different from kerosene and are

 burning. ' ' 



It is suggested that manufacturers 

 who are preparing kerosene emulsions 

 take careful note of the above-men- 

 tioned findings of the department and 

 change their method of manufacture, if 

 a change is needful, since kerosene 

 emulsions subject to the provisions of 

 the insecticide act of 1910, which cause 

 injury to the vegetation on which they 

 are recommended to be used when used 

 at the dilutions recommended, are adul- 

 terated under the last jiaragraph of Sec- 

 tion 7 of the Insecticide Act of 1910, 

 wliicli reads as follows: 



"That for the pur])()so of this act an 

 article shall be deemed to l)c adulterated 

 * * * in the case of insecticides or fun- 

 gicides other than Paris green and lead 

 arsenate: -^ * * fourth, if it is intended 

 for use on vegetation and shall contain 

 any substance or mixture of substances 

 which, although preventing, destroying, 

 repelling or mitigating insects, shall be 

 injurious to such vegetation when 

 used. ' '
