The Rorists^ Review 



January 19. 1922 



knpwii to be licavily infostod lias to be 

 used, it is worth while drawing attention 

 to another set of experiments, in which 

 Messrs. Byars and Gilbert hoped, by 

 using fresh soil side by side with soil 

 known to bo infostod, to show how much 

 of the beneficial effects of partial steril- 

 ization was due to the destruction of the 

 soil pests and how much to the action of 

 heat in liberating plant food from the 

 soil. The experiment failed, owing to 

 the fact that the fresh soil was found 

 also to bo iiifosted with soil pests. 



BLACK FLY ON LETTUCE. 



IIow can I get rid of the black fly? I 

 grow lettuce and have fumigated, witli 

 no results. The fly lives in a sort of ant 

 hill under the lettuce. E, B. — Mich. 



Once the black fly gets well estab- 

 lished on the lettuce, it is not easy to 

 dislodge it. It would be advisable to 

 fumigate every other night for a week 

 and once a week thereafter. One of the 

 nicotine papers is good or tobacco dust 

 may be placed in small heaps on the 

 walk at intervals, a little kerosene 

 poured on it and a match then applied.

REMEDY FOR ROOT LICE. 



I have been troubled by plant lice on 

 my liotbed plants and on late cabbage 

 planted in beds outside. Will you name 

 a remedy for the lice? J. D. B.— 111. 



Give your hotbeds a good covering of 

 tobacco dust and lightly fork or rake 

 it into the soil whore you have been 

 troubled with root lice. Do the same to 

 the beds where you transplant your cab- 

 bages. Should the lice still cause you 

 trouble, give the soil a watering with to- 

 bacco water. A solution of any of the 

 good nicotine extracts or tobacco stems 

 soaked in water, to use the licjuid, will 

 aid you. C. W.
