GREEN APHIS ON CUCUMBERS. 



Will 'you please let me have a de- 

 pendable remedy for the small green 

 lice that attack cucumber vines under 

 the leaves, and which make short work 

 of them? E. G. S. 



It will be necessary to turn the vines 

 over if they are growing outdoors, and 

 spray them with tobacco water. Either 

 soak some tobacco stems or use one of 

 the specially prepared extracts. Other 

 remedies are Aphine, whale oil soap, 

 kerosene emulsion. Ivory soap, etc. Do 

 the spraying in the evening rather than 

 when the sun is high. The nicotine 

 sprays are less liable to burn cucumber 

 foliage than the others named. Some- 

 times I have found that by turning the 

 vines over and giving them a good dust- 

 ing of tobacco dust, applied through a 

 powder bellows, almost all tlie aphis will 

 be killed. C. W. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET CABBAGE. 



I have been growing Copenhagen 

 Market Cabbage since its introduction 

 and have had trouble with rotting. It 

 has been worse this season than ever 

 before. It seems to begin to rot on 

 one side about the time it begins 

 to head. I have All Head Early and 

 some other varieties in the same patch, 

 but they never are aflfected in this way. 

 Can you tell me the cause! Do others 

 have the same trouble? My location is 

 Oklahoma. W. R. M. 



I have not had any trouble with 

 Copenhagen Market such as you de- 

 scribe. Possibly your hot sun scorches 

 the inner leaves and starts the rot re- 

 ferred to. This is a Danish introduc- 

 tion and, in my estimation, the best 

 early cabbage we have, Danish Ball 

 Head being the finest winter sort. It 

 would be interesting to know if other 

 growers of this cabbage have had simi- 

 lar trouble. C. W. 



Lititz, Pa.— C. S. Loeffler is erecting 

 a house, 74x150 feet, southwest of town. 

 A boiler house will be added later.
