tlie university were put to other purposes, 

 we had to seek houses at some other city. 

 After considerable search and corre- 

 spondence, the university authorities de- 

 cided that work should be begun at 

 Bloomington, since it seemed that the 

 houses at that place were better adapted 

 to our needs and more convenient. 



Experiments at Bloomington. 



The house selected was already planted 



to two varieties of carnations, Queen 

 Louise and Genevieve Lord. Varieties of 

 these colors do not show thrips injury 

 unless the insects are numerous and the 

 amount of feeding is considerable. As 

 the house was planted late, there were 

 few blooms until December, and conse- 

 quently few thrips. 



In the different compartments into 

 which the house was divided we are test- 



ing the efficiency of some of the leading 

 insecticides now on the market. 



In two compartments we are using the 

 insecticides as a spray, in three others 

 for fumigation, in one both for fumiga- 

 tion and for spray, and in the other for 

 check. 



At the present writing there appears to 

 be little difference in the efficiency of the 

 different materials tried. In one in- 

 stance injury was done the plants by 

 using the substance according to the 

 manufacturer's directions accompanying 

 the goods. 



It developed that, after all, we know 

 little about the composition of insecti- 

 cides; and, not having any insecticide 

 law in this state, there might be cases 

 where the compound contained little or 

 none of the essential constituent. Pure 

 nicotine is worth not less than $3 an 

 ounce. The nicotine is the constituent 

 which kills the insects. The price of the 

 preparations was not uniform, neither
