Vegetable Forcing. 



SPIDER IN LETTUCE HOUSES. 



We would ask you what methods 

 are the most successful in combating 

 red spider in lettuce houses. Syringing 

 under pressure is our most efficient 

 method. Is there any better way? 



R. Y. 



There is no better way than you 

 mention. Kerosene emulsion, if well 

 made and mixed, is good, but it often 

 burns plants if not properly mixed.
