should like to know how much hydro- 

 cyanic acid gas could be safely used to 

 kill aphis on these, without any danger 

 of burning the foliage. The house is 

 100 feet long, six feet high to the eaves 

 and fourteen feet to the ridge. I am 

 growing lettuce at a loss at prevailing 

 prices. Would it be advisable to dis- 

 continue growing it and grow radishes, 

 ■considering that I can average 50 cents 

 per dozen bunches? E. C. S. 



The sample leaf was so badly dried 

 up when received that it was hard to 

 tell what was the matter with it. Pars- 

 ley and lettuce growers have been mak- 

 ing little if any money this season, so 

 far, on account of the extremely low 

 price of lettuce. But from now on 

 through the winter the prices will un- 

 doubtedly be good. I think that Grand 

 Rapids lettuce would pay better than 

 radishes at 50 cents, as that is hardly 

 «nough for them. I would advise water- 

 ing the parsley as you do the lettuce, 

 between the plants and without wetting 

 the foliage. Pick off the affected leaves 

 and keep the soil moist, but not muddy. 



In using gas in that house, it would 

 be safe to use about four jars, placing 

 a half pint of acid and a half pint of 

 water in each jar about an hour before 

 you are ready to fumigate. Then take 

 a heaping tablespoonful of cyanide, 

 carefully wrapped in paper, for each 

 jar. Drop the packages, paper and all, 

 in the jars, starting at the farther end 

 of the house, and get out of the house 

 quickly. Leave it shut up until toward 

 morning, when it will be safe to go 

 in and raise the ventilators, although 

 the odor of gas can still be plainly 

 noticed. [ H. G.
