  In 
  this 
  popular 
  article 
  the 
  usual 
  formulae 
  against 
  Coccids 
  are 
  given. 
  

   Mention 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  " 
  pitteleina 
  " 
  is 
  a 
  mixture 
  of 
  tar 
  and 
  

   caustic 
  potash 
  and 
  that 
  " 
  rubina 
  " 
  is 
  made 
  up 
  of 
  equal 
  parts 
  of 
  tar 
  

   and

  The 
  following 
  methods 
  of 
  control 
  against 
  the 
  Eumolpid 
  beetle, 
  

   Colaspidema 
  atrum, 
  are 
  recommended 
  : 
  — 
  Sprinkling 
  the 
  leaves 
  with 
  

   lime 
  or 
  preparations 
  containing 
  naphthalin 
  ; 
  surrounding 
  the 
  infested 
  

   spot 
  by 
  a 
  deep 
  trench 
  and 
  sprinkling 
  the 
  leaves 
  with 
  a 
  mixture 
  of 
  

   1 
  part 
  naphthalin 
  and 
  3 
  parts 
  lime 
  ; 
  spraying 
  with 
  the 
  following 
  

   solution 
  : 
  — 
  Anhydrous 
  sodium 
  arsenate, 
  7 
  oz., 
  lime 
  (in 
  paste 
  form), 
  

   5J 
  oz., 
  water, 
  11 
  gallons. 
  To 
  prepare 
  the 
  solution 
  both 
  the 
  arsenate 
  

   and 
  the 
  lime 
  are 
  dissolved 
  separately 
  in 
  about 
  2 
  gallons 
  of 
  water 
  

   each 
  and 
  the 
  lime 
  solution 
  is 
  then 
  added 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  arsenic 
  with 
  

   vigorous 
  stirring, 
  the 
  remainder 
  of 
  the 
  water 
  being 
  added 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  

   time. 
  Cattle 
  will 
  not 
  be 
  poisoned 
  if 
  the 
  clover 
  is 
  used 
  after 
  a 
  month 
  

   has 
  elapsed 
  or 
  if 
  rain 
  has 
  washed 
  the 
  poison 
  away. 
  Another 
  useful 
  

   insecticide 
  is 
  Swift's 
  lead 
  arsenate.

  Great 
  damage 
  was 
  caused 
  by 
  caterpillars 
  of 
  Euxoa 
  (Agrotis) 
  segetum 
  

   to 
  winter-sown 
  crops 
  in 
  the 
  district 
  of 
  Borovitch 
  of 
  the 
  government 
  of 
  

   Novgorod 
  in 
  1913, 
  and 
  the 
  following 
  remedies 
  against 
  this 
  pest 
  are 
  

   recommended 
  : 
  Rye 
  must 
  be 
  usually 
  sown 
  as 
  early 
  as 
  possible, 
  

   not 
  later 
  than 
  7th 
  August, 
  but 
  if 
  badly 
  attacked, 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  necess- 
  

   sary 
  to 
  replough 
  the 
  field 
  deeply 
  and 
  sow 
  again. 
  Before 
  sowing, 
  

   the 
  rye-seed 
  must 
  be 
  sprinkled 
  with 
  kerosene, 
  about 
  1 
  pint 
  to 
  every 
  

   6 
  bushels. 
  In 
  warm 
  autumns 
  it 
  is 
  better 
  to 
  sow 
  rye 
  late, 
  after 
  the 
  

   caterpillars 
  have 
  disappeared, 
  than 
  to 
  have 
  the 
  crops 
  destroyed 
  by 
  the 
  

   pests. 
  The 
  author 
  had 
  once 
  to 
  replough 
  a 
  field 
  damaged 
  by 
  the 
  

   caterpillars 
  and 
  to 
  re-sow 
  it 
  on 
  the 
  21st 
  September, 
  when, 
  owing 
  to 
  

   the 
  warm 
  weather, 
  the 
  crop 
  grew 
  strongly 
  enough 
  to 
  survive 
  the 
  

   winter 
  and 
  gave 
  a 
  good 
  harvest, 
  the 
  only 
  difference 
  being 
  that 
  the 
  

   straw 
  was 
  shorter 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  rye 
  sown 
  earlier. 
  Fields 
  intended 
  for 
  

   winter 
  sowing 
  must 
  be 
  manured 
  in 
  May, 
  and 
  deeply 
  ploughed.
