 In some seasons U may seem unnecessary, but the effecta will 

 Inevitably become apparent the next season. It must be done 

 thoroughly to be effective, but should not be done without pre- 

 cise knowledge as to the nature of the attacking Insects and 

 how they destroy. These may be divided Into two classes, leaf 

 eating and sucking. Both require separate treatment. The leaf 

 eating caterpillars, potato-bugs, etc., require a stomach poison, 

 which is sprayed on to the plant and intended to be eaten. The 

 sucking insects, plant lice, aphides, etc., require a contact poi- 

 son such as the Tobacco Extracts, Kerosene Emulsion, etc., 

 strong irritants which cover the entire body and close the 

 breathing pores. 



The fungicides listed are to be used for plant diseases. The 

 cheapest and most effective way to combat these is to apply a 

 preventative spray early in the season. Fruit trees, potatoes. 

 tomatoes, beans, etc., thus treated will thrive, where others fall.
