CATERPILLARS eéai the leaves 
of garden plants, especially cab- 
bage, kale, collards, cauliflower, 
and broccoli; also tomatoes. If 
these “‘worms’’ are not checked, 
they may ruin the crop. Pick off the 
pests by hand and destroy them. A 
mixture of cryolite, dusted or 
sprayed on plants at weekly in- 
tervals as long as necessary will 
control these insects. Care should 
be taken to cover both surfaces of 
the leaves. Cryolite should not be 
used on cabbage, cauliflower, or 
heading broccoli after the head 
begins to form, nor should it be used 
on any leafy vegetable intended for 
immediate consumption. If cater- 
pillar control becomes necessary 
after heading or fruiting begins, 
dust crops such as cabbage with 
rotenone dust. Reach the innermost 
parts of the plants as well as both 
sides of the leaves. Rotenone is of 
little or no value for ‘‘worms’’ that 
feed on tomatoes. If treatment of 
tomatoes is necessay after plants 
have fruited, use cryolite, but be 
sure to wipe or wash the fruit 
carefully before it is eaten or 
marketed.
