Sucking Insects 
The most prevalent sucking insects 
are the aphis (plant lice), leaf hop- 
pers, various scale insects, mealy bugs, 
thrips and the lace bugs. All have suck- 
ing mouth parts and damage the plants 
by sucking the plant juices. 
4 These insects do not chew the leaf, so 
| poisons on the leaf are not effective. 
They must be combatted by a contact 
spray, which closes their breathing pores. 
4 Red Arrow Spray seems to be most ef- 
fective for this class of insects. 
$4.95, post- 
paid. 
Chewing Insects 
The chewing insects have biting mouth 
parts and injure the plants by eating 
portions of the leaf or stem. Poisons, 
such as arsenate of lead are effective, as 
are also the newer non-poisonous (to 
humans) substances, such as Rotenone. 
In spraying care must be taken to cover 
every portion of the plant, both upper 
and lower leaf surfares, so that no matter 
what part of the plant is attacked, some 
poison will be consumed.

CONTINUOUS SPRAYER 

Blights and Mildews 
Blights and mildews are really plant 
diseases and while not caused directly 
by insects, plants that have been weak- 
ened by insect attacks are very subject to 
them. As with human diseases, an ounce 
of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 
Clean culture, plenty of space between 
plants, to provide free circulation of air, 
and prompt spraying with Bordeaux Mix- 
ture or some other good fungicide at the 
first sign of attack are the best controls. 


Early application means keeping ahead of plant pests and diseases
