INSECTS AND REMEDIES 
Many insecticides may be prepared economically on a large ranch, 
which are for every small garden and orchard much better pur- 
chased already prepared. Such are Bordeaux Mixture and others 
of which we carry a number offered on pages 119 and 120. For 
large orchards we have Black Leaf 40 for thrips and Corona Dry 
Arsenate of Lead for Codlin moth, cutworms, etc. 
Insects are classified for treatment into two classes — first, those 
which eat the leaf, and second, those which suck the juices from 
the leaf or stem. The treatment for the two is quite different. 
Mildew is quite different still, being a plant growth. 
AGAINST APHIS or PLANT LICE — either green or purple 
or woolly, and all other sucking insects. These attack 
roses, fruit trees, and many plants; woolly aphis 
especially apples. Any of these following sprays are 
good: Byrne Plant Tonic and Insecticide (1 oz. to 4 
gallons); Readeana (1 oz. to 1 gallon); Aphine (2 to 4 
tablespoonfuls to 1 quart); Kerosene Emulsion (1 part 
to 20 of water) ; any tobacco or nicotine solution, such 
as Black Leaf 40 (1 oz. to 8 gallons); Nico-Fume Liquid 
(2 teaspoonfuls to 1 gallon); Nikoteen (2 teaspoonfuls 
to 1 gallon); Rose Leaf Extract (diluted 1 to 40); or 
Sulpho-Tobacco Soap. 
AGAINST SCALES OF ALL KINDS: Spray with lime 
sulphur solution, especially when trees are dormant, and 
extra strength can be used. Kerosene emulsion is also 
effective. Other remedies are used in orchard practice. 
AGAINST CATERPILLARS, CUTWORMS, ARMY WORMS, 
ROSE BEETLES, diabrotica or flea beetle (often mis- 
taken for green lady bugs), and all insects which eat 
the leaf use either dry or as a spray. Paris Green, 
(1 lb. to 200 gallons of water); Corona Dry Arsenate of 
Lead (2 to 4 lbs to 100 gallons of water); Hellebore 
(4 oz. to 2 gallons) where arsenic is too dangerous, 
such as on berries. When used drv mix Paris Green 
with lime, 1 lb. to 3 lbs. of lime. 
AGAINST SLUGS. Use Byrne Ant Destroyer and Slug 
Exterminator. Other remedies are Slug Shot and Paris 
Green, either sprayed plentifully or mixed in a poison 
mash made of y 2 lb. Paris Green, 1 quart molasses and 
25 lbs. bran. 
AGAINST MILDEW OR RUST. Spray witli Bordeaux 
Mixture, or Atomic Sulphur, or in warm places dust 
with Sulphur. Remember these are not remedies, they 
only prevent the disease from spreading. Therefore 
apply early, before the disease starts. 
AGAINST WEEDS IN WALKS AND ROADS. Sprinkle 
with Herbicide or Weed Killer. 
SOME OF THE MOST COMMON TROUBLES 
Almond — Red Spider — Spray with lime-sulphur solution, or 
atomic sulphur. 
Apple — Codlin Moth — The cause of wormy apples, spray 
with Corona Dry when calyxes of blossom are open, and 
repeat.

apply double strength to roots, also dig in 
Tobacco Dust.

Corona Dry before the heads form.

deaux Mixture used as a repellant.

Hollyhock — Rust — Spray early with Bordeaux Mixture. 
Orange — Scales — Fumigation with Cyanide is best. 
Peach — Borers in Tree Trunk — Dig the grubs out and 
mound trees. 
Curled Leaf — Spray with Lime Sulphur before the 
buds swell in spring; follow, if necessary, with 
Bordeaux afterwards. 
Rose — Aphis or Plant Lice — Remedies given above.

Grape Dust; water only in the morning.
