and only 3.2 percent of the fruits in plots sprayed with the standard 
lead arsenate schedule. — Ky. Agr. Expt. Sta. ( 258 ) . 
Polychrosis botrana (Schiff.) 
In France in 19^7 chlordane was tested as an emulsion (150 g. chlor- 
dane, 500 cc. petrole, 10 g. emulsifier and 100 liters of water). Its 
efficacy according to Abbott's formula was 80 as compared to 85.9 for DDT.- 
Erezal (157). 
Polychrosis viteana (Clem.), the grape "berry moth 
In tests made in the Erie grape "belt of Pennsylvania a spray of chlor- 
dane (as a 50-percent wettable powder) at 0.75 pound of toxicant per 100 
gallons of water was not effective and severely "burned the foliage of the 
Concord grape. — Cox ( 8^ ) . 
Phalaenidae 
Phalaeninae 
In tests made at Charleston, South Carolina a 5-percent chlordane dust, 
applied at the rate of 20-25 pounds per acre-application, was fairly toxic 
to the cabbage looper and Agrotinae, "but relatively ineffective against 
the imported cabbageworm in two spring tests and one fall test. A 3-per- 
cent chlordane dust was not very toxic to either the looper or the imported 
cabbageworm in two spring experiments. A chlordane suspension spray and 
an emulsion spray gave good to excellent reductions of the looper and im- 
ported cabbageworm and were superior to a 3-percent chlordane dust when 
applied at comparable dosages of active ingredient. This dust mixture did 
not have good dusting qualities. Chlordane dusts usually proved inferior 
to DDT dusts of comparable strengths. No plant injury was noted from the 
use of chlordane on cabbage. — Re id and Cuthbert ( 387 ) » 
Agrotjs orthofronla Morr., the pale western cutworm 
Chlordane dissolved in benzene-kerosene mixture and applied in a spray 
tower was moderately toxic to the larvae. — Brown et. al. (50) . 
Agrotis ypsilon (Rott.), the black cutworm 
A bait containing 1.5 percent of chlordane, 5 percent of xylene, and 
11 percent of oil in bran killed 67 percent of the cutworms after *+8 hours 
in laboratory tests. — Brooks and Anderson (i±8) . 
A 5-percent chlordane dust, applied to fields in North Carolina at 
rates of from 20 to 100 pounds per acre, was of little value. Irish 
potatoes grown in chlordane-treated soil showed no of f -flavor . — Kulash
