Oil of cade was considered one of the best repellents for the 
screwworm. There was no emergence of flies from meat treated with it.«— 
Parman and coworkers (302) • 
Oil of cade was used in a mothproofing agent (Brit, patent 
399,938), — Roark and Busbey (346 , p. 12), 
JUNIPERUS SABINA L. Synonyms Sab in a officinalis Garcke. Savin. 
A decoction of the tops of the plants served as an insecticide.— 
Greshoff (170 , p. 161). 
Extracts were not repellent to the Japanese beetle.— Metzger and 
Grant (277). 
Reference was made to the use of aqueous extracts from the young 
shoots of savin for mothproofing (Ger. patent 488,307) .—Roark ( 335 , 
p. 76). 
JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA L. Red cedar. 
There are many papers on the uses of cedar chests and oil of 
cedar wood, but all of them should not correctly be discussed under this 
species, although since cedar chests are usually constructed of red cedar 
and as oil of cedar is largely obtained from J_. virgin! ana the follow- 
ing abstracts will nevertheless be arranged under this species. 
In England it was reported in 1758 that no moth or other mischie- 
vous insect ever came into chests made of cedar.— Hale ( 176 , p. 401) • 
Red cedar chips and shavings, while not entirely effective in 
keeping the adult moths from laying eggs on the flannel treated, ap- 
peared to protect it from appreciable injury when used liberally. The 
chips and shavings showed praotically no killing effect against moth 
eggs or against larvae that were one-fourth grown.— Scott and coworkers 
( 561 , p. 28). 
Cedar chests exert no noticeable effect upon the adult clothes 
moths, but they kill the young larvae. The volatile oil contained in 
the wood is probably the insecticidal principle.— Baok and Rabak (47). 
Closets lined with red cedar were of doubtful value in protecting 
clothing from moth attack. The mere odor of cedar did not keep moths 
from entering a closet. Well-made chests of red cedar heartwood could 
be depended on for protection against clothes moths for they would 
kill all the newly hatched or young larvae.— Back (44).
