Instruotions in 1943 to victory gardeners stated that rote- 
none was scarce, and restricted to use on peas for the pea weevil, 
and for a few other insects. A spray of sodium fluosilicate and 
sugar might supplement rotenone dust to control the pea weevil on 
Austrian peas.— U. S. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine 
(630 ; 623 , ?. 135). 
One of the most important uses for rotenone is to control the 
pea weevil .--Howard and coworkers (294, p. 30) • 
In 1944 rotenmo was still recommended against the pea weevil 
in victory gardens •--'White and Dooiittle (683) . 
There is no comparable substitute for rotenone for control of 
the pea weevil.— CT. S. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine 
(633). 
Callosobruchus naoulatas (F»), the oowpea weevil 
Rotenone was recommended against this pest on oowpeas in Florida 
in 1943.— Watson (667).

In New York in 1941 derris dusts gave promise of satisfactory 
oontrol, and in 1942 a derris spray was eff eotire.— Iftindinger (434 , 
436) . 
In New York State the following sprays are recommended* (l) lead 
arsenate 5 pounds, and \ pound of soybean meal or skimmilk powder to 
serve as a spreader and sticker; (2) powdered derrid or cube (4 to 5 
percent of rotenone) 6 pounds, with the preceding spreader and stick- 
er, per 100 gallons.— Slate and coworkers ( 544 , p. 54). 
Sometimes a single, well-timed application of rotenone will give 
good repression, bat usually two spray applications of lead arsenate 
or of derrio (6 pounds per 100 gallons) are necessary for -the best 
results*— Parrott (467) in 1942.
