The market gardeners in New South Tfales dust their cabbages 
with one part of tobacco dust and four parts of fresh-slaked lime, 
thoroughly mixed. The dusting is done while the leaves are wet 
with dew and the powder is death to all insects that feed upon the 
surface of the leaves •

fective in controlling an army worm ( Cirphis unipuncta Haw.) and 
also the cabbage moth Plutella maculipennis Curt. ( Cruciferarum 
Zell.) and the pumpkin beetle ( Aulacophora sp.).

off the plants by mechanical means and follow this treatment with a 
nicotine or lead arsenate spray or dust.
