If the hearts of cabbages have closed, the plants nay he dusted 
with a mixture of 1 part tobacco dust and 4 parts lime, or a mixture 
of 5 parts nicotine sulphate and 95 parts lime, or they may he sprayed 
with nicotine or quassia to kill the larvae of the above moth ( plutella 
maculipennis Curt . )

Two or more washes of nicotine and soft soap effected successful 
control of the diamond back moth (plutella maculipennis Curt.), but this 
treatment was too costly in most cases. Against capsid bugs ( Lygus 
pabulinus L. ) good results were obtained by spraying first the bushes 
and then the soil beneath them with 10 oz. nicotine and 3 lb. soft soap 
to 100 gal. water.

Arsenical sprays were unsa.tisfac.tory against Plutella maculipennis 
Curt, ( crucif erarum Zell.), the best results being obtained with nicotine 
soap.

During a favorable season 80 to 90 percent of the crop is rendered 
marketable by dusting with lime end tobacco. If the winter is late, how- 
ever, severe damage to the crop may occur, if nicotine sulphate spray 
proved ineffective. Dusting with equal parts of lime and tobacco appar- 
ently repelled the larvae from the centers of the plants. Very promising 
results were obtained by dusting and spraying (1 l/s lb. lead arsenate tc 
50 gal. water) alternately and this procedure is recommended for the con 1 
trol of the cabbage moth ( plutella maculipennis Curt.).
