A spray of 1 pt. paraffin emulsion, 10 gal. water, and 2 f 
nicotine is an effective means of controlling the onion thrips (Thrips 
tabaci Lind. ) when it is exposed on the foliage of cucumber. Infestat 
of roses by the rose thrips (T. fusc ipen nis Hal.) might probably be coi 
trolled by a spray cf 2 lb. potash soft soap, 10 gal. soft water and 2 
f 1 . oz . nicotine. A mixture of 6 oz . nicotine to 1 gal. sulphonated o 
proved, very effective in controlling aphids when used at a dilution of 
1 to 300.

A combination of lime-sulphur (1:40), l/2 percent penetrol 
and nicotine sulphate (1:3,000) gave 99 percent mortality against 
aphids ( Aphis spiraec ola Patch) on Citrus . A 2 percent dust of 50- 
percent free nicotine with lime as a carrier gave good commercial 
control of melon aphids (Aphis gossypii Glov.) on watermelons in the 
experimental field. ' '

In the experimental orchards, eomhinations of oil and pyrethrum 
or oil and nicotine gave good control of the red spider ( Tetranychus 
telariu s L.) . The last named spray is also effective against the 
codling moth.

One application of lime-sulphur combined with nicotine sulphate 
and emulsified oil caused scorching and defoliation of peaches, but 
did not injure Citrus or apple. A combination of nicotine sulphate 
and miscible white oil commonly recommended for the control of this 
thrips did not prove satisfactory in laboratory tests.
