| Control of Aphids on Apples and 
Cabbage. 
T IIP: common lice or aphids that occur 
on fruit-trees, vegetables, and many 
other plants are among our most dif- 
| licult pests to control. They often in¬ 
crease so rapidly and occur in such 
enormous numbers that it is almost im¬ 
possible to kill them all. If we spray ever 
so thoroughly, the chances are that a few 
will be missed and these will furnish just 
enough to provide for a rapid and abund¬ 
ant replenishing of the stock if the condi¬ 
tions are favorable. However, there is 
one phase of the plant-louse problem that 
is encouraging and that is. that these 
lice are subject to the attacks of many 
parasitic and predaceous enemies that in 
i most seasons hold them in check. More¬ 
over. if by one or two thorough early 
sprayings the lice are largely checked 
their enemies often get the upper hand 
and maintain it the rest of the season. 
The season of 11)14 was notable as a 
year of remarkable development and ex¬ 
cessive abundance of plant lice on apple 
trees. In many orchards serious and ex¬ 
tensive losses were caused during the 
past season by these tiny pests. The 
rosy aphis was probably the worst culprit 
although the green apple aphis did its 
share of the work. In order to light 
these lice intelligently one should know 
something of their habits and life history. 
The apple aphids deposit their dark 
brown eggs, which are visible to the eye 
and look like tiny foot-balls, in the Fall 
on the stems and branches of the trees. 
Here they remain until the following 
Spring. As the buds begin to swell and 
break the eggs hatch and the young lice 
cluster on the opening buds. A new gen¬ 
eration of lice is produced about every 
two weeks, if the weather is favorable, 
and they increase very fast. They soon 
become numerous enough to attack and 
injure the leaves and the young apples. 
The rosy aphis will finally, about the 
first of July, leave the apple trees for 
other food plants but the green aphis 
will stay on the tree all Summer. The 
life history of the cabbage aphis which 
attacks cabbage, cauliflower, turnips an 1 
kale is very similar to that of the apple 
aphis. The eggs are laid on the leaves of 
the plants in the Fall where they remain 
and hatch early in the Spring. The lice 
multiply and live upon cabbage or turnips 
or some mustard plant all Summer and 
deposit eggs again in the autumn. 
A study of the habits and life history 
of these aphids has shown that those on 
the apple can best be controlled by spray¬ 
ing with “black-leaf-40,” a tobacco ex¬ 
tract, and soap, just as the buds are 
bursting or are showing their green tips 
or a little later, even up to the time the 
blossoms begin to show pink. The point 
is, to kill the first generation of lice as 
they hatch from the eggs thus preventing 
any further multiplication and increase. 
Moreover, this should be done before the 
leaves begin to curl because the lice can j 
not be hit after they are hidden inside 
of curled leaves. The “black-leaf-40” 
should be used at the rate of three-quar¬ 
ters of a pint or a pint to 100 gallons 
of water. To this should be added four or 
five pounds of wlialeoil soap or good laun¬ 
dry soap. The addition of the soap causes j 
the mixture to spread and stick to the 
lice and, therefore, increases its efficiency. 
It must be borne in mind that these lice 1 
have got to be actually hit in order to be 
killed. They cannot be poisoned because 
they are sucking insects. The spraying 
must therefore be done thoroughly and 
liberal quantities of the mixture should 
be applied. 
If scale is present on the trees and one 
desires to spray for it at the same time 
as for the aphis, then the “black-leaf- 
40” may be added to lime-sulphur at the 
rate of three-quarters of a pint or a pint 
to every 100 gallons. The soap should 
he omitted if the tobacco is added to the 
lime-sulphur as it does not work well in 
combination with the latter. If lime- 
sulphur and tobacco are combined for 
aphis and scale the application should 
be made as the green tips of the buds 
are showing and not much later. Some 
growers are applying it later, even up 
to the time the blossom buds separate, 
but in this case considerable burning of 
the first leaves is experienced. They do 
not. however, consider this very serious 
as it is the later leaves that really do 
the work of the tree. 
Cabbage lice can be controlled by spray¬ 
ing the plants with the tobacco and soap. 
It is somewhat difficult to spray cabbage 
plants satisfactorily. The lice must be 
hit and to do this the under as well as 
the upper sides of the leaves must be 
sprayed. Probably the most effectual ! 
way to spray cabbages is to use a barrel 
pump having two leads of hose with a ! 
man at the end of each lead to hold and 
direct the nozzle. The effectiveness of | 
the spray will depend very largely upon | 
the care and thoroughness with which the 
mixture is applied. If the cabbage louse 
is given an effectual check by one good 
spraying its natural enemies will increase 
and often succeed iu holding the pest in 
check for the rest of the season.
