Aphieide Can Now Be Mailed. 
To Control Insects on Vine Crops 
Striped Cucumber Beetles. These insects often appear as soon 
as the plants come up. They are not only very destructive at that 
time but their larva is the small grub or borer which works into 
the roots of the vines, more especially in pumpkins and squashes, 
but to some extent in melons. 
Dust to kill these Striped Beetles with Aphieide No. 10 or Aphi- 
cide No. 21.—See page 18. 
Attach the discharge of your duster to a funnel-shaped cone 
which you can set down quickly over the plants and blow one blast 
of Aphieide, then wait four or five seconds and a second hard blast 
should be sufficient to kill all the beetles on the plant or hiding 
under the plants. 
If the rows to be dusted have been drilled make a light trough 
3 or 4 feet long which can be drawn along over the row. Blow the 
Aphieide into the trough at the front end and it will be confined 
under the trough long enough to get the bugs. 
Aphis or Plant Lice. These very small insects often cause much 
damage. They increase very rapidly and while at first they remain 
on only a few plants and do not seem to spread, if not destroyed 
then they later may spread over the whole field within a few days. 
We go over our fields every few days looking for them. We 
also carry stakes on our cultivators and when we find a plant with 
aphis on it we mark it and see that it is dusted thoroughly at once 
with Aphieide No. 10. This dust is blown under the plants as the 
Aphids stay on the under side of the leaves and the Aphieide must 
come into contact with them to kill them. Dust not only the plants 
on which the Aphids are found but also all plants within ten to 
fifteen feet of the infested plants. Go back the next day and if you 
find any live Aphids dust them. If not remove the stakes. 
On our own farms we use Aphieide No. 10 and successfully con¬ 
trol Aphis attacking seed crops. (See page IS.) 
If the melons are right, they always sell quickly and command 
top prices.—Don’t allow Aphids to destroy the quality of your melons. 
Raise early melons by the use of Hotcaps. We sell them.
