Information About Insects and Fungus 
FUNGUS DISEASES are not caused by insects but 
by spores which collect on the foliage causing such 
troubles as blight, scab, mildew, brown rot, etc. There 
are two kinds of fungicides, those made from sulphur, 
and those from copper. The fungicides from sulphur 
are best for control of apple scab, peach leaf curl, mil¬ 
dew; the copper fungicides, either as a spray or as a 
dust, for potato, celery, and tomato blight. After the 
disease has started it is difficult to stop it, so fungicides 
should be used early as a preventative measure, rather 
than a cure. 
TO KNOW WHAT INSECTICIDES TO USE it 
must be understood that there are two classes of insect 
pests, the chewing and the sucking insect. The chewing 
insects feed on the foliage so their food must be poisoned 
by spraying or dusting with some poison such as arsenic. 
Among the chewing insects are the codling moth, cur- 
culio, potato beetle, tomato worm, gypsy moth, and 
similar pests. 
THE SUCKING INSECTS do not eat the leaves but puncture 
the tissues of the leaf and then suck the plant juices. These pests are 
controlled by contact insecticides. Among the most common are the 
aphis, which are soft bodied insects and are killed by being suf' 
focated, or by absorbing the poison. Beside the aphis there are 
the various kinds of scale which are found on the trunk and 
branches. These are best controlled by Lime'Sulphur, and oil sprays 
when the trees are dormant.
