of soda, will afford relief. When this can not be used, 
a simple ointment, such as zinc oxide ointment, is recom¬ 
mended. A solution containing 1 ounce of fluid extract 
of grindelia to 1 pint of water applied on cloths and al¬ 
lowed to evaporate may afford relief. Black wash, 
prepared by adding 1 dram of calomel to 1 pint of lime- 
water, may be applied two or three times a day, allowed 
to dry, and followed by zinc-oxide ointment. This treat¬ 
ment must be used with caution in extensive cases be¬ 
cause of the possibility of mercury poisoning. The 
acute inflammation of ivy poisoning is sometimes fol¬ 
lowed by eczema and secondary infections of the skin, 
which in mild cases will yield readily to treatment with 
bland antiseptic ointments. A formula highly recom¬ 
mended for ivy poisoning and often especially helpful at 
this stage is the following: 
POISON. 
(For external use only.) 
Carbolic acid .2 grams. 
Resorcin .2 grams. 
Bismuth subgallate .4 grams. 
Equal parts water and limewater to make 250 c. c. 
This solution may be dabbed on the affected parts 
several times a day. 
Review, Hote ^Comment. 
The Whiting Nursery Company, Yanktown, S. D., 
are aiming to close out their retail business and devote 
their nurseries entirely to seedlings and shade trees to be 
disposed of at wholesale. 
Dean Beverly T. Galloway, of the State College of Agri¬ 
culture, Cornell, N. Y., in an address before the Western 
New York Horticultural Society urged the fruit interests 
of the State to prepare for the entirely new conditions 
that will exist after the war. He points out that ne¬ 
cessities of life will be the one great consideration and 
the demand for luxuries is likely to suffer in consequence. 
He urges the fruit interests of his State to get together, 
taking example of the Citrus industry, co-ordinating the 
financing, growing, grading, packing and marketing of 
their products to a common motive and purpose. 
The United States Department of Agriculture recom¬ 
mends the injection of bisulphide of carbon into the bur¬ 
rows of the Leopard Moth and the destruction of affected 
branches. 
The larvae of the Moth eats its way into the branches 
and twigs and their presence may be detected by the 
wilted condition of the branch affected and by the saw¬ 
dust-like eastings at the entrance of the burrows. 
Large trees badly infected should be destroyed. 
Carbon bi-sulphide is very inflammable, avoid smoking 
or inhaling the fumes. Squirt it into the holes with a 
long spouted oil can. immediately closing the holes with 
grafting wax.
