SIMPLIFIED INSECT AND DISEASE CONTROL 
In the garden the difference between success and failure frequently depends upon 
how effectively the many insects and diseases are controlled. There are a number 
of new and more effective spray materials available which equip the gardener 
better in this battle than he has ever been before. But equally as important as 
efficient spray materials is an effective and properly executed spray program. 
Spraying should be started early to catch the first insects before they have an 
opportunity to become established in great numbers. One thorough spraying which 
catches the first brood in an especially susceptible stage may be many times more 
effective than several applications later. As an example, the leaf hopper can be 
controlled most readily in the nymph stage. 
HOW TO SELECT INSECTICIDES AND 
FUNGICIDES 
In selecting an insecticide it is necessary to con¬ 
sider the cost of the finished spray of effective 
strength. Some material may cost very little per 
pound or gallon compared with another, but be¬ 
cause it is weak or dilute it will make so much less 
effective spray that the cost is much greater than 
that of the more expensive but more concen¬ 
trated spray material.
