Remedies for Insects and Fungus 
Information About Insects and Fungus 
TO KNOW WHAT INSECTICIDES TO USE 
it must be understood that there are two classes 
of insect pests, the chewing and the sucking in¬ 
sect. The chewing insects feed on the foliage so 
their food must be poisoned by spraying or dust¬ 
ing with some poison such as arsenic. Among the 
chewing insects are the codling moth, curculio, 
potato beetle, tomato worm, gypsy moth, and 
similar pests. 
T HE 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 suffocated, or by 
absorbing the poison. Besides 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.

dew loving ants. Prices: Antrol sets containing 4 con¬

FUNGOUS DISEASES are not caused by in¬ 
sects 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, mildew; 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.
