2 specimen is infested with gooseberry red- 
spider, a pest that flourishes in dry weather. 
It may be stated at once that well-fed bushes 
that have not lacked moisture do not suffer 
to the same extent as bushes on poor, dry 
soil. Here, again, bushes in gardens may be 
kept clean, if frequently washed with clear 
water during dry periods, and given manurial 
assistance that will permit free growth. 
Where there is an infestation the bushes 
must be sprayed at intervals with a kerosine 
emulsion until the pest has been cleared out. 
Dissolve ^Ib. of soft soap in a gallon of 
boiling water, and while still boiling add two 
gallons of kerosine and churn together 
forcibly, so that a proper emulsion is ob¬ 
tained. Use one part of this mixture to 
from 30 to 50 parts of wa^
