PREPARATION OF INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 
INSECTICIDES 
(To destroy insects that feed on plant tissue) 
Arsenate of Lead. Use 3 Ibs. to 50 gal. of water. 
(To destroy insects that suck the sap of plants) 
Kerosene Emulsion. Dissolve 2 lb. hard soap in 1 gal. 
of water (preferably soft water) and while still boii- 
ing hot, remove from the fire and add 2 gal. of kero- 
sene. Stir the mixture violently by driving it through 
a force pump back into the vessel, until it becomes a 
creamy mass that will not separate. This requires 
from 5 to 10 min. It is ready to be diluted with 
water and applied. For hard-bodied insects, like the 
chinch bug, use 1 part emulsion to 8 or 10 parts water. 
For plant lice, etc. 1 part emulsion to 15 parts water. 
Whale Oil Soap. On foliage use at the rate of 1 Ib. to 
4 gal. of water; in winter 2 Ibs. to 1 gal. of water 
Lime and Sulfur Wash (for San Jose scale and other 
scale insects). Winter treatment: slack 50 Ibs. stone 
lime in a little hot water, gradually add 50 Ibs. of 
ground sulfur and stir vigorously; boil 1 hr., strain, 
dilute with water to make 150 gal. of wash and apply. 
It corrodes brass and copper and if a pump with brass 
fittings is used care should be taken to run clear 
water through it after each day’s spraying. Never 
boil the wash in a copper kettle. 
FUNGICIDES 
(To destroy spores of plant diseases) 
Bordeaux Mixture. Slack 4 Ibs. of stone lime in a smail 
quantity of water and when completely slackened add 
more water and mix thoroughly. Dissolve 5 Ibs. of 
copper sulfate by placing it in a coarse bag suspend- 
ed in water. Dilute each with water and pour them 
into the spray tank simultaneously, taking care to 
strain the lime solution before doing so. Add water 
to make 50 gal. stir vigorously and use to spray. 
Ammoniacal Carbonate of Copper. Dissolve 6 oz. of cop- 
per carbonate in 3 parts of ammonia and add water 
to make 50 gal. As the ammonia is of variable 
strength, only enough should be used to dissolve all 
the copper carbonate.
