fact, it was worthless. ‘The difference between Plats 1 and 3, as 
compared with Plat 2 and checks, was so marked that it could be 
seen-from a distance without going into the field.. The difference 
between Plats 1 and 3, and the portion of the field treated with 
dry Paris green and flour was not marked until after the second 
spraying. At the time the last examination was made a few 
loopers had found their way from the checks to the heads on 
Plats 1 and 3, but all the cabbage worms had disappeared. ) 
The following letter from Mr. I. P. Baylis gives the estimated 
condition of the crop at time of gathering and shows the value of 
spraying with the resin lime mixture fairly well:

than where ‘Green’ was used, but only about 30 per cent. I 
think this is owing to the nature of the Savoy, which will make 
quite some growth after cold weather sets in and the worms are 
destroyed. Yours very truly, |

In 1897 further tests of the resin lime mixture combined with 
Paris green were made on cauliflower and Brussels sprouts at 
Baiting Hollow, N. Y. 
The first test was made May 26." A field of cauliflower, the 
plants of which had only 3 or 4 leaves was sprayed with 
the resin lime mixture. At the same time seedbeds of later cauli-
