Because of the interest expressed, we group below the best remedies. 
For Japanese Beetle Control 
Arsenate of Lead Treatment. See full directions in left column. 
Beetle Traps. Placed around your garden, these will catch many beetles 
which can be easily killed with kerosene or hot water. Each beetle caught 
reduces next year’s crop by hundreds. No. 1 (with jar) 70c.; No. 4 (with 
jar) $1.35. Bait, 1 oz. 20c.; 4 ozs. 50c. Stands, AOc. 
Spore Dust. Of the Milky Disease of the Japanese Beetle Grub. A bio- 
logical material containing the microscopic bacilli of the milky disease 
which kills the grubs of the Japanese beetle. By applying this spore dust 
to the infested turf, the grubs are infested with this disease and killed, as 
are subsequent broods of Japanese beetle grubs, because the milky 
disease bacteria remain alive and active. From each local area treated, 
this disease spreads and in time will provide complete coverage and re- 
main effective for a long period. One pound, mixed with sand or soil for 
bulk, will uniformly cover 4000 sq. ft. of lawn. Sprinkle promptly to 
prevent spore dust from blowing away. Lb. (price on application). 
Japellent. A non-poisonous arsenic-free insecticide and repellent that 
kills Japanese beetles on contact, and protects plants against injury. 
It is harmless to humans and animals, but deadly toxic to beetles and 
other leaf-eating insects. It eaves an invisible protective film. 3 ozs. 
(makes 4 gals.) 50c.; 12 ozs. (makes 15 gals.) $1.50. 
Weed Killers 
Ammate Weed Killer. For easy and permanent destruction of Poison 
Ivy and Sumac. Thorough spraying of the foliage not only destroys the 
top growth but also the root system, Ammate is harmless to humans 
and animals and is not inflammable. It produces temporary soil sterility, 
the duration of which may be shortened by the application of hydrated 
lime after the plants are killed. Ammate is not “‘selectrve” and may kill 
all kinds of plants which it contacts. To avoid fine mists drifting to other 
plants, use a coarse spray to localize the application. One pound dis- 
solved in one gallon of water usually covers an area of 100 sq. ft. As this 
solution Is corrosive to brass and certain other metals, be sure to rinse 
sprayer well and dry out. 2 Ibs. 75c.; 6 Ibs. $1.80. 
Herbicide Weed Killer. Kills weeds and vegetation of all kinds which it 
contacts. It is specially useful for keeping clay tennis courts, driveways, 
and gutters weed free. If thoroughly applied, it usually prevents growth 
for a year under normal conditions. Dilute with water, 1 quart making 
10 gals. of liquid sufficient for 250 sq. ft., 1 gallon making 40 gals. 
sufficient for 1000 sq. ft., and sprinkle. Qt. 60c.; gal. $1.75; 5 gals. $8. 
Zotox. Kills Crab-grass plants and seeds without destroying permanent 
lawn grasses. This selective action 1s possible because Crab-grass has 
broader leaves than most turf grasses and many times the area of leaf 
surface, which causes it to absorb an excess quantity of the Zotox poison. - 
Being a shallow-rooted annual also makes Crab-grass less resistant to 
Zotox than the deep-rooted perennial grasses. This treatment, when 
directions are carefully followed, may temporarily discolor the turf but 
after a few days it regains its natural color and vigor, while the Crab- 
grass is dead. (16 ozs. with 10 gals. water treats 2000 sq.ft.) The best 
time to apply ts after July 15. 8 ozs. $1; 16 ozs. $1.50; 32 ozs. $2.50,
