RESIDUES FROM POISONOUS INSECTICIDES 
ON PLANTS 
U. S. D. A. Miscellaneous Publication No. 526 entitled “Insec- 
ticides and Equipment for Controlling Insects” adequately 
treats the poisonous residue problem as follows: 
Residues of insecticides on the harvested product may en- 
danger the consumer’s well-being and must be guarded against. 
The recommendations that follow are given as a guide in avoid- 
ing such risks. 
Insecticidal residues cannot be removed satisfactorily from 
cabbage, lettuce, celery, spinach, cauliflower, turnip greens, 
kale, broccoli, or other greens by a superficial washing of the 
head or leaves. Such a washing may remove the residues from 
the outside smooth surfaces of the leaves or fruit, but the 
innermost parts among the folds or ribs will not be affected 
materially. 
Cabbage. Such materials as paris green, cryolite, and cal- 
cium arsenate should not be applied to any portion of the cab- 
bage plant that is to be marketed. This means that cabbage 
intended for marketing as U. S. Grade No. 1 (which allows 
four loose outer leaves) should not be sprayed with these ma- 
terials after the head has begun to form. If the marketed 
product is to bear a greater number of loose outer leaves than 
those allowed in U. S. Grade No. 1, these materials should not 
be used after the plants have been thinned or transplanted. 
If all the outer leaves of headed cabbage have been removed, 
the remainder should be free of harmful residues. 
Celery. Arsenicals and fluorine compounds are not recom- 
mended for use on celery because of harmful residue. 
Tomatoes. Residues may occur on tomatoes treated with 
calcium arsenate or cryolite, but the washing process in the 
canneries and wiping the fruit fer market with a cloth will 
practically eliminate these residues. 
Beans. For green and snap beans, sprays or dusts contain- 
ing cryolite or arsenicals should not be applied after the pods 
have begun to form. If treatment is made after this period 
of growth, two or three washings of the harvested beans in 
water should remove any harmful residues. 
Peppers. All peppers that have been treated with an arseni- 
cal (calcium arsenate) or fluorine compound (cryolite) must 
be washed before they are marketed or processed.

For a discussion of insects and diseases as well as specific con- 
trol recommendations, we refer you te “Home Garden Insect and

Seed Inoculants 
All Prices Quoted Are Postpaid. 
When planting a legume feed or cover 
crop, such as clovers, cowpeas, beggar- 
weed, crotalaria, soy beans and velvet 
beans, first inoculate the seed with Nitra- 
gin. This helps the crop to add the 
maximum amount of valuable Nitrogen plant food material 
from the air to your soil. A good leguminous cover crop can 
take 50 to 150 pounds of nitrogen per acre from the air—if 
inoculated with Nitragin. For your soil’s sake, inoculate all 
legume seed with Nitragin.
