use of P-40 is much easier and safer. This is applied at the rate of 3 to 4 
pounds per 100 square feet, must be applied evenly over the entire soil surface, 
and should be scratched into the soil lightly. Keep it off of the plants. The 
plants gradually absorb this poison, and spiders are killed as they feed on the 
plants. The obsorption of selenium depends upon the rate of moisture-absorp- 
tion by the plant, so that absorption is more rapid during the summer than at 
other periods. From three to six weeks will be required for the plant to absorb 
enough selenium to kill spiders. This poison will continue effective for several 
months. Plants treated in July or August, may receive a second treatment in 
April. If plants have spiders when benched, or before the selenium becomes 
operative, it is best to fumigate with Liquid Fulex. P-40 may be applied to 
young plants in flats after they have become well established, and this practice 
should almost entirely eliminate the red spider problem. Never apply sodium 
selenate to plants that are checked or not growing properly.
