These beetles of ten infect the plants with certain diseases, therefore dust plants against disease with Bordeaux or other disease resistant remedies, such as fixed copper fungicide. Do not use products containing sul phur, because of its injurious ef fects on these vines. Borers in stems near the roots may be cut out with a sharp pointed knife and then cover the incised parts with soil. CABBAGE WORMS are active now. Easily controlled if you dust or spray after every rain. Rotenone is safest to use, but arsenate of lead and other chemical poisons including DDT are alright if not used on plant parts which are to be eaten. Beets, carrots, chard, lettuce, en dive, New Zealand spinach, on ions, parsley, peppers and turnips not usually attacked seriously. Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, or Cabbage — If attacked by aphids (plant lice) use nicotine sulphate (Black Leaf 40). For flea beetles use rotenone. In early stages use cryolite or arsenate of lead for worms or caterpillars or hand pick them. Sweet Corn—To guard against ear worm (green or brown with stripe along side and back) put ¥4 teaspoon of medicinal mineral oil at base of silk mass as soon as silks have started to wilt. Anoth er method is to clip off the silk after pollination. Tomatoes — Large green worm with “horn” on back end of his body will defoliate your plants in short order. Hand pick them. If greenish brown worms appear, use rotenone or other chewing insect control, or if not too numerous, pick them off by hand. For aphids, use Black Leaf 40. DOWN WITH SURROUNDING WEEDS.

It furthermore checks certain dis eases which insects carry into the garden, a=*
