Hints To Gardeners By Harold Coulter Vegetable Expert Ferry Seed institute Fighting Vegetable Pests _______ 1 THERE are two major classifica tions of insect pests—chewing and sucking. Chewing insects, such as beetles, leave telltale holes in leaves. Control by dusting or spray ing plants with arsenicals (poisons with arsenate of lead as a base) Or pyrethrum. These remedies are known as stomach poisons, for they must be eaten by (he Insects. Plants commonly attacked include cucumber, squash, other vine crops, mustard, tomato and pepper. Presence of sucking insects, such as aphis or plant lice, is indicated by a general lack of vitality in the plant. Control by dusting or spray ing, directly on the insects, nicotine sulphate or pyrethrum. These in sects do not eat exterior plant tex ture and must be killed by a con tact poison. Among plants at tacked are peas, pepper, cabbage and related crops. All seedlings may well be treated early with light application of an •arsenical. j Special treatment should be | given two pests—cutworm and leaf | beetle. The former (a chewing in ; sect) is very fond of tender pepper, : tomato and cabbage plants, and is controlled by spreading about a spoonful of "poison bran bait” near each plant. This should be done at nightfall. Leaf beetle (also a chewing insect) is found on to mato, pepper, turnips and other plants. It can be repelled by • Bordeau mixture spray. Roasenrbar this important “don’t”: Don’t use arsenicals on the edible portion of vegetables within 14 days of the time they are to he used. Pyrethrum sprays, however, are equally effective and _ tony he safely used nt any time. BIRTH OF DAUGHTER Mr. and Mre.
