PAGE 6 Hornworms ; Menace To ^ I War Has Limited Supply - Of Lead Arsenate And Paris Green Supplies; Cryolite Is Substitute Hornworms Again Prove Menace To Weed Growers | Hornworms have again hit the Tobacco belt in rather large num-J iers, and in many eases it has! tieen necessary to poison for con-j .trol of this pest. In the past J -tobacco growers have used a .mixture of paris grebn and lead -arsenate for controlling tobacco Insects. Since the war. however, -the lead arsenate and paris green supplies h&ve been somewhat limited, and there was a time last -year in some sections of North .Carolina where neither of these materials was not available. " The tobacco experiment stations Throughout the flue-cured area -have found . that. cryolite.- gives. "very satisfactory control of flea -beetles, hornworms, and budVorms when properly applied. [Cryolite is now generally stocked throughout North Carolina and is abailable to practically every [tobacco farmer. Cryolite is a [flourine compound and is not nearly as poisonous to humans 'as is either lead arsenate or paris green. There is no danger of burning [the foliage of the tobacco when using cryolite, and besides being 'recommended for tobacco insect control, it is widely used as a garden insecticide. Although it may be slightly more expensive per acre per application than "paris green-lead arsenate mix-) ture, tobacco farmers are urged ;to use cryolite because it is not .a critical war material. Sufficient supplies of cryolite [are available, so that no shortage is anticipated. Cryolite occurs [naturally as a rock in Greenland and is mined there. Some cryo lite is also obtained from the [manufacture of aluminum. Below are the recommendations [of the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service for using [cryolite for control of tobacco insects.
