NOTES
Following are sons recommenda
tions given by the Matnnuska
Valley Experiment Station for
controlling garden posts;
1. liany people report that big
green worms roll up in the leaves
of their delphiniums. If it is
a web worm, which it probably
is, the only treatment is to
« »
break the webs and remove the
worm. If any other worms are
niticed thich chew the loaves,
a spray of Paris Green should
poison them.
2. Paris Green is made in the
following'way; mix l/4 pound
Paris Green and l/4 pound of lime
with a little water to make a
paste. Stir into 37-g- gallons
of water. This will be enough
for the neighbors. The lime is
to keep the solution from burning
the foliage, A rain will wash
it off and it will have to be
applied again. Put on with some
sort of apray gun.
3. Aphis, or plant lice, on your
flowers or bushes cSn be controll
ed by spraying with Black Leaf 40
according to directions on can.
Can be purchased at hardware store.
Also, nicotine suphate is effect
ive, One part nicotine sulphate
by weight, to 1,000 parts of water
will make a spray for combating
plant lice. The mix can be made
as strong as 1 part nicotine sul
phate to 300 parts water with no
harmful results.
4. A lime-sulphur duet for contro'lt
, ing rust on current hushes can
be made from 2 pounds liijie' and
50 pounds flour of sulphur. Mix.
Apply about 5 times during the
season. Make the first applica
tion a3 early as possible in the
spring. Rake up and burn all
old loaves and sticks near current
bushes. A duster can be made by

cloth. ''Fold up the dust into this
cloth and shake onto the bushes.
