Here's Easiest Way
To Fix Plant Lice
Aphids, commonly known as plant
lice, attack a wide variety- of plants
all over Canada. Spraying the plants
with 40 per cent Nicotine Sulphate
and water, to which has been added
a small amount of laundry, soap, is
the best and easiest way of controll-
ing them. The nicotine should be us-
ed at the rate of almost half a pint
to forty gallons of water, with two
pounds of soap added. In small
amounts, the rate is two teaspoon-
fuls to a gallon of soapy water. Ap-
ply the material on a calm day, and
drench both the upper and lower
surfaces of the leaves so as actually
to hit all the insects.
In protecting field crops at least
100 gallons of spray should be used
per acre at each application. Two oe
three applications at weekly intervals
should give complete cantirol, By pur-
hasing the nicatine in bulk lots, that
s in large containers, rather than in
number of small bottles, the cost
w111 be reduced.
