Prof. Cook's Mode of Warfare on a Few
of them.
As the season is at hand when the
question of destroying the enemies oi
the prospective fruit crop is one of importance to the progressive farmer and
fruit grower, we thought an article "by
one so well qualified to handle the suh-
ject as Prof. Cook, of the Agricultural
college, would "be of value to many of
our readers, and therefore give the
following somewhat lengthy extract
from a hulletin furnished us:
From the frequent inquires that I
receive ^regarding the various substances most effective in the destruction of our insect pests, I am led to
conclude that there is a general ignorance of these matters, and quite as
general a desire for information. We
are also just at the opening of another
campaign in this insect warfare, and
every wise fighter will desire to - be
armed with the most approved weapons. Therefore I am led to conclude
that a bulletin devoted to this subject
in ill not only be appreciated, but will
give substantial aid iu the field during
the season of 1890.
THE ARSENATES.
As London purple is much cheaper
than Paris green, costing only fifteen
cent per lb., and is just as effective in
practical use, it should always be used
when it can be bad, unless on very tender foliage, like that of the peach,
when only Paris green should be made
use of. It is still a question if the arsenates should be used on the peacb.
London purple may be used either
dry, mixed with land plaster—one lb.
of the poison to eighty or one hundred
of the plaster—or mixed with water—
one lb. to two hundred gallons of water.
It is not the strength of the mixture,
but the force and thoroughness with
which it is applied, that secures success. The water mixture which will
usually°be most satisfactory, should be
kept well stirred, that the heavy mineral poison may not settle. Should
never be applied to fruit trees till the
blossoms fall from the trees. Should
be applied to apple trees but once, except in case of very he,avy rains, when
it should be repeated two or three
weeks after the first application; should
bo used two or three times at intervals
of ten days or two weeks ou the plums,
and after every heavy rain'; may be
used to defend against the potato 'beetle, and all leaf or bud eating insects
that defoliate our fruit trees early in
tha season, and on our shade trees for
such insects at any time. Force
pumps are excellent to apply the water
mixture to poiatoe vines and to fruit
and shade trees. ■ "Our experiments last
season prove conclusively that if arsenates are properly applied, there is no
danger in pasturing, under fruit trees
at once. That is ij we use one lb. of
the poison to two "hundred gallons of
water..
In the ap|>le orchard, the use of London purple is so valuable »that no one
can afford to neglect its practice.
Used just after the blossoms of tie latest blooming varieties like the Northern Spy, have fallen, this .substance destroys the Codling Moth. Tent Caterpillar, Canker Worm, and several minute leaf rollers; all of which are serious pests, and often do great damage.
Here then is a case where the orchard-
ist can kill several birds with a single
stone.
CARBOLIZED PLASTER.
This is simply common land plaster—
gypsum mixed with crude carbolic acid.
I get the acid of good strength and mix
it with plaster—one pint of the liquid
to 50 lbs. of the mineral. The lumps
should be crushed and" all thoroughly
mixed, when the plaster will be much
as before, except that it will smell very
strongly of the acid. It will still be a
powder and can be thrown even better
than clear plaster as it is a. little more
damp, and heavier, and-so less affected
by the wind. "Mr. J, N. Stearns, of
Kalamazoo, Michigan, has used this
very successfully for years in fighting
the plum curculio. He replaces the
plaster, however, by lime. I like the
plaster better as it is not so light, and
one can sow it better, especially if there
is any wind. I think too that the plaster is more valuable as a fertilizer. I
feel quite certain that I have used this
with excellent results to ward off the
ravages of the plum curculio, and think
I have used it with success against the
Codling Moth, though this latter
needs confirmation. To use this we
throw it onto the tree as soon as the
blossoms fall, and twice after at intervals of ten to fifteen days. In ease of a
few trees, it is easier to do this than to
Spray, as the material is very inexpensive and there is no apparatus to purchase. If it simply drives the insects
off, as some argue, what would oecur if
all of us used it? If it disguises the
tree so that the insects do not find it,
then surely it has everything to recommend it, in case it is as effective as
experiments so far seem to prove.
In seasons of very frequent and severe
rains, it would not prove entirely
satisfactorv.
Ikerosene emulsion.
Probably next to the Arsenites—London purple and Paris green—no single
insecticide equals in. value the kerosene and soap mixture, or to use a
term which I think originated with
the Department of Agriculture, Kerosene Emulsion. The great value of this
substance,rrests in the fact that it kills
by contact, and thus insects that suck,
like lice and true bugs, .gre killed by
its use. So far as I know we used this
substance first in .the practical form
now most used and generally recommended. I found that it would mix
permanently with soap solution in 1S77
and 1878, and that it would kill many
insects if it touehsd them, and best of
all would destroy haustellate insects
like bugs, plant and scale lice. I first
recommended tnis to nthe. public in
1878. In 18S0 Dr. C. "V. Biley recommended the Kerosene and "Milk Emulsion.   I tried tffis in 1S81. together
with the Kerosene and soap, and found
that while it was no easier to mix, it
was more injurious to the foliage, than
the mixture which I had used successfully for three years. Ilthink others
have had a like experiene, as nearly
all now recommend and use. the kerosene and soap mixture. The way I
prepare this kerosene and soap emulsion is as follows: I mix one quart of
soft soap, or one-fourth lb. of hard soap
with one or two quarts of boiling water,
as soon as the soap is all dissolvedl stir
in, while all is yet hot, one pint of
kerosene oil. This is now violently
stirred till it is permanently mix—that
is till upon standing the oil will not
rise to the top but will remain incorporated with the liquid. This stirring
is best done by use of a force pump—
pumping back into the vessel containing the liquid. Wheir-we are ready to
use this stir in enough water to make
fifteen pints in all—that is one-fifteenth
of the liquid applied would be kerosene
oil.
If used, as above suggested this insecticide will injure no foliage so. far
as I have tried it, and I have used it
very extensively, but will destroy many
of the suctatorial insects like the plant
lice, more effectually than anything I
have tried.
Many have complained of a lack of
success in  the  use  of the Kerosene
Emulsion.   In such cases I presume the
explanation lies in the manner of making the application.   We must bear in
mind that the lice are well concealed
and protected by the thousand leaves,
from which they are sucking the life
and a livelihood.   Often the leaves curl
up and thus make the protection more
sure.   But we must strike every louse
or insect with the liquid.   We can not
then turn or sprinkle   on the liquid
gently, we must dash it on with force,
that every insect may be struck;   then
there will be no complaint of ill success.   Thus  the   Kerosene   Emulsion
should always be applied with a good
force pump.   It is doubtless better, to
throw all liquid insecticides with force
in spraying for injurious insects;  with
the Kerosene Emulsion it is absolutely
essential  to  success.    The"! Kerosene
Emulsion is superior to any other insecticide, so far as I have experimented in
destroying plant lice, scale or bark lice,
many of the bugs, and not a few caterpillars,   grubs  and  slugs.    Its great
value lies in its excellence as a specific
against aphides  or plant lice.   Even
the eggs can be killed by its use early
I in the spring just before they hatch.
| In such cases as   the  snowball plant
; louse, which causes the leaves to curl
j up around it, it is' more important to
j spray the plants before the eggs hatch,
; or very soon thereafter.   Prof. C. P.
' Gillette, of the Iowa Experiment Station, reports that by spraying lousy
swine, with the Kerosene Emulsion,
throwing it on with a force pump, all
the vermin were destroyed.   For swine
with their coarse sparse hair, I see no
j objection to this practice, and have no
! doubt of its success.   For lice on other
| stock I think there is a better plan.
Obituary.
Thomas Eccle died •April 23, 1S00.
He was born in Dublin, Ireland. Sept.
22y 1826, making him 63 years and
7 months of age. He was brought
to America by his parents when but a
child of six or seven. They stopped
at Rochester, N. Y., for a time, and in
1S36 went to Monroe,Mich-, to liv.e. In
1841 Mr. Eccle went to Adrian where
he lived until 1859 when h§ came to
Saline. Since "59 he has lived in Ypsilanti and from 1863 to '68 in Ann Arbor, the remainder of his life being
spent in Saline. On Sept. 11th 1863
he was married to Cathrine Lashier,
Two daughters was the result of the
union. The younger having died some
ninteen years ago; the widow and older
daughter survive him. He has always
enjoyed comparative^ good health.
One year ago last January a little sore
made its appearance on the lower lip,
not much attention was given it, but it
grew slowly until September when the
first treatment was given. At this
time came a small bunch under the
chin, which, since Feby. had developed
into a rose cancer, and eating much
more rapidly than the other, it sapped
his life away gradually day by day. At
the time of his death the whole lower
lip, part of the left cheek and upper
lip were covered with the cancer
aud the one under the chin was
about four inches across, and had
eaten through the throat to the
depth of three inches. He had taken
no food except in liquid form since the
latter part of January. He was up and
out of doors every day till the day he
died. Last Tuesday morning his vocal
organs became paralized so he did not
speak after that. He died easily, each
breath being shorter and shorter. He
hoped and prayed that God might
bless every one who had done him even
the slightest kindness in any way. He
was a man of very positive belief, always aiming -to do right. He was a
most earnest worker in. the prohibition
cause, as all his acquaintances well
know. He stood firm to the pledge he
took the 22nd day of Feb. 1S78, when
tweny-six of the citizens signed with
him. Com.
