We would recommend that our readers secure Bulletin No. 68, Diseases and Pests of Cultivated Plants, from the Department of Agriculture at Victoria. This bulletin is free and will be found to be of considerable interest and value. So many letters have reached us asking for help that it has occurred to us that an article on the controlling of garden pests might be of value to our readers. Spraying is one of the several methods which may be used in protecting plants from pests and diseases. Some of the other methods being hand picking. fumigating, burning, soil steril- ization, and other more or less practicable methods. Spraying is, we believe, the best method, and it is probably the simplest to understand, and that means considerable to a garden lover when he Ands his garden almost overrun with pests of all kinds. The seed houses and Govern- ment Agricultural Departments issue spray bulletins which may be had for the asking, and are of considerable value. Even with the use of a good spray calendar there are several fundamentals which must be understood if our work is to be really effective. Namely: The spray must be used at the time of an insect's life when it is eating. It must not be too strong or the cure will be worse than the disease. The spraying must be done thorough- ly and it must remain on the plant a sufficient length of time to do its work. A sudden shower may undo the whole work, or unthinkingly one mey use the hose promiscuously. There are really two well de- fined seasons for spraying to the best advantage, i.e., the dormant or winter season, and the grow- ing or summer season. Sprays used during the growing season should not be quite as strong as that used when the plant is dor- mant, else serious damage may be done by burning the foliage and tender new growth. Dor- mant sprays are used chiefly to destroy scale insects and may be used almost any time after the plant stops its growth in the fall and before it again starts up in the early spring. It is advis- able however not to spray too early in the winter or in freez- ing weather as then much of the benefits expected will not be se- cured. Summer spraying may on the other hand be done when required. The sprays used against leaf eating insects are classed as poisons and do their work through being absorbed into the digestive tract. Sprays used for scale insects are called contact insecticides and they destroy by suffocation. To destroy sucking insects such insecticides as to- bacco extract (nicotine sulphate) Black Leaf "40" are valuable. For fungus diseases such as rust, mildew, canker blight, etc., a fungicide such as a spray con- taining sulphur, either lime-sul- phur or Bordeaux mixture. Fungicides should be applied fairly evenly over the who!e plant from top to bottom. There is now a spray available which is called an All Round Spray. It is a combination of the ingredients used in the various sprays, and in addition to being very effective, has the added ad- vantage of being both a money saver and a labor saver, as the one spray takes the place of two or three.
