COMPOUNDS TO KILL INSECTS
Experimental Work Recently Under
taken by Specialists of the
Bureau of Chemistry.
Back of the manufacture of Goodyear Tires
for small cars is the same purpose to supply
high value in the product that is behind
the manufacture of the Goodyear Tires that
equip the most expensive automobiles built.
This purpose is expressed by the enormous
resources, extraordinary skill and scrupulous
care applied to the manufacture of Goodyear
Tires in the largest tire factory in the world
devoted solely to the 30x3-, 30x3 1 /2'» and
31x4"inch sizes.
The effect of this endeavor is noted in the
fact that last year more cars using these sizes
were factory-equipped with Goodyear Tires
than with any other kind.
It is also noted in the fact that, if you own a
Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell or other car
requiring the sizes mentioned, you can secure
Goodyear Tires and Goodyear Heavy Tourist
Tubesat the nearest Goodyear Service Station.
(Prepared by (he United States Depart
ment o£ Agriculture.)
The development of methods for the
manufacture of cheaper and better
chemical compounds to kill insects and
fungi which destroy large quantities
of fruits and vegetables each year is
the object of experimental work re
cently undertaken by specialists in the
Insecticide and fungicide laboratory
of the bureau of chemistry, United
States department of agriculture.
The high cost of copper, which is an
essential ingredient of the fungicide
known as bordeaux mixture, has led
to experiments to determine whether a
bordeaux mixture cannot be prepared
which will be more effective for each
unit of copper present than as usually
prepared, thus resulting in a saving of
this expensive constituent of the bor
deaux mixture.
Studies also will be made of the
manufacture of paris green, lead ar
senate, and other compounds of ar
senic. No systematic study of all the
compounds of arsenic that might be
useful in spraying has been made, and
It is thought probable that such a
systematic study will lead either to
the development of cheaper sprays,
because the constituent elements are
cheaper, or to sprays that are more
effective than the sprays now used.
Nicotine as an insecticide will be
studied with a view of developing pos
sible substitutes for it, since there are
a number of compounds which resem
ble nicotine in chemical and toxic
properties. It is hoped to develop
something that will be cheaper and
even more effective than nicotine. A
study will also be made of the best
and cheapest methods of extracting
nicotine from tobacco products on the
farm. Compounds of lime, sulphur,
and other compounds which may be
used ns insecticides and fungicides will
be investigated.
Commercial methods of preparing
insecticides and fungicides will be
studied under practical conditions of
preparation with a view of developing
cheaper and more effective methods
for manufacturing them.
The efficiency of the insecticides
developed and the question of whether
or not they are injurious to growing
fruits and vegetables will be deter
mined by field experiments conducted
by the bureaus of entomology, plant
industry and chemistry.
‘ A method for preparing a commer
cial grade of calcium arsenate has
been worked out and a patent obtained
for the process. The patent has been
dedicated to the public, and any manu
facturer may use It. The results of
the investigation and a description of
the process for preparing calcium ar
senate have been published in depart
ment Bulletin 750, which may be ob
tained upon application to the United
States department of agriculture,

the superior court. of said county to
be held on the third Monday in
March, 1920, he will apply to said
court by petition to be relieved of his
disabilities placed upon him by the
verdict of the jury in the case of
Minnie L. Hand vs. Ernest Hand, in
a suit for divorce by Minnie L. Hand
against Ernest Hand, at the March
term, 1917, of said court, wherein a
total divorce was granted between
the parties and petitioners, Ernest

Currants need good soil, and should
not be planted too close, The rows
should be at least seven feet apart,
and the bushes five feet apart in the
row. At tills distance, when full
grown, they will come togellKir in the
rows and leave none too much space
between the rows for cultivation, and
picking. Of course, this is for
mar
ket purposes.
For home purposes four or five
bushes, if properly taken care of, will
give an ample supply. The soil should
be rich and kept rich and moist by
ample mulching with strong manure.
This should be attended to every

taken out, with the exception of three
or four. All wood and all branches
lying on the ground siiould also be
cut away, together with broken stalks.
They should have a dormant spray of
lime and sulphur, of the same strength
as used for apples, one gallon of con
centrated solution to nine gallons of
water. This Is to eradicate scale and
destroy fungus germs.
