Fighting Vegetable Pests
FIRST, some advice of a general
nature: Make certain what pest
you are fighting; get prepared mix
tures rather than mixing your own,
and follow closely directions on
their use; remember that excellent
treatment of plants—good feeding,
cultivation, use of good soil and
healthy seed —is the first step in sue
cessful pest control.
There are two major classifica
tions of insect pests—chewing and
sucking.
Chewing insects, such as beetles,
leave telltale holes in leaves. Con
trol by dusting or spraying plants
with arsenicals (poisons with arsen
ate of lead as a base). These reme
dies are known as stomach poisons,
for they must be eaten by the in
sects. Plants commonly attacked by
chew’ing insects include cucumber,
squash, other vine crops, mustard,
tomato and pepper.
Sucking insects, such as aphis or
plant lice, can be detected in small
groups on the under surface of the
leaves. Regular inspections should
bo made. Control by dusting or
spraying, directly on the insects,
nicotine sulphate or pyrethrum. :
" uese insects do not eat exterior
plant texture and must be killed by
a poison fatal to them by contacting
their bodies. Among plants attacked
are peas', pepper, cabbage, and
crops being grown for greens.
Special treatment should be given
two pests—cutworm and leaf beetle.
The former (a chewing insect) is
very fond of all young plants and
is controlled by spreading about a
spoonful of "poison bran bait” near
each plant. This should be done at
nightfall. *
Beetles •<also chewing insects) are
found on tomato, pepper, turnips
and other plants. They can be par
tially controlled by a Bordeau mix
ture spray containing an arsenical.

THESE SUCCESSFUL FARMERS
ST rvst s Petits
Each year thousands mere farmers discover that they can make a
lot more money from cotton by using a lot more potash than the
average fertilizer contains. Once they put extra potash on trial, they
find it just the thing their cotton needs io pay them extra cash.
tor instance, there is V. S. BICKLEY, of Lexington, S. C., who writes: “Last
year I planted cotton on two plots of sandy land which formerly had shown
severe Rust. Both received the same fertilizer and top-dresser, except that one
plot got 100 pounds of NV Muriate of Potash per acre. On this plot the yield was
2,444 pounds of seed cotton per acre, while the other plot yielded only 778 pounds.
“My private gin showed 39% lint for the potash-top-dressed cotton as against
33% lint for the other cotton. The staples were 1 1/16 inches as compared to
15/16 inch. Before the cotton opened I weighed 50 green bolls from each plot
taken from the same positions on the stalks. The potash bolls weighed 96 ounces
and the rusty bolls 66 ounces. I just about broke even on the rusty cotton and
made a profit of $76.24 per acre from the potash-top-dressed cotton.”
chopping out, we top-dressed with 200 pounds of NV Kainit. Our first rain came
the 28th of July.
“In 1935, a good season, we made 500 pounds of seed cotton on this acre. In
1936, we picked 1,700 pounds of seed cotton and didn’t find a speck of Rust,
except on the four rows which we left as a checkin the middle of the field without
NV Kainit. We are convinced about NV Kainit for Rust.”
——l
W. A. GAINEY, of Dunn, N. C., wanted to plant a 9-acre field in cotton, but his ®
children begged him not to. They said it would produce a lot of knotty, half-open
bolls which nobody could pick, because it had always done this before. Mr.
Gainey writes: “At an evening school our new agricultural teacher told us that
plenty of potash would prevent Rust, so I decided to plant the 9-acre field. I used
500 pounds of fertilizer per acre and top-dressed with 100 pounds of Muriate of
Potash and Nitrate of Soda.
“Where I used to get short, inferior staple from small, knotty bolls, I got a good
staple cotton from wide-open bolls that were easy to pick. My field remained

Then there is MRS. PEARL POLLARD, of
Wedowee, Ala., who writes: “For three years our
cotton was ruined by Rust. One acre, where the
old house and barn stood, was completely eaten
up in 1935. Rust struck before a boll matured
and what little cotton we did get was so terrible
to pick, that we named it ‘the old rusty acre.’
“My husband swore he’d never try this spot
in cotton again. After it was planted in Austrian
peas for corn, I asked to use it as a test plot. He
and the two boys hooted at me but finally
agreed. April 20 it was planted with the same
j variety of cotton seed it grew before, using 200
pounds of 6-8-4 in with planting. In June, after

I top-dressed with 200 pounds of Kainit per acre
right after chopping out and he didn’t. My Father’s cotton was practicaliy dead
from Rust by the Ist of August, but mine remained healthy right on through
picking. There was no Rust or Wilt in my cotton.
About one-third of the fruit on his cotton reached
maturity, while all of mine was well matured. Our
land was almost identical. Wc plowed and fer
tilized alike, except that I used Kainit and he
didn’t. I made 456 pounds of seed cotton per acre
more than he did and extra Kainit was the
difference.” _
Thousands of farmers throughout the South
have found that the small extra cost of
extra potash returns big dividends in in
creased yields of better quality cotton.
Plenty of NV POTASH in your fertilizer or top-dresser PREVENTS
RUST, helps control Wilt and produces vigorous, healthy plants, with
less shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pick, and better yields
of uniform, high-quality lint.
When you buy your fertilizer and top-dresser, tell your fertilizer
man you want more NV POTASH. Plan now to top-dress with 100 pounds
of NV MURIATE or 200 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre,oruse a nitro gen
potash mixed-goods top-dresser containing 10 to 25% NV POTASH.
If you prefer to use your extra potash at planting, select a fertilizer
containing 8 to 10% NV POTASH. Where Rust has been very severe
you may need both high-potash fertilizer at planting and potash top
dressing to STOP RUST and START PROFITS.
