Of the solution, when prepared, it takes about one gallon to a square rod, applied in the form of a spray as fine as possible. For this purpose the “Nixon Pump” is the most effective among the many that I have ever tested. The application should be made upon the first appearance of the worms; any delay resulting often in entire loss of crop, since nothing but flowage will kill the larger worms. Another and more convenient solution is obtained from Hill’s Extract of Tobacco--two or three quarts to a barrel of water. This requires no heating, and may be prepared at a moment’s notice. My sales last year of this Extract amounted to over eight hundred gallons. Respectfully yours, FRANKLIN CROCKER.
