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.
