We -wýi1 considei two general -classes of pests, with which we most commonly deal, i.L e., Insects' and Fungi; hence the remedies are insec- ticides and fungicidés. The twýo arteoften combined iii ont spray so that one application.controls both. Iùsecticidesý are of two types; pois- omi, which kilt' by being eaten, and contact, or those that kiIl by actually touching the insects., This distinction is. very important, because insects which chew and eat foilage, tan, be controlled by the use of poisons, while those that suck the jices of the plant inust be killecl by contact, *because no poisons tan be gotten into their food. The contact spray kilts the insect eitber by cauüstic action that corrodes their tissues, or by ciogging their breathing pores, and suffocating the insect., Qil sprays are now generally used *for thi.& purpose, as they are more efficient' than some of the old meth- ods of contrôl, and lese expensive and easier to apply.

Dig the hole deep enough so that a f ew iches of - good top soit c'an be put on the. bottom of the hole before the tree is. set, and at least six inches larger ail around than1 the size of the eartb bail.

A good way to measure depth of the. hole is to lay a board acrois the top* of the hole and then mneasuire down to the' center. This is mor e accurate- than measuring'on the side.
