An effective spray formula has been developed for the control of the tobacco flea beetle, that appears to give better control of this important pest in southern tobacco seed beds than other materials and methods which have been in use for some time.

The formula consists of a mixture of

50 Gallons Bordeaux Mixture, 3 : 3 : 50 or 4 : 4 : 50

2 Pounds Lead Arsenate

1 Pint Black Leaf 40 Nicotine Sulfate
