By Charles S. Cathcart, State Chemist .* This bulletin contains the results of the third annual inspection of commercial feeding stuffs. The inspection was made under the authority of the law which was approved March 28th, 1912. The Experiment Station is endeavoring to look after the in- terests of the consumers of feeding stuffs as well as the honest manufacturers of these materials, hut in order to obtain the best results it is necessary that every dealer and consumer should co- operate. It is impossible to have an inspector, present when every shipment is received and, consequently, the dealers and consumers should be familiar with the main requirements of the law. If materials are received which do not comply with the requirements, they should not be accepted and the state chemist should be in- formed regarding the shipment. *The chemical analyses were made by Ralph L. Willis, Samuel I. Hoddeson, Louis J. Kleinfeld and Archie C. Wark. The microscopical examinations were made by Joseph J. Williams. C2 o jOuuii, j 4 The full text of the law has been published several times and it does not seem necessary to repeat it at this time. The requirements that should be remembered, however, may be briefly stated as follows: 1. The material must be registered by the actual shipper (manu- facturer or jobber). 2. The brand name, the guarantees for protein fat and liber, and (in mixed feeds) the specific name of each ingredient used in its manufacture must be stated. 3. The name and address of the actual shipper must be attached. By insisting upon the above requirements the purchaser will not only be co-operating with the Experiment Station in the en- forcement of the law, but may save himself some inconvenience should one of our inspectors find a feed that is not properly branded, since it will be necessary to have the matter attended to before the material can be sold. The law under which this inspection was made is effective only in Xew Jersey, and the person selling cattle feeds in the state is the one responsible for fulfilling the requirements of the law. Many manufacturers assume these responsibilities in order to pro- tect their various customers, as they realize the advantages to be gained by so doing. During the past year the writer has received an appointment from the Federal Government as Commissioned State Official and is authorized to take samples of cattle feeds which enter into inter- state commerce. Should deficient or adulterated feeds be located during our regular inspection, the information can be used for starting proceedings in the proper courts of the United States against the shipper. The advantage of the appointment is that the responsibility for the interstate shipments can be placed upon the shipper instead of upon the local dealer. Registrations. During the past year 518 manufacturers registered 2,582 brands of feeding stuffs which they intended to offer for sale in this state. Our inspectors found 118 brands that were being offered for sale before the required registrations had been made 1 , and' the dealers holding these brands were notified not to dispose of the same until the requirements of the law had been complied with. Registra- tions were received later for 91 of these brands. The number of unregistered brands found last year was larger than reported above, and it is therefore quite evident that more attention is being given to this requirement. From the reports rendered by the inspectors, it is noted that there are some manufacturers who' do not state in the information attached to their products exactly the information which was reg- istered. As it is absolutely necessary to have the two statements exactly the same — and these include the brand names, the guar- antees for protein, fat and fiber and the specific names of the in- gredients used in mixed feeds — great care should be used to accom- plish this end. A brand that is registered with certain guarantees does not cover a material which carries a different guarantee, although the same brand name may b.e used. The Feeding Stuffs law, as enacted three years ago 1 , contained requirements that were new to the local dealers and consumers, and in order that everyone could become familiar with the requirements regarding the method of branding, some allowances have been made in the past. Inasmuch as everyone has been given sufficient op- portunity to learn the method of procedurei, it will be necessary in the future to have all deficient branding corrected before the sale of the material is approved. Tonnage of Feeding Stuffs Sold. The law requires reports to be filed on July 1st and January 1st of each year showing the tonnage of feeding stuffs sold during the preceding six months. The following is a summary of the reports received covering the sales made during 1913, 1914 and 1915: January Total for Year. July Reports.

During the inspection 1,467 samples were received,, and of this number 49 were forwarded by individuals and the others were col- lected by the regular inspectors who visited every county in the state. The samples were secured in 166 cities and towns, and rep- resented the stock of 333 dealers and consumers. Examination. Each brand collected was examined microscopically, in order to determine the ingredients present. They were also examined by use of the official methods as adopted by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, in order to determine the content of pro- tein, fat and fiber. The results as obtained by these two examina- tions are to be found in the tabulations on the following pages. Results of the Inspection. The laboratory work of the inspection consisted of the examina- tion of 1,151 samples, 49 of which, being unofficial samples, were reported directly to the party requesting the examination and are not included in the tabulations. Of the 1,102 official samples ex- amined, 294 or 26.6 per cent, did not satisfy all of the guarantees given. The deficiencies due to the ingredients found are not in- cluded in the above figures. Last year the percentage of deficient samples was 17.7, which shows that there was a falling off in the grades of feeds furnished. It would be difficult to state the cause of this backward movement, but the fact remains that an unusually large number of shipments were deficient and, with two or three exceptions, were paid for at prices that were fixed for materials containing the guaranteed amounts of the nutrients. The total number of deficiencies noted was protein 103, fat 103 and fiber 154. There were 233 samples deficient in one nutrient, • 53 deficient in tAvo nutrients and 7 deficient in the three nutrients. The percentage of samples that were found deficient in protein and fat is about the same as reported last year. There was a very large increase in the percentage of fiber deficiencies, and this increase 7 is sufficient to account for the poorer showing as found during this inspection. * The following tabulation is a summary of the inspection. It will be noted that the average composition and average selling prices of Calf Meals, Feed Mixtures and Poultry Foods are not given. These averages were not calculated on account of the vari- able character of the different brands reported under the respective headings., In preparing this tabulation the Protein as found is considered to satisfy its guarantee if it is not more than one per cent, below it. An allowance of onedialf per cent, is also made for Fat and for the Fiber determinations. 8 Summary of the Results of the Inspection.

Weiss Introduction The florists’ products of New Jersey amount in a single year to more than $4,000,000.00. The insect problems incident to this large industry have been both great and pressing. Despite these facts, however, it has not been possible for the Experiment Station to take up the study of even the more important ones. Indeed, such seems to have been the case all over the Unitd States, for but the modicum of attention has anywhere been given to the subject. In the course of his work as assistant to the State Entomologist the writer has had an excellent opportunity to observe the methods of insect control in practical use and has found them woefully lack- ing in efficiency. Furthermore, he has found that the florists are working rather too independently in these matters, and that really valuable discoveries of different men have not come into general use. With a view to sifting the truth from this mass of error and putting it in a form easily available to the florists of New Jersey this bulletin has been prepared, and it is hoped that it may do some- thing to lighten their burdens. Contribution from the Department of Entomology, Thomas J. Headlee, Entomologist. 3 4 Description of Insects The Greenhouse Leaf-tier ( Phlyctccnia rubigalis Guen.) Fig. 1 — Phlyctccnia rubigalis: a, moth; b, same in natural position at rest; c. egg mass ; d, larva from above ; e, same from side ; f, head of same; g, pupa case; h, chrysalis; a, b, d, e, g, h, one half larger than natural size; c, twice natural size; f, more enlarged. (After F. H. Chittenden in Bui. 27, U. S. Dept. Agr. Bur. Ent.) The parent moth is pale, reddish brown, with a wing spread of about of an inch and can be found during the day under leaves, benches, etc. It readily flies out when the plants are disturbed, and, is easily recognized by its triangular form when at rest. Injury- — The injury is accomplished by the larva and consists of a disfigurement of the foliage due to its feeding on especially the lower surface of the leaf. As a rule the larva ties two or more leaves together or folds over the edge of a single leaf. Sometimes the feeding is done in a thin web which is spread over the under surface. Food Plants. — Chrysanthemum is the favorite food, but other re- corded food plants are ageratum, geranium, dahlia, carnation, be- bonia, violet and rose. Life History. — The moth, which hides during the day beneath benches or on the under sides of the lower leaves or in other places, appears at night and deposits eggs on the under surface of the leaves in groups of from two to fifteen or more. These hatch in ten days or two weeks ; the larvae feed for two or three weeks, and when full grown are about of an inch long, greenish or greenish-yellow and slightly translucent. Along the back is a median green line, and on each side of this a double white line. 5 Pupation takes place between the parts of a leaf or two leaves folded together, the moth emerging about a week later. Control . — Spray the under side of the leaves with arsenate of lead as soon as the larvae appear. Handpicking is also effective. The Diamond-back Moth ( Plntella macnlipcnnis Curt.) Fig. 2 — Diamond-back moth, Plntella macnlipcnnis ; a, larva ; b, one segment of same, more enlarged, as seen from above ; c, same, side view ; d, pupa ; e, pupa in lace like cocoon ; f, adult ; g, right wings of dark variety of same ; h, adult at rest with wings folded ; i, tip of pupa. (U. S. Dept. Agr.) The moth is J4 °f an 1 nc h long, with a zuing spread of about % of an inch. The wing markings are variable. Injury. — The larvae feed between the leaf surfaces and on the under sides, causing a riddled condition of the foliage. Food Plants. — Various plants become infested, such as sweet alyssum, stock, wall flower, cabbage and related species. Life History. — The translucent eggs are laid on the upper or the lower leaf surface. They hatch in about five days and the larvae feed for almost two weeks. These are slender, light green and less than 2/5 of an inch in length when full grown, also quite active when disturbed. The pupal period lasts five or six days and takes place in a thin cocoon on the under side of a leaf at the base of the stem or some other concealed place. Control. — Apply arsenate of lead, one pound to 18 gallons of water, to under side of leaves. If plants are in bloom, spray with fresh pyrethrum at the rate of 1 ounce to 2 gallons of water. Do not grow cabbage, cauliflower, rape, turnips, etc., near the houses in which stock or sweet alyssum is to be raised. Keep down all cruciferous weeds around the greenhouses. The Rose or Oblique-banded Leaf-roller (Ar chips rosaceana Harr.) Fig- 3 — Rose leaf roller, Archips rosaceana, larva, from side and above. Enlarged. (After J. J. Davis.) Fig. A — Rose leaf roller, adult enlarged. (After J. J. Davis.) The moth is light brownish in color, zvith a wing spread of from J/8 to 1%. inches. The fore zvings are obliquely crossed zmth 3 more or less distinct, broad, darker brown bands. The under side of body and wings is yellozvish orange. Injury. — The larvae feed on the leaf tissue and flower buds and conceal themselves by tying several leaves together or folding over a single leaf. Food Plants. — Rose, carnation and various out-of-door plants such as orchard trees and small fruits are likely to become infested. Life History — Thirty or more yellowish-green eggs are laid in compact masses on the upper leaf surface. They hatch in about two weeks, and the greenish-yellow larvse feed at first on the leaf tissue and later on the petals and buds. The mature larva, which is from 24 to % of an inch long and olive green, pupates within a folded leaf or bud, and two or three weeks later the adult moth emerges. This is, of course, active only at night. 7 Control . — Spray with arsenate of lead when the plants are set out. This should be supplemented by handpicking if the foliage is too dense to apply the spray properly. The Variegated Cutworm ( Peridroma margaritosa Haw.) d Fig. 5 — Peridroma sancia; a, moth; b, normal form of larva, lateral view; c, same in curved position ; d, dark form, dorsal view ; e, egg from side; f, egg mass on twig. (After Howard.) The caterpillar when full grown is usually dull , blackish brown, mottled with gray, with rozv of 4 to 6 yellowish spots along middle of back. Injury. — Leaves, stems, flower buds and tender shoots are eaten by these insects. Food Plants . — Various greenhouse plants are injured, especially carnation, chrysanthemum, smilax, sweet pea, asparagus, violet, rose and pansy. Life History . — The parent moth lays from three hundred to five hundred eggs in masses of sixty or more. They hatch in five or six days and the larvae feed on the leaves and buds. They are active only at night and hide during the day. At the end of twen- ty-five or thirty days they are full grown and about \y 2 inches long. Pupation takes place in the soil, requiring from fifteen to 8 twenty days, after which the moths appear. These live only a week or ten days, during which time they are active and deposit eggs only at night. Control . — Sod soil likely to contain cut worms should be sterilized before using. According to Mr. J. J. Davis, 1 pound of Paris green to 16 pounds of bran, moistened (not thoroughly wet) gives good results, a small quantity being placed in a pile at the base of alternate plants. Lettuce leaves lightly dusted with Paris green is another poison bait. The Florist’s Review states that corn meal mixed with enough Paris green to color it and scattered among in- fested plants is good. Watering, however, should be avoided six or eight hours before and after applying. Handpicking is sometimes practical in a small house. The Florida Fern Cut Worm ( Eriopus florid ensis Guen.) i Fig. 6 — The Florida fern caterpillar, Callopistria floridensis, twice natural; size. (After J. J. Davis.) 9 Fig. 7 — The Florida fern caterpillar, adult, nearly twice natural size. After J. J. Davis.) The adult is a rather attractive brozvnish moth, with variegated wings; length of body, about y 2 inch ; wing spread , l}i inches. 7 wo forms of. caterpillars occur, one a pale green and the other a velvety black. Injury . — The larvae feed on all portions of the plant, completely stripping it in a few days. Food Plants. — Adiantum, cyrtomium, nephrolepis, pteris, polypo- dium, blechnum and other varieties of ferns are subject to injury. Life History . — The eggs are laid singly on the under surface of the tips of the leaflets. These hatch in about a week and the young larvae feed on the tender leaves, usually at night. As they become older they hide during the day, if the house is light, at the base of the plant or in the soil. Two forms of caterpillars occur, one a light green and the other a velvety black. At the end of ten days or two weeks they are full grown and enter the soil to pupate, the moths appearing about twelve or fourteen days later. Control . — Spray with fresh pyrethrum, 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water, plus ^4 ounce of soap.. Applications should be made once a week for five or six weeks. It may be necessary, if the cater- pillars are numerous, to supplement the spray by handpicking the caterpillars and “swatting” the moths at dusk when they are active. The Alternanthera Worm ( Hymenia perspectalis Hubn.) 10 Fig. 9 — Alternanthera worm, adult, enlarged. (After J. J. Davis.) The full grown larva is about y 2 an inch long, shining green, with rows of small black dots on its back. Injury — The larvae feed on the foliage of Alternanthera varieties. Food Plants — Alternanthera varieties. Life History. — The eggs are laid singly on the stem of the plant near its base. Upon hatching the larva first feeds on the under surface of new leaves and later eats the entire leaf. As it becomes larger, it feeds only at night, hiding during the day at the base of the plant. Pupation takes place in a thin loose cocoon found on the wall of the pot or at the base of the plant, an entire life cycle requiring from two to three months. Control. — Spray with arsenate of lead, 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water. Apply it in a fine mist-like condition so as to coat the foliage completely without getting much on the soil. Handpicking is also necessary, especially if the plants are in pots. The Azalea Leaf Caterpillar ( Gracilaria zachrysa Meyrick.) Azaleas are sometimes injured by a small, pale green cater- pillar which first mines the leaf and later turns over the tip, feeding therein, causing it to turn black and die. Pupation takes place in a slender, whitish cocoon usually attached to the leaf near the injured portion. The adult is a small moth and in severe infesta- tions, the azalea plant presents an unsightly appearance with the tip of every leaf black and dead. This pest was introduced from Europe and as yet has not become widely established. The Water-lily Leaf Cutter ( Nymphula obliteralis Wlk.) Water lilies and other aquatic plants are sometimes injured by an aquatic caterpillar which cuts oval pieces out of the leaves and fas- 11 tens them together forming a flattened, lens-shaped case which pro- tects it as it moves about and feeds on the leaves. This is some- times quite a serious pest where aquatic plants are raised and is usually gotten rid of by hand picking. The larval cases are readily seen being about three quarters of an inch in length. Sometimes the leaves of the water lilies are sprayed lightly when dry with arsenate of lead. If much force is used, the spray, of course, submerges the leaves and fails to coat them. Fuller’s Rose Beetle (Aramigus fulleri Horn) Fig. 10 — Fuller’s rose beetle, Aramigus fulleri ; a, larva; b, pupa; c. beetle, side view ; d, same, dorsal view ; e, eggs enlarged and natural size. (From Riley.) The brown or gray snout beetle from % °f an 1 nc h l° n g> rests during the day under leaves, clinging motionless to twigs. Injury. — This insect is destructive in both adult and larval stages.. The larvae feed on the roots of their food plants and the beetles at- tack the foliage, buds and flowers. Food Plants. — Rose, geranium, gardenia, azalea, abutilon, be- gonia, lily, primrose, camellia, palm and canna, have been known to be attacked. Life History. — Pale yellow eggs 1/20 of an inch long are de- posited in batches of ten to sixty under loose bark at base of plant,, just above the ground. These hatch in one month and the larvae enter the soil and feed on the roots for from one to three months. Pupation takes place in the ground and the beetles which emerge later are long-lived and hardy. All stages of the insect can be 12 found during the winter and early spring months. As a rule the beetles feed after dusk and are quiet during the day, resting con- cealed under leaves and clinging to twigs so as to escape detection. They are sluggish of movement and are unable to fly. Control . — Hand pick and destroy the beetles. A few drops of carbon bisulphide injected here and there about the roots will de- stroy the larvae. Tobacco dust applications about the roots are also helpful. The Rose Midge ( Neocerata rhodophaga Coq.) Fig. 11 — Rose midge, Neocerata rhodophaga, female, enlarged and one an- tenna more enlarged. Length of body one-twentieth of an inch. (After J. J. Davis.) Fig. 11a — Rose midge, male, length of body, about one twenty-fifth inch. (After J. J. Davis.) White maggots within brownish or black flower or leaf buds of rose. Injury. — The buds become disfigured and deformed, finally turn- ing black and dying. Food Plants. — Roses, such as American Beauty, Uncle John, Killarney, Liberty, Richmond, Meteor, Wooton, Bride, Madame Chatenay, La France and others, have been known to be injured. 13 Life History . — The adult is a small fly or midge which deposits very small, yellowish eggs beneath the sepals of the flower buds or between the folded leaves of the leaf buds. The eggs hatch in a couple of days and the maggots feed inside, sometimes twenty to thirty occurring in a single bud. In a week’s time they are full grown, make their way out and drop to the ground in which they pupate, this stage also lasting about one week. From June until November they are most troublesome. Control.- — Rotate crops. Plant infested range to some other crop for a year, as the midge is known to attack only roses. If this is not possible it will be necessary to clean the house thoroughly in mid-winter, say in December or January, when the soil insects are dormant. Plants should be destroyed, soil removed from benches and placed some distance from houses. Rubbish beneath benches should be removed and floors and benches sprayed with 20 per cent kerosene emulsion. New soil and new clean plants must take the place of the old. This method lias a disadvantage in that the prices of roses are usually highest at the time it must be carried out. The Chrysanthemum Leaf Miner or Marguerite Fly ( Phytomza chrysanthemi Kowarz) Small, grayish flies about 1/12 of an inch long. Can be seen crawl- ing slowly or resting on plants. Fig. 12 — Dorsal view of adult female marguerite fly, Phytomyza chrysan- themi, enlarged. (After M. T. Smulyan.) Fig. 13 — Leaf showing work of larva or maggot. (After M. T. Smulyan.) Injury . — The colorless larvae mine the leaves, their irregular whitish lines and blotches often taking up an entire leaf surface. In addition to the disfigurement of the foliage, growth is interfered with and the size and the number of flowers are often reduced. Food Plants. — Chrysanthemum, marguerite, and feverfew seem to be the favorite plants. It is also known to attack helianthus, tansy, goldenrod, ragweed, white daisy, dandelion and others. Life History . — Each female deposits from 125 to 150 eggs, every one being laid singly in a slit made by the ovipositor between the skin and flesh of the under surface of the leaf. The eggs hatch within a week and the larvje feed immediately under the epidermis of the upper surface. At the end of two or three weeks, they are full grown and pupate in the larval mine, the pupal stage lasting about two weeks. The average life cycle is about thirty-three days, the exact length of time depending on the temperature under which the plants are grown. Control . — Apply “Black Leaf 40“ diluted from 400 to 450 times in water with the addition of 1 pound of good laundry soap to every 15 30 gallons, every eleven or twelve days or oftener if the tempera- ture is high. Spray both sides of the leaves, especially the lower one. The Chrysanthemum Midge ( Riiopalomyia hypogcca H. Lw.) In the Journal of Economic Entomology Vol. 8, p. 367, Dr. E. P. Felt gives an account of the injury by this insect to chrysanthemums in which he states that the base of the stem was swollen to nearly twice the normal diameter and that swollen masses of tissue oc- curred in and near the mid-rib of the developing leaves, stopping growth and resulting in a deformed head. The adult is a midge or small fly and inside of the galls or swellings are found the maggots or larvae. Dr. Felt states that the species is of European origin and that the initial attack is usually confined to buds or tissue just un- folding, including subterranean buds on root stalks. As far as is known, this pest has been found only in Michigan. Cutting and burning of infested parts or plants is evidently the best course to pursue. The Greenhouse White Fly (Aleyrodes vaporariorum Westw.) Fig. 14 — Aleyrodes vaporariorum ; a, egg; b, young larva; c, pupa, top view; d, pupa, side view ; e, adult, c, d, e, about 25 times natural size ; a, b, still more enlarged, (a, d, after Morrill, Tech. Bui. Mass. Agr. Exp. Sta. ; e, after Morrill Circ. 57, U. S. Dept. Agr. Bur. Ent.) 16 Adults are zvhite winged , yellow bodied insects about 3/50 of an inch in length. The younger stages resembling scale insects. Injury . — This consists in an abstraction of the sap from the un- der sides of the leaves by both the nymphs and the adults. If the attack is severe, the leaves dry up and die. Food Plants. — Geranium, tomato, cucumber, melon, lettuce, coleus, primula, rose, eggplant, lantana, fuchia, salvia, helliotrope, aster and others are all subject to injury by this pest. Life History . — Eggs are attached to the under surface of the leaf and hatch in about two weeks. The nymphs suck the sap from the leaves and in four or five weeks, adults appear, there being many generations in a greenhouse. Control . — Spraying is unsatisfactory because it is hard to reach many of the insects. Tobacco is also unsatisfactory. The best remedy is fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas. (See directions for fumigation, p. 41.) The Common Red Spider ( Tetranychus telarius Linn.) Fig. 15 — All stages of greenhouse mite: 1, egg; 2, larva; 3, protonymph; 4, deutonymph ; 5, adult. (After Ewing.) 17 Small spider like creatures about 1/75 of an inch long are present , with a spotting and discoloration of the foliage. Injury . — As a rule the injury is confined to the under surface of leaves and consists of an abstraction of sap, leaving small yellowish or white spots. In severe attacks the leaves become dried up and dead. Food Plants . — This mite has a wide range of food plants which includes rose, violet, carnation, clematis, abutilon, fuchia, bouvardia, verbena, salvia, phlox, chrysanthemum, smilax, palm, aspidistra, etc. Life History . — From ten to fifty small, spherical, glassy eggs are loosely attached about the webs which the mites spin. These hatch in from three to seven days and the young, pinkish white mites have only three pairs of legs. After the first moult they have four pairs. They moult three times before becoming adults, each stage lasting three or four days. The length of the life of the adult is about three or four weeks, but varies somewhat, depending on the temper- ature. Control . — Mites resist fumigation with tobacco or hydrocyanic acid gas. Painting sulphur on the pipes is also ineffective. Use kerosene emulsion, 1 to 10 parts of water. Flowers of sulphur 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water alone or combined with soap suds is good. Spray lower sides of leaves. Do not apply with a watering can. Neutral soaps such as ivory, one 5-cent cake to 6 gallons of water can be used. Shave soap fine, dissolve in hot water and add cold water to make 6 gallons. Allow the soap to remain on plants for 2 or 3 hours and then syringe with clear water. The above solu- tion will not kill eggs. Spraying must be repeated until plants are free. Tobacco extracts plus soap are also effective. Prevention is best policy. Use clear water at a pressure of 25 pounds. Wash off the mites and avoid drenching the beds. In winter, do the work on a bright day so that the plants will dry off rapidly. Wet the walks etc., so that the house does not become too dry. A dry atmosphere and a high temperature will promote the development of the mites. 18 The Cattleya Fly (Isosoma orchidearum Westw.) Fig. 16 — Orchid bud injured by larvae of “Cattleya Fly,” Isosoma orchid- earum,. (After J. J. Davis.) Fig. 17 — “Cattleya Fly,” adult, length about 1/7 of an inch. (After J. J. Davis.) Swollen buds containing small white maggots. Injury. — The infested bulbs become swollen, hollowed out inside and fail to produce flowers. Food Plants. — Orchids of the genus Cattleya are subject to at- tack. Life History. — The adults are small, clear winged, black bodied wasp-like insects. The female has a long ovipositor, by means of which the eggs are deposited, in the centre of the small flower bulb near the base. From one to eight larvae are found in one bulb and their feeding produces a cavity in the centre, which, of course, de- stroys the embryo flower bud. Control. — -Fumigation once a week with nicotine extracts is recommended to kill the adults. This must be done while they are emerging and is an uncertain practice. Besides, it sometimes in- jures the flowers. The practice of cutting and destroying the in- fested bulbs once a week will, if adherred to regularly, give consid- erable freedom. This must be done by an experienced man, other- wise many good bulbs will be destroyed. 19 The Orchid Root Borer ( Castnia therapon Koll.) Large pinkish white larva boring in rhizome. Injury. — The roots and bulbs are hollowed out and destroyed. Food Plants. — Oncidimn crispum, catasetum sp. amd Cattleya labiata, are at present the only recorded food plants. Life History — - The large pinkish white larva bores through the rhizome and up into the bulb. The adult is a rather large showy moth and a native of Brazil. Control. — Destroy infested parts of the plant. The Orchid Bulb Borer ( Eucactophagus graphipterus Champ.) White, grub-like larva in bidb. Injury. — This larva destroys the interior of the bulb and paves the way for decay. Food Plants. — Lycaste, Odontoglossum and various other species having large soft bulbs have been found to contain this pest. Life History — The adult is a large weevil having a light band on its back. The larva excavates a large cavity in the bulb destroying much of the interior. Pupation takes place inside of the bulb and the adults feed on leaves and other portions of the plant. Infested bulbs can be detected by pressing slightly with thumb and forefinger upon which the tissue over the cavity gives in. Control. — Destroy infested bulbs. The Cattleya Midge ( Parallelodiplosis cattleya Moll.) Yellowish maggot in swelling near the tip of root. Injury. — The injury consists in a reduction of the vitality of the plant. Food Plants. — Cattleya spp. and other orchids have been found infested. Life History.— The larvae of this midge live as yellowish maggots in an unsightly gall or swelling near the tips of the roots. Control. — Destruction of infested roots should be practiced. Do not introduce infested orchids in a house that is free of them. 20 The Greenhouse Thrips ( Heliothrips hccmorrhoidalis Bouche) Fig. 18- — Greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips hccmorrhoidalis, adult female, en- larged about 50 diameters. Greatly enlarged antenna beneath. (Af- ter H. M. Russell in Circ. 151 U. S. Dept. Agr. Bur. Ent.) Very dark small brown active insects about 1/24 of an inch long. Injury . — The adults and larvae puncture the epidermis, lacerate the tissue and suck out the juices and vegetable matter. Injured leaves become full of tiny pale spots. As the attack continues, these unite and become blotches. Leaves become limp, yellow and finally drop off. Food Plants- -This insect has a wide range of food plants such as rose, azalea, carnation, palm, rubber plant, fuchsia, croton, aspi- distra, dahlia, phlox, verbena and others. Life History . — Eggs are laid in the leaf tissue and hatch in eight days. The larvae feed in colonies from ten to twenty days, depend- ing on the temperature, and the pupal stage lasts from four to six days, there being many generations in a greenhouse. 21 Control. — Fumigate with fresh, standard nicotine papers using about 2 sheets for every 1000 cubic feet of space. Do the work at night in a moist atmosphere and air thoroughly the next morning. Liquid extracts of nicotine as fumigants are used at the rate of 1 ounce of 40 per cent extract to every 1000 cubic feet of space. The material is evaporated over small lamps or stoves and to prevent scorching should be diluted with 2 parts of water to 1 part of the material. The fumigation should be done at night in tightly closed houses. Syringing will keep the insects down slightly. Spraying with nicotine extracts and kerosene emulsion will kill large numbers but many of them feed in concealed places and are not hit. A formula which many rose growers in New Jersey have used dur- ing the past several years, consists of a mixture of Paris green, sugar and water. The horticulturist of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, according to his 1914 report, tried out various mixtures along these lines and found that the application to Ameri- can Beauty Roses of 3 pounds white sugar, from 1 to 2 tablespoon- fuls of Paris green and 12 quarts of water gave no serious burning. The mixture is applied as a spray. Do not use molasses or brown sugar, as injury to foliage may result. All treatments should be re- peated in seven to ten days, sometimes a third one being necessary. Plant Lice Small greenish, brown or black sucking insects found on under side of leaves and around tender shoots. Injury. — Aphids are equipped with sucking mouth parts and their continued drain upon the sap supply weakens and stunts the growth of the plant and disfigures the foliage. Food Plants. — Various species of the plant lice are found in greenhouses, such as Aphis gossypii Glover on cucumber, althaea, Easter Lily, Aphis hederae Kalt on English Ivy, Aphis nerii Fonsc on oleander, Aphis rufomaculata Wils. (green) and Macrosiphum sanborni Gill, (black) on chrysanthemum, Rhopalosiphum, violae Pergande on the violet, Macrosiphum rosae and Myzus rosarum Kalt on the rose and Myzus persicae Sulz. on carnation, asparagus, fern and primula. Life History. — Plant lice have an exceedingly complicated life history. For general purposes it is sufficient only to know that liv- ing young are born the greater part of the year, that winged and wingless females are developed, the former being responsible in the majority of cases for the spread of the species from plant to plant. Reproduction is rapid, each female giving birth to one or two dozen young in a short time. Young shoots, flower buds and the under side of leaves are attacked. Control. — Fumigate with tobacco extracts or papers. Cut blooms first. Make house tight and have atmosphere moist. Number of papers depends on tightness of house. Papers are hung up and lighted. Fumigate at night or on a cloudy day, never in bright sun- light. Syringe the plants thoroughly after fumigation. Two or three applications are sometimes necessary. Spraying with nicotine extracts and soap is also recommended. (See directions for fumi- gation, p. 41.) Mealy Bugs ( Pseudococcus citri & P. longispinus) Fig. 19 — Mealy bugs : at left, Pseudococcus longispinus ; at right, P. citri. (After Comstock.) Scalelike, oval, elongate insects 1/12 to 1/8 of an inch long cov- ered with white mealy powder. Injury. — These insects suck the juices, causing loss of color, fol- lowed by wilting and death of infested parts. Food Plants. — They are found on many greenhouse plants such as the bay tree, palm, rubber plant, coleus, geranium, etc. Life History. — Two species are found in greenhouses, their life history being practically the same. The female lays from 300 to 500 eggs in a mass beneath the tip of the abdomen and covers it with white waxy filaments. Egg laying continues for a week or ten days, twenty to thirty eggs being laid every twenty-four hours. They hatch in two weeks and the larva; resemble the adults except that their bodies are not covered at first with wax. Insects of all sizes can be found on the plant at the same time, mostly on the under side of the leaves, along the ribs and veins and in crevices between the stem and leaves. The males are small winged insects, which are rarely seen. Control . — -Fumigate with tobacco extracts or paper. (See remedy for Aphis.) Dip the infested plants in Aphine at the rate of 1 part to 20 of water. The Kentia Mealy Bug (. Pseudococcus pseudaonipce Ckll.) Fig 20 — Kentia mealy bug, Pseudococcus pseudaonipae Ckll. on under side of palm leaf. (After E. O. Essig.) General Appearance . — This me&ly bug can be distinguished from others by the cream colored wax which is arranged on the body seg- ments in rows of small patches and by the 7-jointed antennae. 24 Food Plants. — This is a serious pest at times on palms of the species Kentia and Cocos. It collects in large masses on the under surface of the leaves, weakening the plant and making it unsightly and unsalable. Control. — Scrub off by hand, using weak soap solutions. The Greenhouse Orthezia ( Orthezia insignis Dough) Fig. 21 — The greenhouse Orthezia on Lantana leaf. Twice natural size. (After W. E. Britton.) General Appearance. — These insects are similar to mealy bugs and crawl about during all stages. Their bodies are covered with plates of a white waxy secretion. There are several generations a year. The eggs are carried in a white egg sac fastened to the body of the female at its posterior end. As the young grow their bodies become covered with wax and when full grown are completely hidden. Food Plants. — Coleus, amaranthus, chrysanthemum, lantana, ver- bena, gardenia, salvia, etc., are all likely to become infested. Control. — See remedy for mealy bugs. 25 The Soft Brown Scale ( Coccus hesperidum Linn.) Fig. 22 — Soft brown scale, Coccus hesperidum Linn., on orange twig. (Af- ter Essig, P. C. Jr. Ent) General Appearance . — This is a flat, oval, soft scale varying from almost colorless to dark brown and sometimes black. When full grown, it is almost of an inch in length. The young are born .alive, moult twice and come to maturity and produce young in about 65 days. . Copious amounts of honey dew are excreted by these scales, and as a result the black fungus which grows on the honey dew is always present. Food Plants , — The bay tree, croton, palm, begonia, cyclamen, fern, 26 citrus plants, calla lily, rose, oleander, camellia and many others are subject to this scale. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. The Black Scale ( Saissetia olecc Bern) General Appearance. — This scale is quite large and convex with a prominent ridge down the middle of the back and two transverse ridges, the three forming a distinct letter H. In color it is a dark brown to almost black. The female lays from 1500 to 2000 eggs over a period of two months. These hatch in fifteen to twenty days and the adult female is full grown in from eight to ten months- The eggs are laid under the body of the female which gradually be- comes hollow until it is simply a hemisphere full of eggs. This scale does not loose the power of locomotion until late in life and it feeds on both leaves and stems. Food Plants. — Recorded food plants are citrus, palm, oleander,, rubber plant, Cycas fevoluta, stag horn fern and others. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. The Hemispherical Scale ( Saissetia hemisphcc rica Targ) Fig. 23 — Hemispherical scale on fern. (After W. E. Britton.) 27 General Appearance.-. — This is easily distinguished from the black scale, by its smooth shiny surface, light brown color and absence of the ridges forming the letter H. From 500 to 1000 eggs are de- posited beneath the body of the female and the young settle along the mid ribs and veins. They remain here for four to six weeks and then migrate to the stems and stay there permanently. Sometimes the insects are found on the edges of the leaves. A full life cycle requires from five to six months. Food Plants. — Fern, croton, citrus plants, palm, orchid, alternan- thera, oleander, abutilon and many others. Control.— See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. The Pineapple Scale { Diaspis bror.icH v Kern. ) Fig. 24 — Pineapple scale, Diaspis br dm elite Kern. (After E. O. Essig.) General Appearance. — The female scale coverings are thin, cir- cular and almost pure white in color, with exuviae yellow. The females burrow into the leaves and become almost hidden. Food Plants . — Pineapple, sago palm, Olea fragrans, canna, etc. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. 28 The Circular Scale ( Chrysomphalus aonidum Linn.) Fig. 25 — Circular scale, Chrysomphalus aonidum on rubber plant. (After W. E. Britton.) General Appearance. — Mature female scale covering is circular, convex, quite large, with a nipple like protuberance in the centre which is grayish and surrounded by a reddish brown ring. Male scale covering is smaller and slightly elongate. Both sexes are dark in color, almost black. Each female lays about 200 eggs. Food Plants. — This scale is common on plants having fleshy leaves, rubber plant, palm, oleander, citrus plants, Ole a fragrans , cycads, panadanus, camellia, etc. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. Morgan's Scale ( Chrysomphalus dictyospermi Marg.) General Appearance. — This is similar to C. aonidum but flatter and lighter in color. Females give birth to living young. Food Plants. — This scale is sometimes quite a serious pest on palms and it occurs also on cycas, latania, etc. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. 29 Cottony Cushion Scale {I eery a purchasi Mask.) Fig. 26 — Cottoiw cushion scale, Icerya purchasi Mask on orange twig. (Cal. Hort. Com.) General Appearance . — The adults are easily recognized by the large, white, fluted cottony masses and red or yellowish bodies rang- ing from *4 to )/? inch long. From 400 to 1000 eggs are concealed in the cottony masses. Food Plants . — All citrus trees, acacia, rose, geranium, verbena and other greenhouse plants are subject to attack. Control . — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. 30 The Fern Scale ( Heniichionaspis aspidistra? Sign.) Fig. 27 — Fern scale, Hemichionaspis aspidistra , female scale greatly en- larged. After j. J. Davis.) Fig. 28 — Fern scale, male scale, greatly enlarged. (After J. J. Davis.) General Appearance. — Female scale covering is somewhat oval, yellowish brown in color and about 1/16 of an inch in length. The white elongate males are more conspicuous and occur in greater numbers. Food Plants. — Commonly found on aspidistra, fern, orchid, and pandanus, etc. On ferns it is usually found on both sides of the leaves at the base of the clump. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. The Greedy Scale ( Aspidiotus rapax C'omst. ) General Appearance. — The female scale covering is very convex, of a grayish white color, sometimes tinged with yellow, due to the showing through of the body of the insect. The exuvia is a dark, almost black spot, surrounded by a white ring and is slightly to one side of the centre. Eggs are laid by the female and the young usu- ally settle in colonies on the trunk and branches. There are several generations a year in a greenhouse. Food Plants. — Laurus, orange, fuchsia, lemon, camellia, fig, sal- via, acacia, ivy. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. 31 The Oleander Scale ( Aspidiotus hederce Vail.) Fig. 29 — White or orleander scale, Aspidiotus hederce on Croton leaf. (Af- ter W. E. Britton.) General Appearance . — This is a common greenhouse species, the covering of the female being circular, nearly white, slightly convex, with a pale orange spot in the centre or slightly to one side. The male scale is white, slightly elongate, with a central light yellow exu- via. The eggs which are light yellow are deposited under the female scale and hatch in a few hours, the young later settling on the leaves and stems. From seventy to eighty days are required for development from egg to adult. Food Plants . — Bay tree, oleander, orchid, citrus plants, cycad, palm, acacia, ivy, cyclamen and many others. Control . — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. The Red or Orange Scale (Chrys omphalus aurantii Mask.) Fig. 30 — Red scale, Chrvsomphalus aurantii Mask, mature females and young. (Bui. 222 Cal. Agr. Exp. Sta.) General Appearance. — This scale is circular and flat, from 1/16 to of an inch in diameter. The scale covering is thin and allows the red body of the female to show through. The male scales are smaller, elongated and of a grayish or dark brown color. Young are born alive and remain under the parent scale for several days. Two and one-half months are necessary before they become mature. Food Plants. — Citrus plants, palm, acacia, fig and others are at- tacked. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, P. 38. The Chaff Scale ( Parlatoria pergandii Comst.) General Appearance. — These are small circular, elongated irregu- lar scales dirty gray in color with the exuvia or cast skin at one end. The male scale is long and narrow. Both the larvae and eggs are purplish in color. The life cycle requires from six weeks to two months. This species is quite prolific, but does not spread rapidly. It is found mainly on the trunk and branches although occasionally on the leaves. Food Plants. — As a rule citrus plants only are attacked. Control. — See Scale Insect Remedies, p. 38. 33 Nematode Gallworms or Eelworms (Heterodera radicle ola Mull.) Fig. 31— Gall worm eggs and young worms just hatched, taken from potato. (Illustration from microphotograph, after F. B. Headley.) The presence of these worms is indicated by galls or swellings on the roots. Fig. 32 — Female of gall worm, Heterodera radicicola, magnified 85 diame- ters. (After N. A. Cobb.) 34 Fig. 33 — Primrose roots badly infested with the gallworm. (After N. A- Cobb.) Fig. 34 — Chrysanthemum, the roots of which are infested with gallworm. (After N. A. Cobb.) Injury . — The first symptoms above ground are a checking of the growth, foliage becoming light green in color, not thrifty. The leaves curl and the plant eventually wilts and dies. Food Plants — Eelworms are distributed everywhere in green- houses. They attack numerous shade, fruit and ornamental trees- and plants. The foliage is sometimes attacked, the infestation show- ing as brownish irregularly circular blotches. Life History . — Eelworms are not insects but microscopic trans- parent and semi-transparent creatures shaped like minute eels and much lower in the animal scale than insects. They are present everywhere in the soil and many forms live on decaying matter. They are less than 1/25 of an inch in length and each female de- posits from 400 to 500 eggs. The worms enter the growing tips of the roots and work in, forming galls or swellings. The small, re- cently hatched worms make their way to the exterior of the roots and seek new roots in the soil. Control . — Employ fresh soil every year. Infested soil can be treated with commercial formaldehyde, 2 parts to 100 parts of water. If frames are shallow 1 Vi gallons is enough for every 35 square yard. Stir the soil after the treatment so that all parts will be disinfected. The excess of formalin should be allowed to escape before plants are set out. It seems probable, however, that soil bacteria might be killed by this method. Steam sterilization is recommended as the best method where possible. The use of carbon bisulphide as against white grubs is suggested. Have clean plants to start with. Eel- worms thrive best in a moist atmosphere. Foliar Eelworms Eelworms or nematodes have been found infesting the leaves of begonia, chrysanthemum, coleus, bouvardia, lantana, salvia, zin- nia, pelargonium, moonflower and fern. Brownish, more or less circular blotches appear on the leaves of infested plants. These gradually enlarge, becoming irregular in outline, until the leaves curl and finally drop off. It is supposed that the eelworms are present in the soil and probably crawl up the stems of plants when the latter are small and at a time when the stems are moist. Another theory is that they are splashed upon the plants during syringing. Preventive measures can only be suggested, such as steam sterilization of the soil and the use of clean plants to begin with. The Carnation Bud-Rot and the Mite Accompanying It Early in the fall carnation buds may become deformed and fail to open. If on cutting them open a decayed interior is found, together with several glistening egg-like bodies, then the trouble is due to a mite ( Pediculopsis graminum Reuter) and the carna- tion bud-rot. The egg-like globules are female mites with greatly distended bodies. The rot is caused by a species of fungus Sporo- trichum poae , which also causes the silver top of June grass, and the mite has been found accompanying the disease in both cases. It appears that the mites bearing the disease spores are carried into the house during the summer in the soil and enter the im- mature flower buds as soon as they appear. The spores there- fore find a favorable place in which to develop, and decay finally sets in. The trouble usually starts early in the fall and the injury becomes abundant the latter part of October or first of November. Lawson is the most commonly affected variety. Pink and red varieties are only slightly infested. Where the blossoms 36 are regularly picked, the injury disappears by January. Treatment consists in promptly picking and burning all infested buds. White Grubs Fig. 35 — May beetle: 1, pupa in earthen cell; 2, larva or white grub; 3, 4, beetle, from side and above. These larvae of May beetles or “June Bugs” are sometimes in- troduced into greenhouses in the soil taken from composted sod piles, and are capable of doing considerable damage by feeding on the roots of various plants. Before introducing manure and compost into the house, it is well to examine the material for these larvae. If they are present, they can be readily killed after the soil is in the benches and before anything has been planted by treatment with carbon bisulphide. This consists in punching holes in the soil with a stick and introducing into each 1 ounce of carbon bisulphide, which amount is sufficient for 1 square foot. Just before treatment, which should be given at a temperature of about 70° F, the soil should be wetted thoroughly. Before planting, the soil should be turned over and allowed to aerate. Caution. — All lights and fires should be kept away while carbon bisulphide is being used. Sow Bugs ( Crustacea ) Dark gray , oval flat-bodied creatures, moving rapidly when ex- posed to light. 37 Injury. — These have been known to feed on roots and tender portions of plants, such as fronds of ferns. Life History. — These creatures are commonly found under de- caying boards, rotten bark and other dark situations where decay is taking place. They are not insects but land crustaceans. Control. — Trap by means of little heaps of wet grass or leaves or pieces of damp bark. Examine in the morning and destroy those found. The Florist’s Review gives the following remedy — “Mix 2 parts of rye flour, 2 parts of sugar and 1 part of Paris green. Scatter mixture along top of edge board of greenhouse bed or on narrow board laths across the soil in the frame or hotbed. The board must be dry or the mixture will become too lumpy for the sow bugs to eat. Mix only enough to use at one time, as it cakes and deteriorates after standing.” A liberal use of tobacco dust will also undoubtedly discourage them. Slugs and Snails {Mollusc a) Slimy, dark, often spotted or striped creatures from of an inch to 3 or 4 inches long. Injury. — The injury consists in a destruction of the foliage. Food. — Various greenhouse plants are attacked by these crea- tures. Life History. — Cellar slugs, field slugs, garden slugs and snails are usually classed together by the florist as snails or slugs. Their bodies are covered with a slimy secretion which sticks to whatever they crawl over, leaving a glistening trail behind. Control. — Camphor balls scattered about are said to be effective. Tobacco dust, ashes, soot, etc., if scattered about the pots so that the slugs will be compelled to cross them to get to the plants will act as barriers, or coming in contact with their slimy bodies, will kill them. Millipedes ( Myriopoda ) IVorm-like, hard-shelled creatures having 2 pairs of legs on each segment except the first three. Injury. — They occasionally attack roots and stems of various plants. 38 Food Plants. — Normally they feed on decaying vegetable matter. Life History. — They are usually found in damp places such as under flower pots, etc. Control. — Manure containing a large amount of decaying vege- table matter usually contains millipedes. Soot will discourage them. Pieces of potato dipped in Paris green and covered over night with a cabbage leaf is also recommended. Centipedes (Myriapod a) Rapidly moving creatures, flat, hard, elongate bodies ; each seg- ment bears a single pair of legs. Injury. — These are not injurious to greenhouse plants. Food plants. — They are predaceous and feed on insects. Life History. — They usually live under stones, logs, bark and under pots in greenhouses. Control. — Not necessary. Scale Insect Remedies Many scale insects are more or less permanently established in some greenhouses and are a constant source of annoyance and expense. Practically all of them are difficult to control success- fully, and most of the insecticides recommended for greenhouse use against the scale insects are ineffective. Many of them will kill scale larvae, but here their usefulness ends. Other have been recommended on the strength of too little experimentation, usually of a meagre kind, which neglected to recognize the part played by atmospheric conditions and other variable factors which affect the results. This is especially true of many fumigation ex- periments, which have been conducted in a small box with a few plants and the results given out as regular prescribed remedies. As a result of this condition, the most effective work in combating scale insects in greenhouses is done when the plants are overhauled and repotted. At this time badly infested plants are destroyed, and many scales gotten rid of by scrubbing the leaves. In other words, laborious hand methods are still the fashion in many green- houses, not from choice but from necessity. The changing popu- lation of some houses by selling and replenishing often aids the greenhouse man considerably, as in this way an infestation often has not a chance to become serious. Spraying or dipping with 39 whale oil soap or tobacco extracts or a combination of both is effec- tive in killing recently set scales and scale larvae, but ineffective against the adult scales. Inasmuch as it is often impossible to spray many greenhouse plants thoroughly, dipping is to be pre- ferred. However, this method has disadvantages, such as the length of time required and the impossibility of killing those insects in cracks and crevices, protected by layers of air which prevent the solution from reaching them. Syringing with clear water undoubt- edly washes many larvae from the plants onto the bench, where they eventually die, and also dislodges many of the larger soft scales. However, where the pressure is weak the syringing is by no means very effective against insects. Precautionary measures also' should be considered. This means that scale-infested plants should not be introduced into a house free of them. If it is necessary to buy such infested plants, scrub them clean before placing them on the benches. The writer is aware of the successful use of hydrocyanic acid gas in California against certain scales which infest citrus plants, but it would be hardly suitable to advise the use of this gas against the same scales in greenhouses until it has been tried. Greenhouse Fumigation Inasmuch as greenhouses differ considerably in tightness and con- struction, and as past experimentors have in many cases failed to note moisture and temperature conditions, the subject of greenhouse fumigation is in a somewhat unsettled state, and such a condition will continue to prevail until some one makes a serious and long- continued study of the subject, taking into consideration all factors which have a bearing on the result. Concerning the amount of potassium cyanide to use against the white fly, A. W. Morrill, in Circular 57 of the Bureau of Ento- mology, U. S. Department of Agriculture, states that between 1/5 and 1 /6 of an ounce per 1000 cubic feet of space for 3 hours’ exposure has been used with success, also that 1/3 of an ounce per 1000 cubic feet of space used for more than 30 minutes destroyed only the adults and slightly injured the plants (tomato and cucumber), and that in one instance 1 ounce per 1000 cubic feet of space gave good results in an all-night exposure. He also states that probably of an ounce of cyanide for each 1000 cubic feet for an exposure not exceeding 3 hours represents the amount which will prove most 40 effective for treatment without injury to tomato or cucumber. R. D. Whitemarsh, in Circular 154 of the Ohio Agricultural Experi- ment Station, states that in general the amount of cyanide neces- sary for white fly work varies from 1/5 to 1/6 of an ounce per 1000 cubic feet for 3 hours to 1 ounce per 1000 cubic feet lasting overnight, depending on the construction of the greenhouse. He further states that it is well to have the temperature as low as 55 if possible for best results, and that the fumigation should be repeated in 2 weeks. Mr. J. J. Davis, in the 27th Report of the State Entomologist of Illinois, advises for white fly in moderately tight houses, 1 ounce of cyanide to 3500 cubic feet of space for an all-night exposure, the operation to be repeated 3 or 4 times at intervals of 10 days to 2 weeks. In his general fumigation direc- tions he advises that if possible a temperature above 60° to 65° F should be avoided, since at a higher one the plants are more liable to be injured. A. B. Gahan, in Bulletin 119 of the Maryland Agricultural Ex- periment Station, states that in houses containing a number of dif- ferent kinds of plants he would recommend the use of not more than J4 of an ounce of cyanide for each 1000 cubic feet of space. This charge, he says, will be sure to kill thrips, aphids and white fly if left in a closed house over night, the following plants being un- injured by such an exposure — -violet, primula, chrysanthemum, be- gonia, nasturtium, alternanthera, lantana, verbena, orchid, snap- dragon, asparagus fern, sweet pea, coriopsis, mignonette, carnation, croton, cyclamen, Easter lily, geranium, rose, cucumber and lettuce. He further states that a long exposure to a moderate amount of gas is less likely to cause injury to most plants than a short ex- posure to a heavy charge. Our experience in New Jersey with white fly on tomatoes leads us to advise for a modern tight greenhouse of an ounce to 1000' cubic feet of space for an exposure of 20 or 25 minutes, having the temperature from 60° to 70° F, and the humidity 70 per cent. Prof. M. A. Blake, in the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station Report for 1913, tells of the successful results obtained against the rose aphis in a tight, well-glazed greenhouse, using y of an ounce of cyanide to 1000 cubic feet for an exposure of 16 minutes with the temperature above 65° F, and where moisture con- ditions were normal for a rose , house. From a series of tests conducted at the New Jersey Stations, he remarks that fumigations 41 against the rose aphis are not likely to be successful where the temperature of the house is 60° F or below, inasmuch as meta- bolism in insects is largely determined by temperature, and when this is low the insects resist the effects of the cyanide. The ten- derness of the plants should also be considered. The more tender and soft the growth the more likely injury will follow the use of cyanide. W. J. Schoene, in Technical Bulletin No. 30 of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, in a series of fumigation tests with brown-tail moth caterpillar, found that a greater number of caterpillars survived the fumigations made at a low temperature than at a higher temperature, also that fumigations made under humid conditions were more destructive to the larvae than tests conducted in dry air. He suggests that the difference in the results and the resistance of the larvae to fumigation were due largely to the conditions incidental to hibernation, such as the reduced moist- ure content and comparative inactivity of the larvae. Taking into consideration the work of Mr. Schoene and our own experience in fumigation, we cannot at present help but be advo- cates of heavy charges of cyanide and short exposure. However, as has been stated before, the entire subject needs a thorough investigation from all angles. Directions for Fumigating with Hydrocyanic Acid Gas Fumigate only at night. Have the foliage of the plants dry. The materials used in the generation of the gas are 98 per cent, potassium cyanide, commercial sulphuric acid and water. For every ounce of cyanide use 2 fluid ounces of sulphuric acid and 4 fluid ounces of water. 1st — Determine accurately the number of cubic feet of space in the greenhouse to be fumigated. 2nd — Find out the total amounts of cyanide and sulphuric acid necessary, and divide these into parts or charges representing each 25 feet of length of the greenhouse. 3rd— Weigh out the desired amounts of pulverized cyanide for •each charge and wrap each in a single thickness of cheesecloth or place in a thin paper bag. 4th — Measure out the necessary amounts of sulphuric acid and water and place in glazed earthenware dishes or glass receptacles (do not use metal). Pour the water in first and add the acid 42 slowly, mixing with a glass rod or stick. The container should never be more than 34 full of acid and water, because the action which follows the introducttion of the cyanide will result in much of the material being splashed out. Ordinary glass tumblers o-r bowls, 6 or 8 inches high, about 3 or 4 inches wide, are often suitable. 5th — Make the house as tight as possible by closing all ventilators and stopping up all cracks. 6th — Distribute the bowls containing the acid and water at the desired distance apart and place beside each the bag of cyanide. 7th — Commence at the far end of the greenhouse and work toward the exit, dropping each bag of cyanide gently into the bowk If a number of charges are necessary, two or more operators will- need to work together. After the last bag has been disposed of, leave the greenhouse immediately and close and lock the door. 8th — After the fumigation has gone on the desired length of time, thoroughly air the house for at least 34 an hour before entering. 9th — Take out the containers, keeping face averted so as not to breathe the odor which comes from them, and bury the contents- in the ground. 10th — Wash out the containers with clear water and use for m> other purpose. As soon as the cyanide comes in contact with the acid and water the gas starts to come off, and by using many con- tainers or generators a quicker distribution of the gas is assured. Caution . — Potassium cyanide is a deadly poison when taken in- ternally, and the gas generated by the addition of cyanide to sul- phuric acid is also a deadly poison when inhaled. As a result, one should use extreme care in handling these materials. With proper precautions and care there is no danger. No matter how familiar one is with fumigation, it will not pay to become careless. ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS, FERTILIZER SUPPLIES AND HOME MIXTURES. t > .

NEW JERSEY AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS BULLETIN NO. 297 September 16, 1916 Analyses of Commercial Fertilizers, Fertilizer Sup- plies and Home Mixtures By Charles S. Cathcart, State Chemist* A portion of the brands of fertilizers that were collected during the season of 1916 has been examined, and the results obtained are herewith reported. The analyses of the remaining brands and a discussion of the entire inspection will be given in a later bulletin. The results that are tabulated on the following pages show the composition of 408 brands of mixed fertilizers, 188 samples of fer- tilizer materials and 13 home mixtures. In addition to the above the analyses of 26 duplicate samples of mixed fertilizers are included. The total number of analyses reported in this bulletin is 635. Valuations The usual conference of the directors and chemists of the experi- ment stations of the New England States and New Jersey was held. The question of valuations for the present year was carefully con- sidered. It was the unanimous opinion that, on account of the great fluctuations in the prices of the various materials used, no schedule could be prepared which would fairly represent the charges to be made during the season. On account of this condition no valuations have been computed either for the fertilizer materials or for the mixed fertilizers. Examinations of Unmixed Fertilizer Materials The samples of fertilizer materials that are herewith reported represent the various classes of materials that are usually offered for sale, with the exception of the ground bones which will be re- ported in a later bulletin. Nitrate of Soda. Thirty-two samples of nitrate of soda were ex- *The analyses were made by Ralph L. Willis, Frank O. Fitts, Louis J, Kleinfeld, D. James Kay and Archie C. Wark. 4 amined, and the results obtained, omitting samples Nos. 16605 and 16976, varied from 14.68 to 15.64 per cent nitrogen, with an aver- age of 15.30 per cent. This average is equivalent to 92.9 per cent of nitrate of soda. The shipments represented by samples Nos. 16605 and 16976 were not accompanied by the required guarantee, and it will be noted that the nitrogen content was 11.59 and 11.18 per cent, respectively. Sulphate of Ammonia. - Six samples were received and the re- sults obtained varied from 19.88 to 20.63 per cent of nitrogen, the average being 20.32 per cent. Dried Blood. Seven samples were examined and the results, omitting sample No. 16329, varied from 10.49 to 13.94 per cent in nitrogen and from 0.30 to 5.24 per cent in phosphoric acid. The averages are 12.33 per cent of nitrogen and 1.7 per cent of phos- phoric acid. Sample No. 16329 is omitted from the averages on ac- count of the deficiency in the nitrogen content. Dried and Ground Fish. The results of the examination of the 20 samples show the variations usually found with this class of ma- terial. The nitrogen content varied from 5.43 to 9.35, with an aver- age of 8.02 per cent. The phosphoric acid content varied from 1.09 to 10.01, with an average of 6.00 per cent. Crude Fish. The average analysis of the four samples is : nitro- gen, 3.52 per cent, and phosphoric acid, 6.91 per cent. Tankage. Fifty-six samples were examined, one of which, sam- ple No. 160054, is not included in the averages. The nitrogen con- tent of the 55 samples varied from 4.02 to 8.90, with an average of 6.11 per cent. The phosphoric acid varied from 1.56 to 17.89, with an average of 9.96 per cent. The mechanical condition was as vari- able as the content of nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Seventy per cent of the finest sample was finer than 1/50 inch, while only 12 per cent of the coarsest sample would pass through a sieve of the same size. Acid Phosphate. Fifty-six samples of acid phosphate were ex- amined, of which 22 were guaranteed 16 per cent, 31 were guaran- teed 14 per cent, one was guaranteed 15 per cent and two were guaranteed 12 per cent. The average samples of the various grades fully satisfied the guarantees given with the exception of the 12 per cent grade. Basic Lime Phosphate. Two samples were examined, one of which was 1.72 per cent deficient in available phosphoric acid while the second sample satisfied the guarantee. NITRATE OF SODA. Nitrogen. Station Number.

In order that there may be a clear understanding as to the changes referred to above, a few words of explanation may not be out of place. The organic nitrogen content of a fertilizer is reported un- der two headings : “soluble organic” and “insoluble organic/’ The figures given under the heading “soluble organic” show the amount of organic nitrogen that is soluble in water, and the figures under the heading “insoluble organic’’ show the amount that is not soluble in water. If the examination has shown the insoluble nitrogen to be derived from good materials, no additional statement is made ; but if the examination has shown it to be derived from materials of an inferior grade, the result is given an appropriate figure which re- fers to a note at the bottom of the page. This reference gives a statement of the quality of the insoluble nitrogen and also gives the percentage of activity as found by the “alkaline permanganate” method. By this change it is hoped that every one who desires to be in- formed about his fertilizer can find the information in an available form. 16 COMPLETE FERTILIZERS Furnishing Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash.

The necessity for study on diseases of tomatoes and eggplants is very urgent. Inspection Work The inspection work under the direction of the State Department of Agriculture has been very satisfactory. The most important development in this line of work has been the finding of the blister rust of the white pine in New Jersey. It would now appear that the situation is well in hand, but the conditions in other states lead the writer to believe that the white pine will be wiped out in the same manner as the chestnut forests. The Experiment Station Library The Experiment Station Library is conducted as a branch of the Rutgers College Library. There are now approximately 5,000 bound volumes in the library, and a large amount of unbound material in the form of bulletins, circulars and reports of the various experiment stations and of the United States Department of Agriculture, as well as the leading scientific journals relating to agriculture, current farm papers and periodicals, newspapers of the State and various other publications. An effort is made to keep two complete files of the publications of the state experiment stations, the state departments of agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture. Considerable time has been spent in an effort to secure missing numbers to complete the files up to date 42 preparatory to having the various series bound. About 300 vol- umes of these bulletins, circulars and reports have been bound dur- ing the past year. At present there is an equivalent of about 500 volumes of unbound material of this class alone awaiting com- pletion before sending to the binders. Acknowledgement is due the directors and librarians of the different experiment stations who have so readily cooperated in furnishing publications which were missing from the files. Also, a large number, of unbound publications which were needed to complete some sets were pre- sented to the Library by Dr. Jacob G. Lipman, Dr. Byron D. Hal- sted, Mr. James Neilson and the late Dr. Julius Nelson. The State Department of Agriculture contributed over 100 bound volumes of various reports and some valuable unbound bulletins. An effort has been made to complete the various sets of live stock record books; and, through the courtesy of the different record associations, a number of sets have been completed to date and others added to materially. A new card index of the publi- cations of the United States Department of Agriculture was purchased. Considerable unbound material was moved from the College Library and is being arranged for use. The library records show that approximately 800 volumes and unbound publications were loaned during the year. About 75 volumes Avere borrowed from the Library of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Library of Congress, Wash- ington, D. C., for the use of the experiment station workers. The library is now badly overcrowded and more space is needed. Also, before the library can be put upon an efficient working basis, much work needs to be done in completing sets, binding and cataloging. This cannot be done without the expenditure of more funds for purchasing missing publications, for binding and for the employment of additional clerical help. 43 Publications Aside from bulletins, circulars and other publications of the Station, members of the staff prepared technical and popular papers for agricultural journals and magazines. The following list is complete as to the Station publications proper, but incomplete as to papers published elsewhere. Bulletins 287.

Dr. Nelson served for many years as Biologist of the Station, and in this capacity carried on important research. The results of his" investigations form a distinct addition to our knowledge of oyster propagation and oyster culture. His loss is keenly felt by his associates. Mr. D. Manley Jobbins, in charge of the greenhouses of the Sta- tion since September 1, 1908, died suddenly on November 9, 1916. Mr. Jobbins was an unusually faithful and efficient employee. His loyalty and service were highly prized and his untimely death is regretted by all who knew him.

SALINITY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN SPECIES OF MOSQUITO LARVAE AND ITS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF SPECIESl By F. E. Chidester, Ph. D. Introduction In the course of an extensive study of the activity of the killi- fishes of the New Jersey coast, it was deemed desirable to obtain records of the salinity, specific gravity and temperature of the water from which each collection was made. In the course of such record taking it was noted that considerable differences in salinity existed in pools which contained mosquito larvae. On April 18, 1915, two series of experimental jars were set up in one of the laboratories of the Entomology Building. The first series consisted of 11 jars. The series began with 100 c. c. of sea water from the Raritan Bay, with a salinity of 13 per cent and ran down by steps of 10-c. c. dilution with distilled water to pure distilled water in the eleventh jar. The object of this experiment was to determine what changes would take place in the larvae of salt-marsh mosquitoes taken from pools with a degree of salinity of about 7 or 8 per cent and forced to develop in water of a low salinity. The intention was also to subject Culex pipiens Linn, to a saline medium and to try to change it into a salt-water species. The second series was composed of boiled down sea water, graduated in series by eight steps from 16 to 35 per cent salinity. In this experiment the object .was to determine what was the minimum toxic strength of salinity for the species used. The two series were supplemented by controls and bv two jars of a 50-50 mixture of 13 per cent sea water and distilled water, placed at two different temperatures, one kept low by running water (53°F.) the other placed in the greenhouse where the temperature ran up to 75°F. at times. The jars were covered with cheese cloth after having been supplied with 5 second-moult and 10 first-moult larvie of the mosquito Aedes cantator Coq. In the preparation of these experiments the writer was aided by Mr. Ray- mond S. Patterson, who not only determined the species, but aided in preparing the jars of solution. In the series running down from 13 per cent it was noted that 1. Contribution from the entomological laboratory; Thomas J. Headlee, Ph. D., Entomologist. 4 the larvae died rather quickly in the distilled water and in the higher percentages. In the series graduated from 16 per cent up to 35 per cent salt, all larvae died in the 22 per cent jar in two days. Just as the records of these preliminary experiments were being considered and plans were being made for a more extensive series, the writer was invited by Mr. Patterson to go on a collecting trip to Port Monmouth. On this trip Mr. Patterson and the writer took salini- ties of many pools, including some which contained no larvae. Two pools in particular engaged our attention. One with a temperature of 64° F. and a salinity of 22 per cent contained larvae of the species Aedes sollicitans Wlk. of the second moult; the other pool not ten feet away and similar in size, depth and character of bottom, with a temperature of 67° F. and a salinity of 24 per cent contained no larvae at all. As there was no evidence of the presence of larvae of any sort or of efficient natural enemies in the second pool, the ob- servation seemed important, particularly in the light of the pre- liminary experiments performed in the laboratory. Accordingly, Mr. Patterson and the writer decided to carry on a large series of ex- periments to discover the effects of high salinity on the viability of mosquito larvae at different stages. Mr. Patterson was shortly forced to discontinue his work with the writer, hut has aided substantially by furnishing larvae and field notes as well as by advice and infor- mation. On receiving the report of these findings, Dr. T. J. ITeadlee. entomologist of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, immediately saw the possible bearing on species distribution and the problem of mosquito extermination and arranged to have his inspec- tors secure temperature and salinity records of the distribution of the mosquito larvae throughout the state. Material and Methods Tn conducting the experimental work it was found desirable to confine the work largely to the two dominant species of salt-marsh mosquitoes, Aedes sollicitans Wlk. and Aedcs cantator Coq. Several experiments were performed with other species, including Culex sal- inarius Coq., Aedes sylvestris Theob., and Culex pipiens Linn. As material was brought into the laboratory, the field records of temperature, salinity and condition of the pools were tabulated by Mr. F. E. Mehrhof. Species were determined usually by an assistant in the entomological laboratory, Mr. W. TT. W. Komp. The larvae of different species were separated according to age and species and placed in jars of salt water of the proper salinity to agree most nearly with their source. To the salt-water jars were usually added small quantities of the original water, in order to keep up the faunal and floral food supply. The jars were covered with cheese cloth to keep out dirt and to prevent the escape of adult mosquitoes. For experimental purposes, jars 3 3/4 inches in diameter and 5 6 3/4 inches in height were chosen. In each of these was placed 200 c. c. of the solution to be used. In the case of the various short series of salt water used as preliminary and as final checks on the experi- ments the graduations were from 4 per cent salintiy to 35 per cent or 40 per cent salinity by rather widely separated steps. Other short series ran from 4 per cent salinity to 13 per cent or 14 per cent salinity. In the long series which was run for all the species of larvae at least once, and for certain of them at least twice, 22 jars were used. The first 21 jars contained 200 c. c. of water graduated from c. c. of the stock solution of 40 per cent salinity, by 10-c. c. differences down to the stock solution of 200 c. c. of distilled water, redistilled through a glass condenser. The 22nd jar contained 200 c. c. of control water, usually from the original solution, always from the jar in which the larvae were flourishing when the experiment was begun. In the long series the salinities varied between 2 and 3 per cent in difference of salinity from the 40 per cent down to the distilled water. The salinities were tested at the beginning of the experiment and at the end. Although the complete records are not shown on the graphs to follow, records were taken of the jars long after anything but the factor of starvation could be considered as potent. The jars were covered with pieces of cheese cloth, bound tightly to their necks by rubber bands. As daily records were taken. ; a long glass rod was used to rap on the side of the jar or even to poke the larvae slightly to determine their state of health. Dead larvae and pupae were not removed from the jars but living adults were identified and allowed to escape into cyanide jars. In some of the preliminary and check experiments, as few as 10 larvae to each jar were used; in the long series and in many of the short ones, either 20 or 25 larvae were placed in each jar. In the work of examining the jars and making daily counts, too much credit cannot be given to Mr. F. E. Mehrhof who recorded faithfully every point called for and added much to the success of the experiments by the precision and extent of his records. Although his records were repeatedly checked by the writer, no single error was detected. The laboratory used for the experiments was a basement room in the building occupied by the various departments of animal and plant biology of Rutgers College. The room was available through the generosity of Dr. Julius Nelson, biologist of the State of New Jersey, to whom many thanks are due for the loan of apparatus and chemicals. Experimental Evidence In attacking the problem of the effects of salinity on the viability of the various species of mosquito larvae, it was found desirable to study not only the effects of various concentrations of sea water, but also to study the effects of the pure salts found normally in sea water, including chiefly — CaCl 2 , MgS0 4 , KC1 and NaCl. It was 6 also deemed wise to run experiments to determine the reason why the water of cedar swamps does not breed either Culex pipiens Liinn. or the salt-marsh mosquitoes. Effects of Sea Water In this experiment jars were prepared containing 200 c. c. each of distilled water and water ranging in salinity from 4 per cent to 12 per cent by steps of, 2 per cent. Ten egg boats of 0. pipiens were placed in each jar and daily records of the number hatched and the number dead were taken. FIG. 1. — Graph showing larvae hatched from 60 egg boats of Culex piptens Linn, in 22 hours. Ordinate gives number hatched; abscissa gives salinity of water. At a salinity of 4 per cent, the maximum number of larvae (300) were hatched. At the end of 72 hours there were 400 larvae hatched in the 4 per cent jar but %11 were dead. With so few egg boats in each jar (10) it is probable that the difference between the number hatched in the jars is of little significance. When we consider the viability of the larvae hatched, the salinity is seen to have a direct bearing on the case. Here also the number of first moult larvae is worthy of statistical examination. The records of hatched larvae show that in distilled water only 60 larvae hatched, but 12 of these were alive at the end of the seventh day; in 4 per cent salinity 400 larvae hatched, but all were dead on the third day; in 6 per cent salinity 150 larvae hatched and of these there were 3 alive at the end of the seventh dajr; in 8 per cent salinity 225 larvae hatched, and there were 6 alive at the end of the seventh day; in 10 per cent and 12 per cent salinities all the larvae (over 100) were dead at the end of the first day. It is evident from these experiments that even if some of the larvae of C. pipiens do hatch in salt water, few of them are able to withstand the toxic action of the salt. The writer hopes, however to show by experiments that C. salinarius and C. pipiens are really the same species, and that in nature when the salinity of the water is gradually increased by evaporation, even C. pipiens may become ac- climatized. In discussing the eggs of mosquitoes, Howard, Dyar and Knab (3) mention the work of certain French investigators in which it was shown that the eggs of A. calopus would not hatch in pure sea water but would hatch in a mixture of 30 to 35 per cent sea water with fresh water. The larvae hatched and developed into imagoes. In a mixture of 40 per cent sea water the larvae did not develop. Although the salinity of the sea water is not given, it is not likely that it exceeded 20 per cent. Comparing the investigation with my own experiments, it is evident that the actual salinity of the 40 per cent mixture could not exceed the 10 per cent of my series. In a short series including jars ranging from control and dis- tilled water to 13 per cent salinity, 10 first-mo ult larvae of C. pipiens were placed in each jar. Fig. 2. — Graph showing first- moult larvae of C. pipiens at the end of 16 hours. The accompanying graph shows the death curve at the end of 16 hours. The death curve begins at 8 per cent and runs up sharply to 10 per cent where all the larvae are dead. In the lowest salinity, 4 per cent, and in both distilled water and control jars the larvae were all alive at the end of 5 days. In collecting larvae it was noted that at times the young first-moult larvae of several salt-marsh species appeared in the same pools. One such collection furnished material for a long series with 25 larvae in each jar and with 31 jars ranging in salinity from 4 per cent to 40 per cent. FIG. 3. — Graph showing long series of 25 first-moult larvae of A. soilin'- tans, A cantator and A. Sylvestris , af ter 21 hours. On the conclusion of the experiment, count was made to deter- mine the number of each species represented in the experiment. Of me number of larvae which were identifiable, there were 219 A. cantator, 118 A. sylvesiris and 59 A. sollicitans. Examination of the graph (fig. 3) shows that at the end of 21 hours one larva was still living in the jar containing an 18 1/2 per cent solution of sea water, but in the jar containing an 18 per cent solution and in all others above that percentage, all larvae were dead. At 16 per cent, 14 of the 25 larvae were dead. The control showed no deaths at the end of 5 days. The majority of the work done by the writer on mosquito larvae was carried on with larvae of the second moult. Long and short series were run with second-moult larvae of the species A. sollicitans , A. cantator, A. sylvestris and C. pipiens. For convenience in examination of the graphs, three of the long series including A. sollicitans, A. cantator and C. pipiens have been grouped in figure 4. FIG. 4. — Graphs representing long series showing the effects of concen- trated sea water on the viability of three species of mosquito larvae. 9 A. sollicitans In this graph which shows the larvae killed at the end of 26 hours, it will be noted that in the low salinities there is considerable mortality, but that the sharp ascent of the death curve begins at about 21 per cent and runs to 28 per cent where all the larvae are killed. The control and distilled water jars showed no deaths at the end of the period of 26 hours. After two or three days cannibalism becomes notable in experiments in which the food supply is not kept The larvae of the second moult of A. sollicitans were killed by a salinity of 32 per cent in less than 18 hours and by a salinity of 24 per cent in less than 30 hours. At the end of 44 hours in all series run, it was found that A. sollicitans larvae were killed in a salin- ity of 21 per cent. While the higher salinities are so toxic for A. sollicitans , it must be noted that the larvae do not develop so rapidly in water of a salinity below 6 per cent. In considering this, we must give due weight to the question of starvation in the experimental jars. It is very certain that the larvae of A. sollicitans are occasionally found in water of a salinity as low as 6 or 7 per cent in company with the larvae of A. cantator. It has been noted by Graham (1) and others that when common salt is added to jars containing larvae with a plentiful food supply, in the jars with low salinity the larvae are retarded in their de- velopment, apparently as a result of starvation with the food destroy- ed, but the development of the full-grown larvae is apparently hastened by the hypertonic solution. In this paper it is impracticable to attempt to bring together the evidence of the author on the effects of hypertonic solutions on rate of development in mosquito larvae. It is hoped, however, that the material already recorded may be supplemented by further work and the whole placed on record at an early date. Aedes cantator Coq. In the graph under consideration the death curve is shown at the end of 24 hours. The larvae were all killed in the 24 per cent salinity and above, at the end of the 24 hours, and it will be noted that there were many deaths in the lower salinities. The curve ascends gradually from 8 per cent to 15 per cent, where it rapidly rises to record 18 dead larvae at 17 per cent salinity. Found normally in water of a salinity from 4 per cent to 6 per cent lower than that favoring the development of A. sollicitans, we would naturally expect to learn that the larvae of A. cantator are more susceptible to the higher concentrations of sea water. In less than 12 hours the majority of the larvae of the second moult are dead in solutions above 14 per cent, while all are killed at 24 per cent and above even in so short a time. Culex pipiens Linn. In this graph which shows the deaths at the end of 18 hours 10 in a long series of larvae of the second moult of C. pipiens , the larvae are shown to be killed by a very low per cent. The curve begins at about 4 per cent and runs sharply up to 10 per cent, where 24 of the 25 larvae are dead. Above 10 per cent all the larvae were killed. In the control and distilled water jars the larvae survived over a week without food, except that the distilled water jar showed a loss of two larvae from cannibalistic brethren. At the end of 41 hours in this series, the death curve runs sharply up from 4, per cent to 8 percent salinity where all larvae are dead. The graph for deaths of Aedes sylvestris Theob. will not be pre- sented. This series was a single long series with 25 larvae in each jar and was not repeated, neither was it checked, as were the others, by several short series. At the end of 47 hours all larvae of the second moult of A. sylvestris were dead in solutions beginning with 8 per cent salinity. The death curve runs rapidly from 4 per cent to 8 per cent salinity. Culex salinarius Coq. which is a salt-marsh mosquito almost identical with C. pipiens lives in comparatively fresh water and ex- periments showed that even the second moult larvae succumb when placed in water with a salinity of 8 per cent or higher. Although many records were taken by the writer and others of the optimum salinities for the larvae of the third moult in nature, but one long series is worthy of record. FIG. 5. — Graphs representing larvae of the third moult of the species A. sollicitans, A. cantator and A. sylvestris as effected by the salinity of the water. At the end of the period of 18 hours indicated in figure 5, the death curve rises rapidly from 8 per cent to 14 per cent, above which all larvae are dead. At the end of 23 hours, all larvae were killed in the jars with a per cent of 8 or more of salts. Many workers on the mosquito problem have recorded the oc- currence of larvae in water of a rather high content of salts. Some few investigators have studied the effects of common salt on the development of the fresh-water forms. Drawing rather largely on 11 the literature reviewed by Howard, Dyar and Knab (3), we find that certain species of larvae breed in Algeria in water- with 40 gin. of salt to the liter. The Brazilian investigators (quoting Howard, Dyar and Knab) found that larvae of A. calopus died in one day in water which con- tained a 30 per cent mixture of sea water. In water consisting of a 20 per cent mixture of sea water with fresh, the larvae failed to pupate and died after 3 days. The higher salinities prolonged the larval periods in cases where the toxic effect was not so great. While experiments have been performed to determine the toxicity of salts on mosquito larvae there is no record of a study which con- siders the relation of salinity to distribution nor which shows the variable toxicity to be dependent on the species as well as the salinity of the pools from which larvae were taken. The following table shows, the resistance of the mosquito larvae and the per cent salinities of the source pools. Toxicity of Diluted Sea Water Sp. Source Majority dead in 24 A. soil. 8-14% 20-26% A. can. 4-9% 14-16% A. syl. 3-6% 7-10% C, sal. 4-6% 9-12% C. pip. Mixture. A. soil. 59] 0-2% 6-10% A. can. A. syl. 219 i 118 | 8% 10-18% Two -series of experiments were run. with pupae of A. sollicitans and A. pipiens, respectively. The results obtained from the use of a long series of 31 jars each indicate that even a 4-0 per cent solution of sea water is not strong enough to kill a pupa, nor to prevent it from emerging in a normal manner. A few pupae were killed in some of the jars but the majority developed into adults. Field observations by the writer show that in large shallow salt pools which present a considerable area to the rays of the sun and in which evaporation goes on rapidly, mosquito larvae may become grad- ually acclimatized as the salinity increases and may actually thrive in a salinity of over 20 per cent. In connection with these records it is interesting to note similar observations made by the Brazilian investigators and reviewed by Howard, Dyar and Knab (3). The Brazilian workers found that the pupae of A. calopus produced ima- goes when placed in pure sea water. Toxicity of Pure Salts of Sea Water In order to determine the relative toxicities of the salts of sea water, experiments were run first with molecular and 1/2 molecular solutions of each salt, then with series ranging from 1/8 molecular to molecular. The graphs shown in figure 6 indicate the effects of 12 five pure salts on A. sollicitans and A. cantator larvae of the second moult. cacl 2 ® j I 3 i s’ a 7 , B 4 t 2 B 4 a 1 FIG. 6. — Graphs showing the toxic effect of pure salts on mosquito larvae. In the graphs shown in figure 6, A. sollicitans occupies the left side and A. cantator the right side. The period of time which elapsed averages a little over 17 hours. Examining the record for A. sollicitans, we note that CaCl'a is apparently the most toxic salt, with MgClg next and KC1 third. It 13 0 is also interesting to note that MgS0 4 is a little more toxic than Nad. In the case of A. cantator, CaClo is the most toxic. KC1 and MgC I 2 are almost the same in action and MgS0 4 again surpasses NaCl in toxicity. But if we reexamine the figures, taking the molecular weights and considering the actual grams per liter of each salt, we find that for A. sollicitans, KC1 is the most toxic salt, with MgClo and Cad 2 nearly the same in toxicity. In the case of A. cantator KOI again leads, but CaCl 2 is second and MgClo is third. Table I shows the relative amounts of the salts required to kill and the species differ- ences are thus indicated.

(( MgS0 4 92, .475 gm. per 1. , 10 2 mlt. 17 hr. While the writer is fully aware that these experiments are too incomplete to warrant generalization, it is entirely possible that the larva? of A. cantator and A. sollicitans do normally live in media which differ with respect to content of some of the salts of sea water. It is very certain that they live in water of salinities which arc different, A. sollicitans occupying water of a higher salinity than A. cantator. If we are to believe Joseph and Meltzer (4), we must conclude that the reason CaCL is more toxic for A. cantator than it is for A. sollicitans is that normally the environment of A. cantator does not furnish it with as much Cad 2 as the other species under consideration. Joseph and Meltzer (4) state their law as follows — “The toxicity of magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium to the entire animal is in inverse proportion to the amounts in which they are present in the serum of that animal. The smaller the amount of the ion in the serum, the more toxic it is in the infusion.” The writer anticipates rather extensive series of experiments with the larva? of the New Jersey mosquito to test toxicities of the inorganic salts further. It would be strange if in the course of the extensive studies carried on all over the world in connection with the problem of mos- quito extermination, some work had not been done on the effect of salts on development. Let us examine a few of the more important contributions. 14 0 A number of years ago a successful attempt was made to take advantage of the fact that the house mosquito and the malarial mos- quito are both fresh-water species. The experiment is described by Howard (2) in his little book “Mosquitoes” published in New York in 1911. At Virginia Beach, near Norfolk, Va., was a large fresh- water lake, which “with its adjoining swamp, was a source of mos- quito supply, and it was feared (although this was before the mos- suito dissemination of malaria was proven) that it made the neigh- borhood malarious.” The result of cutting canals which connected the lake with the salt water, was the change of the waters to salt instead of fresh water and the complete disappearance of mosquitoes. Tn discussing the control of domestic mosquitoes, Howard, Dyar and Knab (3) cite an attempt made in 1905 in New Orleans to destroy mosquito larvas in the open gutters by the use of common salt. The work gave fine results where properly done, but the influx of numerous adults of A. sollicitans from the salt marshes near by caused the citizens to protest against the salting, claiming that the sanitary officials were bringing about suitable breeding conditions for sollicitans. Tn considering the means of control of the mosquitoes, Dr. W. M. Graham (1) pointed out that the destruction of the mosquito may he effected by methods which destroy the larvae or by methods which destroy the food of the larvae. Doctor Graham made experiments which showed that the larvae of Pyretophorus costalis, breeding in water rendered partially opaque by suspended matter and containing motile algae, will become cannibalistic if the suspended matter is pre- cipitated by the addition of 3 per cent common salt. He also pointed out that the growth of very young larvae is inhibited by concentrations less than 3 per cent, while fully grown larvae are apparently accel- erated in their development by hypertonic solutions. Tn order to determine to what extent the action of salt on mos- quito larvae is due to the hypertonicity of the solution, and to what extent to the destruction of the food supply was the problem which engaged the attention of Doctor J. W. Scott MacFie (5). Larvae of Aecles calopus (Stegomyia fasciata) were used in the experiments. They were found to occur in water of salinities ranging from 0.005 per cent NaCl to 0.019 per cent NaCl, the average of six determinations being 0.012 per cent NaCl. In the first experi- ment 10 mature larvae were placed in each of 6 jars containing, re- spectively, 0.5 per cent, 1 per cent, 2 per cent, 3 per cent, 4 per cent and 5 per cent NaCl solutions in clear water. Thus the factor of precipitation was excluded. In 5 per cent NaCl all larvae died within 2 hours, in 4 per cent all had died within 3 days; in 1 per cent during the ten days through which the experiment was continued, 4 larvae died, 4 pupated and hatched, and 1 remained alive at the conclusion of the experiments. Tn the second experiment more dilute solutions of salt were used. The salinity of the natural medium was increased by adding salt, 15 and jars were prepared containing 0.10 per cent, 0.15 per cent, 0.20 per cent, 0.25 per cent and 0.30 per cent. Larvae were also placed in a solution of 0.32 per cent NaCI in pure water. At the end of 0 days all larvae had died, pupated or hatched. The author concludes that the very .young larvae are more adaptable to change in concen- tration of their medium. In the 0.30 per cent solution 11 out of 20 of the larvae died as lame, while in the 0.10 per cent solution none of the larvae died as larvae. By way of criticism it might be stated that the writer has found that after the first day in such solutions starvation may induce cannibalistic activities, and thus vitiate the results. We may close discussion* of the literature bv brief mention of the work of the Brazilian investigators reviewed by Howard, Dyar and Knab (3). The Brazilian workers tried numerous experiments with mixtures of sea water which indicated that the larvae of A. calopus will develop in water containing 40 per cent sea water. They ex- perimented with NaCI and discovered that larvae would not withstand solutions stronger than 1 per cent. Conclusions Since field records and laboratory experiments closely agree we may conclude that the distribution of the two dominant species of salt-marsh mosquitoes in the State of New Jersey is in part dependent on the salinity of the water. The fresher waters seem to bring out the brown salt-marsh mosquito, A. cantator, while the marsh pools with slightly higher salinity seem to be most favorable for the de- velopment of A. sollicitans. As a means of control of the salt-marsh mosquitoes, aside from its value in bringing fish to the pools, the plan of ditching is bound to l)c of the utmost importance. It provides a means of quickly draining some areas, and brings the salt water to increase the salinity of permanent pools, rendering them salt enough in some cases to retard and in some cases completely to check the development of the mosquitoes. Another reason for the action of the water aside from its salinity seems quite plausible to the writer. This is the possi- bility that the incoming tide may drown the mosquito larvae by the rise and fall of its waves as they advance. It seems to the writer that this .may be the “line of battle” which is even more effective at high tide than the fish or the effect of salinity. We may conclude in any case that the greatest factor in the appearance of A. cantator at an early date in the season and its pre- dominance over certain upland regions of the State of New Jersey is dependent on the low salinity of the water; while the appearance of A. sollicitans at a later date and its existence on the comparativelv low marshes, is dependent on its apparent need for a relatively high degree of salinity to favor its development. Tn the. case of anv of the species of salt-marsh mosquitoes, it is quite possible to kill the very young larvae by the use of water of the salinity of the sea. 16 The possibility of thus eliminating many of the mosquitoes which breed in marshy land appears to be great and the steps already taken in this state are shown to be the best.

E. Chidester, Ph. D. Introduction The mosquito has a long list of natural enemies and if the exact standing of each were well understood it is possible that some of the more important might he artificially encouraged to a point where their warfare on the mosquito would prove the most efficient factor in its satisfactory control. With this in mind the writer was invited to examine the possibilities of certain fishes already known as mos quito destroyers. The study was begTin September 19, 1914 and continued for a little over one year. The study consisted of making collections of fishes throughout the year with records of tides, salinity, specific gravity and tempera- ture of the waters in which they were taken ; a study of the stomachs of samples from the collections ; experiments on the resistance of the fishes to high concentrations of salts; experiments on the effect of highly concentrated sea water on the development of the embryos; and many feeding experiments, using mosquito larvae, Dytiscus. daphnids and other known food of the killifishes. These experiments were supplements by other experiments on the importance of the water tiger ( Dytiscus ) and the tadpoles of several species of frogs as mosquito larvae exterminators. The last named group of experi- ments will be elsewhere discussed. Enemies of the Mosquito In outlining the problem,' it Avas found desirable to prepare a list of the animals recognized as foes of the mosquitoes, and with 1 Contributions from the entomological laboratory; Thomas J. Headlee, Ph. D., Entomologist. 4 the idea that it may be used in later studies of this sort, it is pre- sented with this paper.

Fishes Known To Eat Salt-Marsh Mosquitos No writer on the subject of the relation of fishes to the mos- quito problem can pass lightly over the magnificent work done by Mr. William P. Seal (10) of Delair, New Jersey, who for years has been known as an authority on the subject. Independently and later as fish expert to Dr. J. B. Smith, Mr. Seal showed the importance of utilizing the fish as one of the most important groups preying on the mosquitoes. In Dr. Smith’s report (13) and in later papers Mr. Seal (10, 11) has pointed out clearly that on the salt marshes, Fundulus heteroclitus, Fundulus diaplianus, Cyprinodon variegatus 5 and Gambusia affinis are all extremely important enemies of the mosquito larvae. As the writer was concerned primarily with the salt-marsh mos- quito, his problem was to discover what species of fish was most effective on the marshes, both ditched and unditched. While the work herewith recorded is largely from Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, the excellent report s}^stem of the Entomologist and the willing cooperation of the many chief inspectors and inspectors ex- tend the records throughout the entire State. In the following pages we shall show that not only is Fundulus heteroclitus the most voracious enemy of the larvae, pupae and adults of the mosquito, but that on account of the migration habits, numbers and supremacy of the species, it is the most important natural factor in the extermination of the salt-marsh mosquito. It is worthy of note that Funduls heteroclitus is also an important enemy of the green-headed fly; Pools and Streams under Observation In order to study the fish closely and extend the period of ob- servation under natural salt-marsh conditions, a marsh near Bon- ham town, New Jersey, and about three miles from the City of New Brunswick, was selected as the chief station for study. Here collec- tions were made at intervals from September 19, 1914 to August 15, 1915. l \ 3 Fig. 1 . — Diagram of salt-marsh area showing 'pools from ivhich fish were taken. Scale : 1 inch -12 feet. 6 During three weeks of June, 1915, many experiments and ob- servations were made at the Marine Bioliogical Station, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Some of the problems attacked were the effect of high concentration of salts on the viability of Fundulus ; the effect of highly concentrated sea water on the development of the embryo of Fundulus heteroclitus ; the water tiger as food for Fundulus heteroc- litus ; adaptation of Fundulus diaphanus to salt) water ; acclimization of the tadpole to salt water; habits of the migrating Fundulus ; and effect of varying the flow of water on the activity of Fundulus heter- oclitus. The problems named will be further discussed in later pap- ers, but the most important facts germane to the present discussion will be incorporated in the pages following in appropriate places. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the kindness of Dr. F. R. Lillie, Dr. Gilman A. Drew and Mr. George Gray of the Marine Biological Laboratory in placing at my disposal the laboratories and supplies of their institution. The excellent library was of great help, also. At the suggestion of Dr. T. J. Headlee, a trip was made to Atlantic County early in July to investigate the conditions in virgin territory undrained by human agents. Marsh land near Beach Haven, Tuckerton, and Atlantic City was studied and the dispersal of fishes noted. The Tuckerton Creek and many creeks near it also were studied. At the Bonhamtown meadows work was intensified on three permanent pools, additional studies being made of conditions in many other small and large pools and on the activity of the fishes in the ditches and along the shores. These pools were surveyed by Mr. R. B. Hiller, an engineering student of Rutgers College, and were sounded at intervals. Collec- tions were made from the pools and from ditches and larger pools by means of a 20-foot minnow seine and several small dip-nets. Table of collections with species of fish identified Number of Fundulus heL Cyprinodon var. Apeltes Anguilla, collections 29 1581 105 19 22 Although Fundulus vvajalis did not appear on the Bonhamtown marshes, the species is fairly well distributed along the New Jersey coast, running in and out with the tides, confining itself to the salt and brackish water and not migrating into the shallows. Because of this habit, it cannot enter largely into the extermination of the salt-marsh mosquito. Besides the fish named, Lucania and Menidia were collected aft times when the tides were especially high. Ampng the Arthropoda collected from the pools under observation were Dytiscus and its larvae the water tiger, Crangon vulgaris and Palaeomonetes (shrimps) and Notonecta. Many small unidentified myriapods were dug up with the fish when collections were made in midwinter from the mud in the bottoms of the pools. Migration in Fishes Like its relative, Fundulus majalis, Fundulus heteroclitus is most normal in activity in moving water. Fundulus majalis, which moves in and out with the tides, has been studied by Dr. S. 0. Mast, who finds that it is not only prone to move with the tides, but that when the outlet to the ocean is plugged, the fish will convey them- selves overland by flopping in the general direction of the ocean. Mast (5) shows that the fish actually keep their sense of direction in the overland course. He concludes that the fish “apparently re- member” the location of the outlet. As Mast can find no external features which seem capable of guiding, he concludes that the be- havior is dependent on internal factors. Fundulus heteroclitus migrates to the shallowest pools of the salt marshes and travels up streams past the salt water to water of a very low salinity. When it is land-locked it stays throughout the winter in the mud in the bottom of salt marsh pools. It is significant that Fundulus heteroclitus will return to the ocean on the tides in the late fall, and that it ceases coming to the marshes when the water reaches a temperature of about 45 °F. Records made with the salinometer and thermometer from No- vember, 1914, to August, 1915, show that Fundulus heteroclitus react negatively to water of a low salinity when the temperature is below 45 °F. As the temperature rises and the marsh pools and streams are increased in salinity by the incoming high tides of spring, the fish migrate freely and stay in water which is fresher than they will tolerate at colder temperatures. Permanent unditched pools contained killifishes ( F . heteroclitus and F. diaphanus), eels, sheeps-head minnows ( Cyprinodon ) and shrimps, throughout the entire winter. Field records of the three permanent and four temporary pools observed, showed that during November, the fishes attempted to burrow in the bottoms as the tem- perature stood between 43 °F. and 47°F. In the case of the permanent pools whose bottoms are covered with soft mud and finely torn eel grass and sedge, the fish burrowed down to a depth of 6 or 8 inches and many remained there in the black oozy mud at a temperature ranging from 40 °F. to as high as 45 °F. On sunny days some of the fishes came out and swam around, plainly visible under the ice which was sometimes one-fourth to one-half inch thick over the salt pools. In the temporary pools where the bottoms are composed of matted and hardened grass bound together with clay, the fish rapidly succumb at the onset of cold weather. Specimens with whitened fin- edges secured early enough in the morning to be certain that the sun’s rays had not materially changed the temperature of their pools were 8 found to be feebly endeavoring to burrow into the mud. The water in the pools from which these dying fish were taken registered 43 °F. and 44° F. Some of the dying fish revived when brought to the laboratory and were kept for several weeks before being preserved. While temperature apparently explains the migration inland and the subsequent return to the salt water, it is interesting to note that during a period of two or three weeks in August, during the past sum- mer, the fish did not migrate to the shallows. This condition may not be in evidence every year, but some data, indicate that it is the usual thing. Records taken by. Mr. F. E. Mehrhof at Bonhamton in late July and early August showed that the killifish were very scarce at that time. Jlr. Russel Gies, chief inspector of the Union County Mosquito Extermination Commission reported that during the period between August 4 and August 10, the fish did not run into the ditches and could not be attracted into them by meat baits. While the meat bait probably caused acids of decay which would drive the fishes away, the fact that there was no migration for at least a week seems important. Records from other inspectors through- out the State showed that there is apparently a period of about two weeks in August marked by almost complete absence of the actively feeding killifishes from the marshes. Among the explanations which occur to me the following im- portant ones will he further discussed elsewhere. First, the tempera- ture of the water may be sufficiently high to reverse the reaction of the fish to fresh water and cause it to return to salt; second, the exhaustion subsequent to spawning may cause the fish to hesitate about wandering with the tides; third, appetite may be satisfied in the case of a large body of fish which have been living in brackish water and which begin to return to the salt, to be replaced by others which have not been far inland. These points will be taken up in detail on page 10. Some of the finest experimental work on fishes has been done by Dr. Victor E. Shelford (12) of the University of Illinois and his students, Dr. W. C. Allee and Dr. M. M. Wells. Much of the dis- cussion on migration to follow is based on their findings. Shelford and Powers have shown (12) that herring are sensi- tive to temperature differences as small as 0.2 °C. Johnstone (4) has shown that the migration of herring in Eur- ope is closely associated with the salinity and temperature of the sea. Shelford and Powers (12) have shown that alkalinity and aeiditv are more important than salinity. The herring and salmon experi- mented with reacted to small fractions of a cubic centimeter per liter of II 2 S and became negative to sea water which was slightly more acid than the fresh. Wells (16, 17, 18, 19) takes issue with Marsh who claims that “water which will support life must be slightly alkaline.” Wells claims (18, 19) that the water which seemed slightly alkaline when 9 methyl orange was used as an indicator, was probably acid to phen- olphthalein. Wells shows that fresh-water fishes recognize and react to the presence of salts in solution, the reaction being such as will bring them into their optimum salt concentration. From his own and from Shelf ord’s work on the salt-water fishes, Wells concludes that fresh water and probably salt water fishes are not so sensitive to salt ions as they are to hydrogen and hydroxyl ions. He also shows that starvation causes some fishes to select higher concentrations of salts than those normally selected, while the reverse is true of other species of fish. Roule (9) believes that salmon migrate to a richer supply of oxygen. Life History of Fundijlus Heteroclitus Fundulus heteroclitus is “the killifish of Schopff, the yellow- bellied and the white bellied killifish of Mitchill and the big killifish and barred killifish of I)e Kay. The Indian name hnummichog’ is applied to this as well as other species and some persons call it the salt water minnow. It is also called the mud-fish, cobbler and pike minnow.” [Bean (1) ]. The killifishes are characterized by banded markings, rounded fins, a very convex tail fin, short head, obtuse snout, space between the eyes very flat, lower jaw projecting, and a length of not more than 6 or 7 inches. The male reaches a length of about 5 inches and is easily dis- tinguished at all ages and in all seasons by the presence of a number of transversely arranged silver bars on the sides and a yellow or orange colored belly. The ground work of the body is dark green, and in mature specimens at the breeding season there are numerous white and pale yellow spots of color on the sides. The dorsal fin of the male bears a dark spot at the base of the last rays ; in the young male this dark spot is subdivided into two blotches. The vas deferens extends to the anal fin or even a little way along the anterior ray. The young female has dark bands like the silver bands of the male, and during the spawning season some older females show tht dark bands against their olive ground color. The majority of the older females, however, rarely show the transverse bands. The ovi- duct extends along the anterior ray of the anal fin about two-thirds its distance. It is interesting to note that the killifishes have the power of changing their color rapidly to agree with their background. This serves them well in escaping the notice of some of their enemies, as well as enabling them more readily to approach their living food. In New Jersey in the vicinity of New Brunswick, the spring migration begins as early as the latter part of March and 'gravid females were found as early as April 19, 1915. The spawning season 10 for older fish, reaches its height during the latter part of May in this latitude. After spawning, the fish do not seem active for a time and as previously indicated, we find that migration far inland ceases almost entirely in New Jersey during about two weeks in August. When we consider that there are at least three kinds of fish of the same species coming in with the tides toward the fresher waters, it is easy to explain on theoretical grounds, at least, such a condition as has been mentioned. In the very early spring we have the larger males and females which will spawn in a week or two; a large number of medium- sized fish which come in to feed but which will not spawn for a month at least; and lastly, the yearlings, which will not spawn until late in August or, if of the late brood of the previous year, probably not until the next summer. Knowing that after each fish is com- pletely spent of its genital products there must be a period of com- parative sluggishness, we find that the absence of the larger fishes from the marshes in August is readily explained; this also explains the relatively few medium-sized fish on the marshes in August. The fact that even the smaller fish do not appear in any great numbers in the middle of August, leads one to believe that another factor enters into the matter. This factor, the writer believes, is that of warmth. The fish which reacted positively to the fresher water as the temperature in- creased inland in the spring, may have reacted to the lower salinities on the marshes more readily when in a state of starvation. In the middle of August there are three conditions which might influence the return: first, the higher temperature which might reverse the reaction to fresher water; second, the condition of sluggishness fol- lowing spawning and inhibiting any battle with tides; and last, the fact that the animals are well fed and hence in a conditon to return to their abode for the winter. Early in September large numbers of Fundulus heteroclitus re L turn to the marshes with the tides, and they continue to run in and out, staying for shorter and shorter periods as the cold increases in the fresher streams, until finally they cease running until the follow- ing spring. The mating habits of Fundulus heteroclitus have been very well described by H. H. Newman (6) in the Biological Bulletin for 1907. The presence of males and females in aquaria together is known to be sufficient to cause the females to spawn. If a male is not pres- ent, when a gravid female is too much distended with eggs she will assume a peculiar S shape, and vibrating her tail, will extrude some of her eggs. If a male is present, he will usually seek out and corner a female about ready to spawn and lock his dorsal and anal fins against hers. Then follows the simultaneous extrusion of eggs and sperm. Plate I. Fig. 1 . — Fnndulus heteroclitus male . Fig. 2. Fun du las heteroclitus female. 11 In nature, although many of the eggs are eaten by other fish and even by the mother, the majority of them sink to the bottom in mud and are there protected. The development of the eggs of Fundulus depends on the temperature of the water, but is about three weeks in length. During development, the hardy eggs of Fundulus heteroclitus may be subjected to almost unbelievable maltreatments and still de- velop. They will develop in water ranging from distilled to even as high as 40 per cent 1 salt. Placed in solutions of alcohol, ether, chloretone and magnesium chloride in sea water, many develop ab- normally, but develop to hatching. [Stockard (14, 15)]. The young fish hatches with a yolk sac which rapidly disappears, leaving it to feed on minute plankton. By the following spring after hatching a young Fundulus is ready to eat much the same foods as the largest of its kind. The worst enemy of the killifish is probably his own kind. Many eggs are eaten by the adults of the same species. Among the fish known to eat Fundulus heteroclitus are the striped bass, weakfish, smelt, blue fish and dogfish. Sea birds and even domestic ducks are also known to be enemies of the little killifish. [Bean (1) ]. Man takes advantage of the fact that killifishes are easily ob- tainable and uses quantities of them as bait for other larger fish. Food of the Killifishes The very young Fundulus of a little less than a year can eat as many as six pupae of the mosquito in half an hour and survive the meal. In an experiment performed purely as an extra, I placed a very small Fundidus (1cm.) in a jar with six pupae of Aedes sollici- tans Wlk. which were at least half its length. In 30 minutes all the pupae were eaten. The first one seized was eaten in about 6 minutes. Examinations of the stomachs of adult Funduli showed that they eat larvae, pupae, and adults of all the salt-marsh mosouitoes. They also eat Dytiscus , Notonecta and many Daphnids. In the winter small quantities of algal matter and a few small shrimps constitute the most of the food of the active individuals. In the early fall, the chief food besides mosquitoes seems to be insect and snail eggs and occasionally a few fish eggs. Mr. T. C. Kelson of the University of Wisconsin, informs me lFrom unpublished experiments by the author. 12 that he has seen Fundulus lieteroclitus jump out of the water to catch mosquitoes, green-head flies and Ephydra. Efficiency of Fundulus Heteroclitus as a Mosquito Exterminator In the laboratory many experiments were performed with Fun- duli of all ages to determine how many mosquito larvae they will take at one meal. Out of about 30 experiments, the average number was 25. After eating from 20 to 30 larvae, a Fundulus apparently needs time to digest, as it rarely begins eating again for at least two hours. The best record of feeding for a medium-sized Fundulus was 15 mosquito larvae of the second moult in 5 minutes. In order to determine the capacity of killifishes under laboratory conditions, when fed 10 larvae at a time during a period of about 8 hours of the day, experiments were performed as follows. Two large killifishes (about 7 cm, or 2.75 inches) two medium- sized killifishes, (about 5 cm, or 2 inches) and two small killifishes (about 3 cm, or 1.20 inches) were selected as suitable for the experi- ments. All were apparently in perfect health and among the most vigorous of the lot collected at this time. Six aquarium jars, each 12 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height were prepared with salt water previously boiled and diluted to 6 per cent salt. Into each of the jars a fish was placed and allowed to accustom itself to its sur- roundings for a period of about 12 hours. A mixture of mosquito larvae of the species Aedes sollicitans Wlk., Aedes cantator Coq. and Culex salinarius was carefully sorted into larvae of approximately the same age and size, and held in readiness for the feeding experiment. Beginning on the fourth of August, 1915, Mr. F. E. Mehrhof began feeding the larvae to the fish, continuing his experiment for a period of four days. The plan of the experiment was to observe the fish at intervals of 30 minutes and supply them with larvae of the second moult in groups of 10. When more than one larva was left in the jar the fish was not given a new lot of 10. The presence of larvae which had passed through the body of the fish as excrement was ig- nored. The graphs which follow show the average consumption of each fish for the period of four days. 13 Fig. 2 — Diagram skewing feed curves for four days : Graph 1 — Fish No. 1 . Graph 2 — Fish No. 2. Graph 3 — Fish No. 3. Graph 4 — Fish No. 4. l 645 In discussing the results obtained we must first point out some of the most apparent errors in the experiment. The experiment was performed during the hours 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. and therefore the night life of the fish is not recorded. It is probable that many more larvae would have been eaten had they been given to the fish very early in the morning. Others would have been eaten as late as 7 :00 p. m. and probably some would have been eaten in the darkness of the night. Again since the killifish depends almost entirely on its visual sense in locating the mosquito larvae and since the specimens used could get no new lot of 10 larvae until all but one larva, dead or alive, was eaten, many minutes of idleness and probably hunger were passed over. Lastly, the food was entirely of mosquito larvae. Briefly summarizing the results of the experiments we may say: that first, the highest record of daylight consumption for the period of four days was 123 larvae; other fish ate more but did not # survive; second, the highest record of daylight consumption of larvae for three of the four days was 135, and then the fish died; third, the total number of larvae consumed during four days and three nights by four of the fish which survived was 600.; the total number consumed by these same fish for the daylight hours only was 451 ; fourth, the greatest number of larvae eaten in one day was 70, but two of the fish made this record and one of them ate but 20 larvae the following day and then died; fifth, the two largest fish were the only ones which survived the whole period of four days and seemed ready for more food at the end of the experiment. The average consumption of the two survivors per day for the period of four days was 35 larvas per dav each. The average daylight consumption for that time was 27.25 larva? each. It is obvious that experiments performed on such a small number of fish for such a short period of time prove little. They do show, however, that the capacity of medium-sized killifishes of the species Fundulus heteroclitus is enough to make it a formidable enemy of the mosquito larvae. It is interesting to note that Fundulus heteroclitus not only will eat larvae, pupae, and the shells of the same, but that it will eat these over and over again, when hard pressed by hunger. Tn order to test the activity of Fundulus heteroclitus as an enemy of the water tiger, larva of Hytiscus, I performed numerous experi- ments at Woods Hole, Mass., using medium-sized killifish and rather large water tigers. In the presence of mosquito larvae the water tigers were not eaten, but after the mosquito larvae had been cap- tured the water tigers were soon devoured. As Hr. G. H. Parker (7, 8) has shown the importance of the visual sense as well as the olfactory sense in the teleosts, particularly Fundulus heteroclitus, experiments on the attractiveness of larval shells to Fundulus were hardly necessary. It seemed wise, however, to make a few such experiments. 15 Four medium-sized male Funduli were placed in a jar containing larval shells and a few mosquito larvae. The larvae were seized in- stantly, but not all of them had been captured before the voracious killifishes seized and partly devoured larval and pupal shells. The larval shells were spit out rather forcibly on being about half swallow- ed. The spitting reaction was not limited to larval and pupal shells, however. In many of my experiments with killifish placed in jars with large numbers of mosquito larvae, a sated individual would act like the small boy at Thanksgsiving, and seize larvae which it could not stomach. After a few such “tries” the fish sometimes rest and meditate on the bottom of the aquarium, occasionally seizing a few other larvae and swallowing them. From our experiments there is little evidence of a selection of one particular species of mosquito larva. The selection of the mosquito larva in preference to water tigers, Notoneda, shrimps, spiders, daphnids and vegetable food,, is attributable, I believe, to the stimulus of the extremely active mos- quito larva to the visual sense of the fish. The fish always selected motile larvae in preference to dead or quiescent ones; the}^ chose the larvae as they came to the surface to breathe or seized them as they were sinking. While it is true that the fish also ate dead larvae and those which were quietly resting at the bottom of the jar, they also seized other animals, bits of alga, in fact almost anything which appealed to the eye. The olfactory and gustatory senses came into play in the rejection of unsuitable or distasteful food. Smell, I maintain, is a secondary sense in the capture of mosquito larvae b}^ the killifish, Fundulus heteroditus. Conclusions The greatest natural enemy of the salt-marsh mosquito is the barred killifish, Fundulus heteroditus. It also eats many green-head flies. Fundulus heteroditus captures larvae, pupae and adults of the mosquito, eating as many as 50 a day and killing many more. The vast hordes of fishes which migrate to the shallows and even into almost fresh water render the species especially formidable. The number of enemies of the mosquito which are eaten by Fundulus heteroditus is negligible and is more than compensated for by the great preponderance of mosquitoes in the diet of the fish. The ease with which Fundulus may be artificially fertilized and the remarkable vigor and resistance of the young embryos make the stocking of pools and streams with this species a simple matter. 16 LITERATURE CITED (1) Bean, Tarleton H. 1903.

Cathcart , State Chemist, and Ralph L. Willis, Assistant Chemist The law of New Jersey entitled “An Act to Regulate the Sale of Insecticides,” Chapter 89, Session 1912, requires an annual inspec- tion of the insecticides sold in this state. In accordance with this requirement the inspection for the year 1916 was made, and the results obtained are herewith presented. REGISTRATIONS During the year the following manufacturers registered 198 brands of materials which they intended to offer for sale : Allen Manufacturing Co Quakertown, N. J. George M.

Fifteen samples of Paris green were examined, six of which were obtained in original packages and the remainder represented larger shipments. All of the samples were examined for the content of total arsenious oxide, water-soluble arsenic compounds and copper oxide. In addition to the chemical examination, the samples re- ceived in original packages were carefully weighed in order to Guarantee not stated. 8 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station ascertain the net weight of the insecticide delivered. The exact weights as found are tabulated and it will be noted that in five instances the net weight equalled or exceeded the weight claimed. The sixth sample, which was supposed to contain 4 ounces, was a fraction short of the weight claimed. All of the samples contained more than 50 per cent of total arseni- ous oxide and less than 3.5 per cent of water-soluble arsenious oxide, and, consequently, all of the samples satisfied the standard as required by the law. Pure Paris green contains 1.87 parts of ar- senious oxide to 1 part of copper oxide. An excess of white arsenic would cause this ratio to be wider. If the samples are judged on this basis, Samples 16029, 16059 and 16062 evidently contain an excess of white arsenic, since the ratio of the arsenious oxide to the copper oxide as found is 1.93, 1.92 and 1.90 to 1.00, respectively.

Twenty-three samples of lead arsenate were examined, 10 of which were in paste form and the remainder were dry powders. Ten samples were secured in original packages and in each instance the net weight of the materials equalled or exceeded the weight claimed. In accordance with the standard as given in the law, a lead arsen- ate would be deemed adulterated (1) if it contains more than 50 per cent of water, (2) if it contains less than 12.5 per cent of arsenic oxide, and (3) if it contains water-soluble arsenic compounds equivalent to more than 0.75 per cent of arsenic oxide. The records show that all of the samples met the requirements of the law in regard to the content of water and total arsenic oxide, 10 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and all of the samples in paste form were satisfactory in regard to- the content of arsenic in water-soluble forms. Two samples of the powdered arsenate, Nos. 16025 and 16055, exceeded the maximum guarantees given for the water-soluble arsenic. Particular attention is called to Sample 16055. It will be noticed that this sample contained 4.39 per cent of water-soluble arsenic oxide and 3.41 per cent of soluble impurities other than soluble arsenic oxide. This brand was located last year and the manufac- turers were informed in regard to the violation of the law if they sold such a mixture as lead arsenate. From the correspondence it was assumed that the product had been withdrawn until Sample 16055 was received from a dealer in New Brunswick, N. J. The dealer was interviewed and he stated that the material was received this year and was not stock carried over from last year. He was notified by the department not to make any future sales of the material. The question was again taken up with the manufacturer, who gave the following information : — “that as the goods were manufac- tured previous to the material concerning which we corresponded with you last year, we find upon investigation that it had long ago been called in. By this we mean to indicate that we have discon- tinued the sale of an article of this character, have called it in from where we knew we could find it, and have set it aside in our ware- house pending remanufacture or other disposition.” We were unable to locate any other shipment of this brand and, consequently, could not secure any additional information relating to the question.

Helyar, State Seed Analyst* During the past two years more attention has been given to the vegetable seeds offered in bulk in the New Jersey markets, and inspection or official samples are largely from this class of seed. This bulletin is intended to report the results of analyses of such official samples as have been received through the efforts of the Seed Laboratory during this period. Owing to the increasing de- mand for service in the testing of unofficial samples it has been im- possible to devote as much time to official inspection, though the re- sults reported may be assumed fairly to indicate existing conditions. ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL SAMPLES— 1915 The analyses given in the following tables represent the quality of samples collected during the year ending October 31, 1915. * The analyses of the samples herein reported were made in part by Mr. Robert Schmidt, who resigned May 1, 1915, by Mr. A. C. Foster and Mr. H. E. Carney, who resigned January 1, 1916, and September 1, 1916, respectively, and also by Miss Nevada S. Evans, who is now engaged as Assistant Seed Analyst.

The results of the laboratory tests of these samples are set forth in the following tables. Crimson Clover Seed Investigations The situation with respect to crimson clover seed in 1916 was such as to demand particular attention from the Seed Laboratory. Twenty-nine samples were collected and analyzed and the reports published early in June and previous to the time of general pur- chase. A study of the table giving results of germination tests will indicate the need of such action. These 29 samples represent 53,700 pounds of seed, sufficient to sow 2685 acres, if sown at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. The price ranges from $6.00 to $7.75 per bushel. The germination tests give 34 per cent as the lowest and 92.5 per cent as the highest. The following gives an idea of the quantity of the different grades of .seed: 13 Bulletin 302 Germination 30 to 40% 8,040 lbs. Germination 40 to 50% 9,240 lbs. Germination 50 to 60% 13,380 lbs. Germination 60 to 70% 3,960 lbs. Germination 70 to 80% 6,780 lbs. Germination 80 to 95% 7,635 lbs. It is also apparent that no relation exists between quality and price. One lot priced at $7.50 per bushel has a germination of 44 per cent and another priced at $6.00 per bushel has a germination of 81.5 per cent. While these samples do not represent all of the seed offered or sold to New Jersey farmers, yet the quantity examined seems suf- ficient to indicate the general quality. The results certainly indi- cate that purchase should be made with knowledge of germination in hand. TABLE XI ANALYSIS OF CRIMSON CLOVER SEED No. Source of Sample | Germination, Per cent 3543 H. W.

The full text of this law is given in Circular 59 of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, which is avail- able upon request. The new law also provides for free test, exami- nation and analysis of seed for residents of the state. In spite of the new law, individuals should use the same precaution in the selection and purchase of agricultural seeds as heretofore advised. It is well to be certain as to what the statements on the label actually mean, and to understand just how far they can be used in judging of quality. Appearance, vigor of sprouts, and trueness of variety or strain are factors which greatly affect or indicate quality, results and profits. USE THE SEED LABORATORY The greater part of the seeds represented by the samples listed in the foregoing tables will have been sown before this bulletin reaches the reader. What value therefore can such a publication have to those who have bought and sown these or other seeds not tested by the Seed Laboratory? To attempt an answer to this is to state such general conclusions as may be drawn from the foregoing reports of analyses. It is difficult to measure the value of an agency which is studying the quality of seed offered for sale in the state and which is author- ized to publish its findings. It is not possible to know how many are influenced by the possibilities of publication. This feature is a most potent factor in the Federal investigations of adulterated seed. On the other hand, publicity also serves as a desirable advertising fea- ture to the man who is giving quality. To the buyer these tables of analyses furnish proof of many in- stances where the quality of the seeds was such that purchase would be doubtful were the facts presented with the seeds. To be in a position to know these facts about quality is the argument for buying seeds by samples and analysis. Such analysis gives one cer- tain information for protection and guidance. Some dealers will voluntarily give such facts to their customers. They are required to do so in some states. Bulletin 302 21 It is evident that the Seed Laboratory acting alone as an investi- gating agent can exert considerable influence but cannot be most effective unless it is called into service by the individual farmer or by association of farmers at the time when they are engaged in the business of buying seed for the season’s crop. Further, the Seed Laboratory can be of the greatest value in determining the quality of seed before it is purchased and not after it has been sown and found . by test to be unfit for seeding purposed. Granted that the Seed Laboratory should be used for the purposes indicated, direc- tions are given in the following paragraphs for its most effective use. HOW TO USE THE SEED LABORATORY The Sample Of prime importance is the sample submitted for a test of any sort. If it is not a fair representation of the entire lot, then the value of the analysis is decreased or lost entirely. It is necessary, then, that the sample be taken in a proper manner, to insure that the results of analysis will be of value and applicable to the entire lot of seed. If samples of prospective purchase are secured from dealers, they should be submitted to the laboratory unchanged in amount, for, as a rule, they are none too large. The samples are preserved under proper conditions in the Seed Laboratory so that they are always available for future reference, but will be returned to the sender after analysis is made, if desired. If the seed has already been purchased and delivered, then there are two questions concerning the sample : how shall it be taken, and how much is it necessary to send to the Seed Laboratory. How to Take the Sample Small lots of seeds up to three or four bushels should be emptied upon a smooth surface and thoroughly mixed so that the different elements will be equally distributed. Small portions are then select- ed from different points in the pile to make up the sample for test- ing. If larger quantities in sacks are to be sampled, some form of sampler is practically necessary. This is used to secure small sam- ples from the top, middle and bottom of each sack. The small sam- ples should be thoroughly mixed together and then a sample for analysis selected by taking small portions from different parts of 22 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station this mixture. In any case the desired result is to get a sample that will be truly representative of the seed and which cannot be obtain- ed by taking the sample from one place without previous mixing of the seed, because of the tendency of the seed in packages to separate into certain levels according to the amount of shaking or jarring they are subjected to in transportation. The Size of the Sample Too often the sample received is so small that a test is practically impossible and even if made, the results are of little value. It is urged that the samples sent to the Seed Laboratory approximate the following weights whenever possible. Oz. Red top, timothy, and all small seeds 1 Smaller vegetable seeds, such as lettuce, onion, radish, and turnips 1 Clovers, alfalfas and sorghums 2 Larger grass seeds, such as rye grass, brome grass, orchard grass and millets 2 Larger vegetable seeds, except corn, peas and beans 2 Cereals, vetches, cowpeas, corn, peas, beans, and all large seeds not provided for 4 Sending the Samples Too, often the samples as received at the Seed Laboratory are in an undesirable condition due to lack of proper attention in prepar- ing for shipment. Sometimes when two or more samples are sent together, the greater part of the separate samples will be found mixed together in the box or envelope in which they were sent. All containers should be properly sealed so that this mixing cannot oc- cur. Small boxes or strong manila envelopes should be used. The ordinary light envelop used for correspondence does not usually seal tight enough to prevent leakage and should not be used where several samples are sent together unless the precaution is taken to paste the entire flap down with some adhesive material as paste or mucilage. When the samples are finally prepared for shipment, they should be plainly addressed to the Seed Laboratory of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Stations, New Brunswick, N. J. The package should also have some distinctive mark of the sender so that it can be indentified and properly recorded when received. To complete the laboratory records of the samples, it is desired that the following information accompany the samples of seed. Bulletin 302 23 Name and address of sender Name and address of dealer Trade name of seed Where grown Price per bu per lb Kind of test desired State guarantee, if any Other remarks This information is not used for publication nor as a basis for action against any person or firms mentioned. It is desirable to have these facts that those in charge of the Seed Laboratory may extend their knowledge of seed trade conditions in the state. Sup- plying this information is only a small return for the service ren- dered and will materially help to solve the problems concerned. THE WORK OF THE SEED LABORATORY The Seed Laboratory is prepared to undertake the following work for applicants : 1. Identification of crop seeds and weed seeds. 2. Identification of weed plants. 3. Purity test for all agricultural seeds. 4. Germination test for all agricultural seeds. 5. Sulfur test for oats and other grains which may be suspected of having been subjected to the process known as sulfuring. 6. To supply any other information concerning seeds and weeds that can possibly be given. Reports Samples of seeds are promptly filed and receive attention in the order in which they are received. As a general rule, with the present facilities and the present demand for service, reports of purity tests can be returned within two days after receiving the sample. The germination test requires a longer period, depending on the variety of seed. For most seeds, however, the time limit is from a week to ten days. Some of the grasses require from three to four weeks’ time before a full report can be given. The reports are made on special blank forms and include the information necessary to judge the quality of seed with respect to purity or germination or both, where requested. Note. — The seed analyst cannot tell from the appearance of seeds whether or not they are true to varietal name. This can be determined only by plant- ing the seed and examining the crop therefrom. * ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS AND GROUND BONE; ANALYSES OF AGRICULTURAL LIME NEW JEKSEY AGRICULTURAL Bulletin 303 New Brunswick, N.

Cathcart, State Chemist* A portion of the results obtained during the inspection for 1916 was published in Bulletin 297 and the remaining analyses, together with a discussion of the whole inspection, are herewith presented. AUTHORITY FOR MAKING THE INSPECTION The inspection of the fertilizers sold in the state was made in accordance with the law entitled “An Act Concerning Fertilizers” which was approved March 27, 1912. The principal objects of this law are: (1) the protection of the purchaser, and (2) the protection of the honest manufacturer. This protection is secured by the sev- eral requirements as enumerated in the law which, briefly stated, consists of the following : 1. The filing of a sworn statement is required showing the mini- mum percentage of each element of plant-food to be guaranteed and, also, that the guarantee given will be attached to each package of the material offered for sale. The form to be used is prescribed and no additional statements are permitted. No claim or guarantee can be made for less than 0.82 per cent of nitrogen, equivalent to 1 per cent of ammonia ; or for less than 1 per cent of phosphoric acid, or * The analyses were made by Ralph L. Willis, Frank O. Fitts, Louis J. Kleinfeld, D. James Kay and Archie C. Wark. ( 5 ) 6 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station for less than 1 per cent of potash. The word “bone” cannot be used in connection with a brand name unless the phosphoric acid con- tained shall be derived from pure animal bone. As an additional protection the law also states that “a brand name of a mixed fer- tilizer once registered, shall not be changed to a lower grade at any subsequent registration.” 2. Tonnage reports are required to be rendered and an inspection fee paid for each ton sold at the rate of 15 cents per ton. 3. The state chemist, or his deputy, is given the power to collect samples of fertilizers, to make the analyses and to publish the results. 4. The penalty for a violation of any of the requirements is given. REGISTRATIONS Annual registrations are required to be submitted on November first, but a manufacturer is permitted to register a new brand at any time during the year, provided that this requirement is com- plied with before the material is actually placed on the market. Judging from the information received during the inspections, it is quite evident that some of the manufacturers do not at all times consider the question of registration to be very important, and as a result it is either overlooked until their attention has been called to the omission, or it is entrusted to some one who does not make the record which will exactly correspond to the statements that are attached to the materials as sold. In order that a registration may cover a given brand, it is absolutely necessary that the statements as registered (and this includes the brand names as well as the guaran- tees) must correspond with the statements attached to the materials. If the two statements do not agree in every particular, it must be considered that the brand in question has not been registered as required. The whole question of registration, since it is one of the require- ments of the law, is important, and each manufacturer or person responsible, for a fertilizer on our markets should make arrange- ments so that the registrations may not only be made at the time specified but, also, when they are made that the information given is accurate. During the year, 131 firms or persons registered 1493 brands, 111 of which were not registered, however, until the brands had been located by our inspectors. The unregistered brands that were col- lected represented the products of 42 manufacturers and consisted Bulletin 303 7 of 115 different brands. The following manufacturers failed to make the necessary registrations for the remaining four brands : E. M. Carman, Englewood, N. J. L. H. Chambers, Mt. Holly, N. J. Vaughan Seed Store, Chicago, 111. W. Wilde, Vineland, N. J. The registrations received up to January 18, 1916, were published in Bulletin 290. The registrations received since that date are pub- lished as a part of this report. Inasmuch as the law prescribes the form of guarantee to be at- tached to the materials sold, it is necessary, before a brand is regis- tered, to insist that the application blank should show all the guar- antees required, and it is expected to find the registered guarantees attached to the materials. A few applications have been received which did not give all of the guarantees required, but the corrected applications were complete and with a very few exceptions the full information was attached to the material. The condition has been taken up with the parties concerned and there should be no reason for their future shipments not being correctly guaranteed. It is admitted that under normal conditions the manufacturers have many problems to solve in order to comply with the laws of the various states, and during the past year they undoubtedly have experienced additional difficulties which were caused by the scarcity of some of the materials used in preparing the brands. On account of one of the requirements of the law of this state, when a manufac- turer could not supply the full guarantee previously given for any brand, it was necessary to adopt a new brand name for the mixture. The scarcity of the potash compounds, therefore, compelled the man- ufacturers to prepare many new mixtures, and under the conditions one would have expected to find many of the standard brands with the guarantees lowered. This condition, however, did not exist since all of the manufacturers, with but a single exception, branded their materials in accordance with the requirements, and the attitude which they have taken reflects great credit upon their business methods. The one case of incorrect branding which was referred to could have been avoided if the company responsible for the condition, Taylor Provision Co., Trenton, N. J., had applied for registration at the required time. This was not done, however, and the question 8 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station was not taken up by them until after the materials had been sold and sampled by our inspector. A full explanation was given, but since the entire output had been sold an adequate adjustment was difficult. It was finally agreed that each purchaser should be made to understand clearly that an error had been made in the branding, and that in the future the registration would be made at the proper time. REPORTS OF TONNAGE In accordance with the law and also with the certified statements made at the time of registering the brands to be offered for sale, reports on the tonnage sold are required to be rendered on April first and November first of each year. We have had no reason to question any of the reports that have been rendered with the excep- tion of the April report of this year which was submitted by the Standard Guano Co., Baltimore, Md. This report was very much smaller than their known sales and it is supposed that an error was made when the report was prepared ; but it was impossible to secure from the company any information regarding the discrepancy. After waiting a suitable time the party purchasing the materials from this company paid the required inspection fee. The following is a summary of the reports received during the past four years : Year • April Reports j November Reports Total for the Year Tons Mixed Fertilizers Tons Fertilizer Materials Tons Mixed Fertilizers Tons Fertilizer Materials Tons 1913 87,446.91 10,303.17' 51,706.28 7,204.79 156,661.15 1914 78,768.27 8,735.62 59,223.26 8,686.99 155,414.14 1915 87,052.13 7,276.45 53,288.11 5,459.28 153,075.97 1916 61,368.88 9,032.38 52,328.81 7,069.70 129,800.07 RULES AND REGULATIONS The law provides that the state chemist shall have authority to establish rules and regulations in regard to the inspection, analyses and sale of fertilizers. In accordance with this provision the fol- lowing rulings have been made : 1. Two reports are required annually, and the dates fixed by the law are April first and November first. The April report covers the sales from November first to April first, and the November report covers the sales from April first to November first. Bulletin 303 9 2. Whenever a corporation, firm or person shall have filed a statement required by Section 2 of the law and shall have paid the inspection fee as required by Section 4 of the law, no other agent, importer, corporation, firm or person shall be required to pay the inspection fee upon such brands. 3. All corporations, firms or persons who have registered the regular brands manufactured by them and, also, the fertilizer mater- ials offered for sale by them, can furnish mixtures, commonly known as “special mixtures” or “special compounds,” which are prepared for immediate delivery and in accordance with a formula submitted by the purchaser, without having the mixture registered before filling the order, provided the following procedure is adopted : (a) A certified statement is to be filed with the state chemist that it is desired to make “special mixtures” for immediate delivery in accordance with formula submitted by the purchaser, and that the tonnage of material used will be accounted for in the reports that are required to be rendered. (b) The shipments of these “special mixtures” during the fiscal year are to be numbered consecutively, a record being made so that the formula with the guaranteed analysis of each ingredient used or the calculated guarantee of the mixture can be furnished the state chemist when he so requests. (c) The shipments are to be in plain bags with tags attached, giving the following information : Special Mixture No. (5). Mixture of Registered Ingredients Prepared for (John Jones, Salem, N. J.) Manufactured by (Smith Fertilizer Co., Camden, N. J.) 4. Reports on samples which are found to satisfy substantially the guarantees will be marked “Official,” and are submitted to the con- sumer on the same date as to the manufacturer. When analyses show samples to be deficient, reports are submitted to manufacturers and objections to the report or requests for a portion of duplicate sample must be made within 10 days from the date of report in order to receive consideration. Should a manufacturer’s report on the official sample differ from our report, every effort will be made to locate the cause, but only those results that can be duplicated in tins laboratory by the use of the methods adopted by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists will be accepted as official. 10 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station THE TRADE VALUES OF THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF PLANT-FOOD It has been the practice for the Station to prepare each year a schedule of trade-values which were determined by the use of the wholesale quotations as published weekly in the Oil , Paint & Drug Reporter and the retail quotations which have been received by con- sumers. A tabulation of the various quotations was prepared this year and the great fluctuation in the prices noted. Several of the larger manufacturers were then requested to give us confidentially the prices which they would ask for their materials. The result of a careful study of the different quotations was that if a schedule of trade-values were made by the method in use during the past years, the calculated valuations of mixed goods would exceed the prices asked by the manufacturers. It is evident that such valuations would not give the information desired and, consequently, under the conditions it would not be fair to either manufacturer or consumer to use such a schedule. Although this was the conclusion from the information at hand, a final decision was deferred until additional information had been obtained. In the early part of March the annual conference of the directors and chemists of the experiment stations of the New England states and New Jersey was held. The question of valuations was very thoroughly discussed, and it was the unanimous opinion of those present that, on account of the great fluctuations in the prices of the various materials used, no schedule could be prepared which would fairly represent the charges to be made during the season. On account of this condition no schedule of trade-values has been prepared for this year and no valuations have been computed either for fertilizer materials or for mixed fertilizers. THE POTASH SITUATION Many inquiries have been received regarding the nature and value of the potash products that are being prepared in the West from the lakes and from alunite. We have not had opportunity to make com- plete analyses of these products, but from the information received from other sources, a unit of water-soluble potash in these materials has the same commercial and agricultural value as a unit of the same element in the German salts. Since the amount of potash that is available from these sources is comparatively limited and, also, since there is no prospect at this time to receive any considerable Bulletin 303 11 quantity from other sources, every effort should be made to conserve the materials which contain potash. INSPECTION FOR 1916 The inspection for the present year was made by two inspectors who have been engaged in this particular kind of work for several years. Every county in the state was visited and a total of 1640 samples was received at the Station, all but a small percentage of which being collected by the official inspectors. As usual, the sam- ples forwarded by individuals, other than the inspectors, were analyzed and reported to the parties sending the same ; but the re- sults obtained with any of the samples of mixed materials are not included in the tabulations. The samples received represented the stock of 561 dealers and consumers who were located in 230 cities or towns. The Selection of Samples for Examination The samples secured by our official samplers generally include many duplicates and sometimes a larger multiple of the various brands. In making the selection of the sample to be taken for analysis, when more than one sample of the brand has been received, it is our practice to select the one that represented the largest stock on hand at the time of sampling and, also, when possible to select the samples of the different brands, of any one firm, which were taken at different localities. It frequently happens, however, that but one sample of the brand has been received, and in such cases there is no opportunity to make a selection. When a duplicate sam- ple is analyzed, the sample taken represents the stock of another dealer, or a sample is secured which represents a different shipment. Unofficial samples of materials that are sold carrying a guarantee are seldom analyzed unless there is a particular reason for doing so. Persons desiring analyses of any samples should notify the state chemist, giving the brand name, the name of the manufacturer and the number of tons on hand. Upon receipt of this information, if the brand has not been recently analyzed and the tonnage warrants it, arrangements will be made to send an inspector to secure the sample without expense to the person making the request. There are two classes of unofficial samples, however, that will be examined, i. e., when the analysis might demonstrate a possible de- velopment of waste products into cheap sources of plant-food, or 12 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station might in other ways be of general interest. In either case sufficient information concerning the sample must be given in order that the analysis may be of service to the general public. The samples analyzed consisted of the following : 565 27 45 13 208 43 117 samples samples samples samples samples samples samples of commercial fertilizers. of commercial fertilizers (duplicates). of commercial fertilizers (unofficial). of home mixtures. of fertilizer materials. of ground bone. of sundry materials. 1018 samples total. The analyses of the above samples required about 11,500 separate determinations. The Chemical Examination The chemical examinations of the various brands of fertilizers were made in accordance with the official methods, and consisted of determining the content of the following : Nitrogen. Nitrates, ammonia salts, soluble organic, insoluble organic (active and inactive), and total nitrogen. Phosphoric Acid. Water-soluble, ammonium-citrate-soluble, in- soluble, total and available phosphoric acid. Potash. Water-soluble potash and whether in form of muriate or sulphate. The results of the above determinations with the exception of the percentages found for the “active insoluble’" and the “inactive insol- uble” organic nitrogen are given in the tabulations. During the past few years the tabulations contained the results of all of the determi- nations noted above. Statements have been made, however, that the various results as tabulated for the organic nitrogen are confus- ing and that the average consumer cannot, or at least does not, ascer- tain the activity of this constituent. A knowledge of the character or activity of the nitrogen derived from organic matter is very im- portant, and it is desired that the information given in the bulletins should be stated in such a form that would clearly show the value of the material. In order to make the report as helpful as possible, the form of tabulating the results relating to the organic nitrogen Bulletin 303 13 has been changed, and instead of tabulating the “water-soluble” and the “active insoluble and inactive insoluble organic” nitrogen, the results are reported under the two headings : “as soluble organic” and “as insoluble organic” nitrogen. All of the determinations were made, however, and duly reported to the manufacturers and to the purchaser whose goods were examined. In addition to the determi- nations reported as noted above, if, in the examination of the insolu- ble nitrogen, results were secured that indicated the constituent was derived from materials of an inferior grade, the percentage as re- ported is accompanied by an appropriate figure which refers to a note at the bottom of the page. This notes gives a statement as to the character of the insoluble nitrogen and, also, the percentage of activity as found by the alkaline permanganate method. If the examination indicated that the constituent was derived from materi- als of at least the Average activity, no additional statement is made. This method of tabulating shows at a glance those brands which con- tained a portion, at least, of the organic nitrogen in an inactive form. Guaranteed and Actual Composition All of the samples, with one exception, were accompanied by guarantees at the time of shipment, although all of the guarantees were not stated in the form required by the fertilizer law. The total number of brands of mixed fertilizers examined was 565, and of this number 289 did not carry any guarantee for potash. The average analysis of the 276 brands guaranteed to contain nitro- gen, phosphoric acid and potash and the average guarantees are as follows : Average Found Average Guaranteed % % % Nitrogen, as nitrates 0.32 Nitrogen, as ammonia salts 0.83 Nitrogen, as water-soluble organic 0.42 Nitrogen, as water-insoluble organic Nitrogen, total 0.82 2.39 2.48 Phosphoric acid, total 10.67 Phosphoric acid, insoluble Phosphoric acid, available 1.69 8.98 8.37 Potash 1.39 1.40 The average analysis of the 289 brands guaranteed to contain nitrogen and phosphoric acid, and the average guarantees are as follows : 14 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station Average % Found % Average Guaranteed % Nitrogen, as nitrates 0.45 Nitrogen, as ammonia salts 1.00 Nitrogen, as water-soluble organic 0.51 Nitrogen, as water-insoluble organic 1.15 Nitrogen, total 3.11 3.18 Phosphoric acid, total ' 11.25 Phosphoric acid, insoluble 2.01 Phosphoric acid, available | 9.24 8.94 In accordance with the preceding tabulations the brands, taken as a whole, substantially satisfied the guarantees given; but if the. indi- vidual analyses are examined it will be noted that in some instances the guarantees were not delivered, while in other brands the guar- antees were exceeded. A detailed study of the analyses will show that 122 brands satisfied every guarantee given, and in addition to this number 233 brands substantially satisfied the claims of the man- ufacturers. The remaining 209 brands were deficient. Of these deficient brands, 182 were deficient in one element, 26 in two ele- ments, and one in all three of the guaranteed elements. The record for this year shows that about 37 per cent of the brands were deficient. This is the largest percentage of deficient brands that has been reported since 1912. The following tabulation will show the deficiencies found this year, as well as those reported during the past ten years. In pre- paring this tabulation, deficiencies of 0.20 per cent or less of nitro- gen, and 0.30 per cent or less of phosphoric acid or potash have been disregarded.

Sample 16030 con- tained : lime 24.43 per cent ; phosphoric acid 0.30 per cent, and a trace of potash. 16031. Ashes. Submitted by E. J. Hoppen, Newark, N. J. It contained 3.48 per cent of lime; 1.53 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 0.08 per cent of potash. 16044. Wood Ashes. Submitted by Elmer Bowe, Newport, N. J. It was claimed to contain 5.50 per cent of potash. It contained 56.96 per cent of lime; 0.17 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 0.48 per cent of potash. 16048. Wood Ashes. Submitted by Morris Feinstein, Bridgeton, N. J. This sample contained 55.97 per cent of lime; 0.26 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 0.45 per cent of potash. Information was received that the above samples, Nos. 16044 and 16048, represented material that was being sold in the southern sec- tion of this state for about $19.00 per ton. An inspector was imme- diately sent to investigate and to collect official samples of the material. In accordance with the instructions, information was secured that W. H. Leidy, Swarthmore, Pa., was selling the material and two official samples were secured. Sample 16442 was taken from the stock of I. Serata & Sons, Bridgeton, N. J., and it contained 57.14 per cent of lime; 0.15 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 0.17 per cent of potash. The second sample, No. 16448, was taken from the stock of James Davis, Bridgeton, N. J., and it contained 56.10 per cent of lime; 0.15 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 0.24 per cent of potash. All of the results show that the material was only a little better than a good grade of limestone. All pf the parties known to be interested were notified of the condition and the sellers were advised 34 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station to withdraw the material from our markets. The county demon- strator was also given the information in order that he might advise the farmers in his section regarding the value of the material. At a later date it was impossible to secure any evidence that additional shipments of the material had been received. 16045. Marl. Submitted by South Jersey Farmers’ Exchange, Woodstown, N. J.

AGRICULTURAL LIME The law entitled “An Act to Regulate the Sale of Agricultural Lime” became effective on January 1, 1914. The essential features of this law, briefly stated, are : 1. Registration of the brand name and guarantees that will be attached to the materials as sold. 2. The constituents that must be guaranteed. 3. The name and address of the party responsible for the ma- terial. 4. The official inspection of the materials offered for sale. Registrations During the past year 43 manufacturers registered 87 different brands of agricultural lime. The names and addresses of those who have registered their products are: Bulletin 303 37 Acme Stone & Pulverizing Co Lebanon, Pa. American Agricultural Chemical Co New York City. J. E.

Charles Warner Co Wilmington, Del. Whitemarsh Lime Works Philadelphia, Pa. The Guaranteed Composition The law states the specific form which must be used in stating the guaranteed composition of the various forms of lime and consists of : 1. The minimum and maximum percentage of total lime. 2. The minimum and maximum percentage of total magnesia. 3. The minimum percentage of lime and magnesia combined as carbonates. During the past there has been more or less confusion caused by a misunderstanding as to the meaning of the guarantees required. The term “total lime” means total calcium oxide (CaO). The term “total magnesia’’ means total magnesium oxide (MgO). The term ““lime and magnesia combined as carbonates” means the total amount 38 New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station of calcium and magnesium oxides present in the material that is combined with carbonic acid and is ascertained by determining the percentage of carbonic acid. It does not mean the total lime (CaO) and the total magnesia (MgO) calculated to their equivalents ex- pressed as carbonate of lime. Since the value of a lime product depends upon the total lime and magnesia present, the value of the first and second guarantees is apparent. The value of the third guarantee when given with the first and second, is in the statement which shows whether the con- tent of the active constituents is in the form as found in a limestone or in the form of a burned lime. Limestones are variable in composition, some containing only lime in the form of carbonate of lime in addition to the usual impurities, while others contain carbonate of lime and carbonate of magnesia. In both classes the active constituents are in the form of carbonates. Freshly burned lime does not contain a very large quantity of carbonic acid if the burning has been carefully regulated. The burned lime, however, absorbs carbonic acid from the air and in time it is possible that all of the lime present will be in the same form as in the original limestone. The interpretation of a guarantee may be more clearly explained by the use of two typical guarantees. Let it be assumed that the following information is attached to materials that are offered : Brand No. 1 % Brand No. 2 % Total lime Total magnesia Lime and magnesia combined as carbonates 29 to 31 17 to 19 46 53 to 55 37 to 39 2 A glance at the guarantee of Brand No. 1 will show that the mini- mum content of lime and magnesia is 46 per cent. Without any other information these figures might be caused by the material be- ing of low grade, but the third guarantee informs us that all of the lime and magnesia is in the form of carbonate and as such is a good representative of its class. The material, consequently, has the same value as a ground limestone of the same composition and mechanical condition. Brand No. 2, represents a good burned lime since the guarantees show at least 90 per cent of lime and magnesia and only a comparatively small quantity of carbonates. Inspection During the past season 35 samples of various lime products were received and examined. The results of these examinations are given in the following tabulations.
