By F. H. Hillman. Pp. 4. Illustrated. Mr. Hillman finds that the cherry slug (Selandria cerasi) is coming to be very destructive in Western Nevada. He recommends a spray of London purple or Paris green if the fruit is not near maturity. Dusting the trees with any dry powder, as lime or road dust, is useful, although the slugs have a provoking habit of shedding their skins and leaving the dust on their old garments. But tobacco, hellebore and buhach (Pyrethrum) were found to be good remedies. "A double handful of refuse tobacco was boiled, and the decoction diluted to form eight or ten gallons. A tablespoonful of white hellebore to five gallons of water, and the same amount of buhach in the same amount of water, were separately sprayed upon different trees, resulting in each case in the death of nearly all the slugs. A second application took them all. These being vegetable compounds, no injury to the foliage is at all likely to result, which is not always true in the use of inorganic compounds".
