For Soft-bodied Sucking Insects
| Kerosene Emulsion | |
|---|---|
| Hard soap (in fine shavings) | ½ lb. |
| Soft water | 1 gal. |
| Kerosene | 2 gal. |
Dissolve soap in boiling water, add kerosene to the hot water, churn with spraying pump for at least ten minutes, until the mixture changes to a creamy, then to a soft, butterlike, mass. This gives three gallons of 66-per-cent oil emulsion, which may be diluted to the strength desired. To get 15-per-cent oil emulsion add ten and one-half gallons of water.
