Red Spider and Aphid Pest Control Tips for Roses and Peas
The article recommends using 3 percent aromite dust or 325 mesh sulphur to kill red spiders and aphids on roses and other plants. Wettable sulphur spray also works, with repeated treatment as eggs hatch. It notes aphids can spoil buds and leaves, and mentions a bi-district 4-H clothing school in Richmond May 9–13 plus Rural Life Sunday observances on May 15 1955 and the history of Rural Life Sunday linked to 4-H since 1936.
