CeLoRApo Bga.-The Colorado
Potato Bug Is dong great damage
in Morgan county as we'll IS else
where. We have heard of many
meals of getting rid of them, am
ongst which are prominent the use
of Paris Green and also the use of
water in which Tobacco stems have
been soaked. We have seen Paris
Green used. and must confess that
it is not advisable to use 1t. 1t not
only kills the bues, but also the
potatoes Those who have used the
off Of Tobacco stems tell US
that the bugs are completely ami
hilated by it, also that it ac:s as a
manure TO the potatoes, masking
them more vigorous and henlthful
in appearance than is usual. It
generally takes two or three appll-
rations of the tobacco water to do
the work. The manner of aPplica.
by those we know have tried
it here, is by means of q gardeners
watering pot.

lIshment and disappointment, the
