PoTATo BUGS. "A citizen of Baltimore, who
has been for several years in an agricultural
district Of Ohio, brings accounts of the damage
done by the Colorado bug, whose ravages are
each year extending further eastward. Last
year, in many parts of Ohio and Indiana, these
bugs were SO numerous that a peck ofthcm could
be picked by person in single evening
Ii Il potato top WAS shaken, hundreds of the
bugs would drop off. and lying on the ground
would feign death until they considered the
danger passed, when they would rush on the
potato vines again, and resume their voracious
practices. This gentleman says that he knows
of no insect that is as difficult to destroy as
these bugs After remaining twelve hours in
alcohol they will be still alive Some that were
placed in boiled tobacco water, and left there
for an entire day, were found willing to cut
potato vines as soon as they were set at liberty.
