The festive potato bug, according
to the estinformation on the subject,
bound to deyastate the potato patches
during the coming season in manner
fearful to contemplate. Fred. Kauf-
man, who is authority on bugs, says
he recently dug down in the potato
patch of last summer, on Judge Dale's
place, and found the earth, about a
foot from the surface, literally swarm
ing with these detested bugs. He
thinks there is no manner Of doubt
but the bugs will be more numerous
this season in the proportion Of about
a thousand to one than they were last
summer. In this connection, John
Peterson, of. Trunkeyville, says he
sprinkled salt brine between the rows
Of his potatoes last summer and the
wicked bugs left his vines entirely
alone. This is simple remedy, and
if it will save the potato crop of For
est county this year, we will think
that John Peterson and ourself have
done our country a service; and, botl
being patriotic, though upon different
sides Of the house polite, we ask moth
ing hetier than to be allowed, to dc
our country a good turn. r-a
