Potatoes as aFiald Crop.

The depretations of the Colorado po-
tata beetle have hsdL the effect of & Is
couraging the planting of potatoes as a
field crop, in nIaay instances. TO this,

may be attributed the present scarcity
and consequent high price of potatoes

who have continued to plant as, in
former years, and have used due. wig

have reaped a Just and ample reward.
The Western Rural has. not failegl, here
with which the Colorado bettle and its
iarv@ may be Kept under, SO that, rs a
rule, the crop will not be seriously
damaged. 1t is by taking them in sea-
son, and not permitting them to bree l.
The experience by which this has been
suceessfu accomplished, is worth re-

Appear, the beetles, which have hyber-
mated during the winter, come forth t,
propagate their species, and often col
lect on the extra early crop in great
lnuhiberse The easiest way We nave
ever found tostake care of .fliemsattiiis

them into pans OF other suitable YES
Isels. A little practice will enable any
fboy or girl to do tEis quickly after
which they may be, killed with .kaIo-
sene, or in other ways most practicable.
Later in the season, during the annilai
