interrupted in the middle of q

impatience said: al can't help IL,

From the forthcoming Report of the State
Agricultural Board of Michigan.
If any one should doubt that this
late conner among our pests takes
first rank as an enemy to our field
crops, he would only need to glance
at the market columns of any of
our journals to become speedily
convinced of his error. What sig
nifies the fact that potatoes are
quoted, and have been for the past
two or three years, even in the
rural journals, at 81 and upwards
per bushel, unless 1t means that
the potato beetle is fast converting
a common article of diet into q
luxuryl Nay, more, it asserts that
even known remedies are slow of
application. Though in this case
we have very cheap and perfec-
tive remedy, still actual observa-
ton and the high price of potatoes
prove that barely half our farmers
make use of it. There can be no
doubt that should this article in
duce all orr farmers to "fight the
potato-bee tie by the most approved
METHOD" it would add at least
100000 to the wealth Of our State
the coming year.
e HISTORY.
The history of the beetle is that
it is native Of Colorado, where it
was discovered, named and de-
scribed by Say, many years ago !;
how on a bridge Of potato vines it
infested our western states less
than Q score of years since, and
from thence spread rapidly east
ward, till now it has actually gain
ed our Atlantic Coast, where it only
awaits opportunity to take passage
for Europe, where it will continue.
its dreaded ravages in the green
fields Of the Emerald Isle, e,--all this
is already well-known.
NATURAL HISTORY.
The natural history Of the pota-
to-beetle is also familiar to most of
our farmers. 1t comes forth out of
the earth, as q beetle, just as the
potato vines are peering from the
ground. Sometimes as the crea-
ture stands over the Hill Is seems
fairly to grin in expectant longing,
for the rich, tender feasts which
nature Is about to spread. With
the coming Of warm days the fe-
male lays her clusters Of orange
eggs sometimes to the number of q
thousand,-a single beetle which l
confined laid over eleven hundred
eggs,-either on the under side OF
the leaves of the potato vines, or
on blades of grass or other vegeta-
bles near by.
These soon hatch, when the
voune or lar@ are found to eat
unite as voraciously as the mature
beetle. In about fifteen days the
voupu become fully developed,
when they pass into the ground to
pupate. After about ten days oil

WILL THEY REMAIN WITH Us?
1t is hoped by many that these
incorrigible pests will not be long
among US, reasoning from analogy,
as many insects Qike the Hessian
fly have been quite as destructive
for a time, and then have almost
entirely vanished. We may rea-
sonably hope that the insect enc
mics of this beetle, which are rap
idly increasing, will lessen its
number yearly; but that we shall
ever be rid of it is reckoning with
out our host. 1t will probably re-
main with us for all time, though
as its natural enemies become more
numerous they will doubtless hold
it in check, so that some years the
evil will be very slight. Still it is
safe to conclude that we shall have
to be ever ready to give it battle,
and well may we be grateful that
such efficient weapons are at our
command.
REMEDIES.
Inasmuch as Paris green is so
practical, so efficient, and SO cheap
a remedy for this pest, I shall in
this place do what every farmer
had better do on his farm,---ignore
all other means, such as picking,
machinery, ETC., as too expensive
and not sufficiently thourough.
With little care, Paris green-the
genuine article of course-is en-
tirely safe, and we may well well
come the change of its use from
our beautiful green-tinted wall-pa-
pers where its poisonous exhalation
have long gendered disease and
death, to the richer green of our
potato fields. c
The two methods which have
been tried at the college, with the
best success asto economy, are eth
er to mix the green with water,
a heaping tablespoonful to ten
quarts Of the fluid, and sprikle on
on with q common sprinkler or an
old broom; or to mix the green
with -four in the proportion Of one
part Of green to six Of flour, sifted
on when there is no dew on the
vines, either through q muslin bag
to a convenient handle,
that it may be carried and shaken
over the vines, the person making
The application walking upright, or
with a pail, the bottom being Of
fine wire gauze or finely perforated
tin. Where these methods are
used the whole expense per acre,
Tor both material and cost of ap-
plication, will not exceed s5 for
the season. ruI tsl sla

mixture are ease, salty, even with
the careless, and rapidity of ap-
plication, and that too, even, if the
day is windy. Its Disadvantages
are waste of material, as nearly
one-third the water does not touch
the vines, and of course is lost I;
danger of not stirring the mixture
sufficiently often, when the green,
being only held in suspension, not
dissolved, settles to the bottom,
and the preparation becomes too
dilute ease with which the green
when thus applied is washed off by
heavy rains and the danger of
not applying evenly, as the powder
suspended in the water is amassed
wherever the drops of water settle.
After careful experiment, / have
found the -four mixture preferable
to all other preparations. The
flour makes them adhere to the
vines, so that the heaviest rain is
powerless to remove it. No second
application is needed till enlarged
growth of vines demand it. l make
the mixture strong,--one of powder
to six of fluor,-so that in making
the application we need add only
just enough of the mixture that
we may be able to see it on the
vines. / have thus been enabled
to safely apply this mixture even
to our tender melon and cucumber
vines. l would not apply it when
the dew is on, as the application
will be more even if the vines are
dry, and with the strength recon-
mended above, will always prove
effectual. / think this is the most
economical method yet recon-
mended. BY using the -four mix
ture have found that two applica-
tions are always sufficient for our
early varieties, and frequently for
later ones, and three applications
are in any case all that are needed
even In seasons of heaviest rains.
ENEMIES.
! might enumerate and describe
the score or more of natural ene-
mics, birds and insects, which at
tack and destroy this potato beetle
but as they will not for long, if
ever, make the use of Paris green
unnecessary, and as this article is
only to deal with practicle prob
lens, / will omit this interesting
part of the subject. Now, will not
all who read this article
PRACTICE THIS REMEDY,
and thus make a blessing out of a
curse I For if, by expending So
per acre, we can save our crop,
and get, as Is true all over the
state, so cents more per bushel
than in anti-beetle days, we shall
surely sustain the paradox of be-,
ing indebted to a sore enemy for
an increased profit of $40 per acre
on our potato crop. How peril
nent the following from H. Voorhees,
Of Ottawa county, in the New York
Tribune u5. ff
al see now how might have
made much money; for the price
of potatoes has doubled. ! find
the cost of applying Paris green is
not more than s5 an acre, and it
Is q sure remedy. Yet there are
those right here who spend so
days labor, manipulating per acre"
Is not the Detroit Tribune quite
right in saying that no one has any
moral right to neglect insect pests
and thus bring evil TO others I.
