How % manage EEs Potato Bug.


The following method of effectually
destroying the Colorado beetle which is
again annoying the farmers of Carbon
and adjoining counties to considerable
extent, is given by correspondent to
one of the leading agricultural journals
in the country. 1t will be found to be
of particular interest to farmers and
truckers hereabout, and may assist them
materially in the gradual determination
OF the pests referred to.
The potato beetle is abroad in the land and
the cry is. What shall be done to eXterminate
this pest and save the potato crop from destruc-
toni The present crop of beetles is simply
enormous even at this early day; and as the
tubers appear above the ground an army of
these foul beetles from Colorado stand ready to
devour the plant. Some means must be devils
ed TO make their destruction certain, or the
whole crop OF potatoes will be destroyed. My
plan for treating them is thls-and II any one
has better one let him hasten to give the in.
formation to the world and prove himself
benetactOr to his race.

and thicken 1t over the fire with rye or wheat
