Some of our subscribers have aske,
that we again publish the potato bui
remedy" Paris green seems to be tn
poison most recommended for the de
struction of the pest. 1t may be ap
piled in either of the two ways mention
ed: Mix it with water. heaping tea
spoonful with ten quarts of water, an
apply to the vines with a sprinkler o
an old broom. The second method, an
the one most approved, is to mix it i
-four in the proportion of one part G
green to fifteen parts of -four. This i
to be sifted on to the vines through
gauze bag. or through pail, the bottor
of which is covered with wire scree
cloth, or punched full of holes. The POI
soned flour is to be shaken upon tn
vines when they are wet with dew G
rain. Our experience with the bug show
that very little of the green, if we
applied, will rid the vines entirely
bugs. We recommend the early appl
cation of the poison, by the -four metl
ed, while the vines are small, so that
little poison will completely cover ii
stops" and kill off the first crop of bus
that appear. Later in the season anotl
er dose of green may be req uired.
