BUGS FIGHT FOR FARMERS.
A New Ally That Exterminates the
Destroyers of Potatoes.

FROM Ju6 Gnllduelpnla RECORD.
Reading, Pa, June 24-At last bug
has arrived which Is a friend of the
farmer. This stranger of the insect
world is not only a friend, but it has
begun war of determination upon the
farmers most relentless foe, the potato
bug. The debut of this little beast has
sent thrill of JOY from one end of Berks
county to the other. No more paris green
to sprinkle upon potato tops, no more
poisoned meal to feed the pests, and no
more crops devoured in midsummer by
the hungry hOrDes of potato bugs.
Jonn Rothermel, of Hyde Park, first
encountered this noble little ally of the
agricultuTist, and when first seen it was
slaughtcring potato bugs at the rate of
ten a minute The genial hotel proprie-
tor and farmer had a paris green kettle
in his hand ut the time He stopped
sprinkling and gazed. Before him was a
bug OF a species never seen by the Berks
countain before. 1t was twice as large
as a potato bug, of longer and Sigh ter
build and had red wings This bug
would pounce upon clumsy potato eater,
sting it in the neck and produce a corpse
almost instantly Then Rothermel look
ed about and saw other creatures of the
same kind, ana all were killing potato
bugs. So fierce and untiring were they
in their onslaught that not a living pota-
to bug was left in their path.
They piled the ground with little win
rows of their slain victims They went
down rows of potato vines and from one
row to another with force that was ire
sistible to the potato bug. The latter were
swept TO death before their strange foe as
Napoleons columns cleaned the field of
Austcrlitz. Since Mr.. Rothermel made
this important discovery, other farmers
I have seen the new bugs in their fields.
/ They are absolute exterminators of DO
tato bugs, and best Of all they do not eat
/ the crop. Farmers not yet visited by
1 these new allies will colonize them in
/ their potato patches IL is expected that
/ this bug win have the effect of producing
/ a uig yield OF potatoes.
