The harlequin beetle is not so prev
alent this year as last. He is a bug,
when fully grown, that is little larger
than the Colorado beetle. 1t has dark
green stripes on its back and attacks
mustard, radishes, cabbage plants,
and other garden vegetables. In dry
years it is very destructive. We I'M
derstand it is a native of Mexico,
which has dry climate. 1t began to
migrate to the north about the time
the local option wave swept over the
country. 1t is said to be difficult to
exterminate without injuring the plants
on which it feeds. Why not try the
effect whiskey would have on it?
