POTATO LEAF T. BY FLEA BEETLES.
made Of the a%rsenites. Halsted has
found that the bordeaux mixture alone
may more effectively protect plants
against this beetle than does the poi
soning with paris green. This is of
course attributable to it's action as a
deterrent. The bordeaux paris green
mixture is more effective than is paris
green alone.
Flea beetles frequently cause more
loss to the potato than do the potato
beetles. This is largely because their
attacks are most severe at or soon aft
er the critical period in the develop
ment of the potato. When badly eaten
at this time, especially If the weather
ts dry, the plant never RECEIVERS. Ar
senical poisons alone do not afford ade-
quate protection. The combination Of
a%rsenites with bordeaux mixture does
serve to keep off these pests. Expe-
Renee has also shown that bordeaux
mixture alone is sufficient protection
In practice.
It is necessary to make several appli-
cations OF a~rsenical poisons to the po-
tato plant during June and July in or
der to give protection against the pota-
to beetle. The commercial prepara-
lions used, paris green, london purple,
etc., are largely insoluble. A small
per cent of soluble arsenious acid is
always present, however. This poison
rarely penetrates the uninjured cpl
dermis to do harm, but serious damage
often results when it comes in contact
with mutilated tissues, such as insect
injuries, rents in the leaf, etc. The
tissue die and blacken for some dis
lance about such spots.
The full benefits from arsenical poi
sons can be obtained with lighter ap-
plications Of arsenites than usually are
made and such as will cause little or
no injury (e. g., / pound in 100 to 200
gallons water. The slight remaining
danger is eliminated when lime is add
ed to the arsenite or when, as is pref
cradle, the arsenite is applied in bor-
deaux mixture. In such cases the solu-
BILE arsenious acid is made insoluble by
the lime and SO rendered harmless.
''Tip burn" is characterized by the
death Of the potato leaves at their tips
and margins, which portions dry
blacken and roll up or break of. This
trouble occurs during the dry hot
weather of midsummer. Tip burn is
not caused by parasitic fungi. IT is at
tributed to unfayorable weather condi-
tons surrounding the plant, with In
sufficient water supply. As proven
ton, efforts should be made to sustain
the general vigor Of the plants. The
only thing that can be done In addi-
tion is to irrigate in times Of extreme
drought Irrigation OF potatoes Is rare

THE DEFENSE
OF PETERS
ATTORNEY WINES OUTLINED 1T
IN COURT FOR JURY THIS
AFTERNOON.
SAID A BLOW ON THE HEAD
WOULD KILL OR CRAZE HIM.
Grounds for Opposition to Colby's At
tentions to Miss Hopkins-Char-
acter Afidavits.

M. 1. Wine made the opening statement
Tor the defense in the Peters murder case
this afternoon. Among other things, Mr..
Peters was a gentleman Of irreproachable
character; that if he received the slightest
blow upon the head It would be worse than
death: that when he was a nttle boy his
rather advised him to under no circum-
stances engage in any sport or anything
else that would be likely to result in q blow
tainly kill him or drive him crazy. He ex-
Pected to show that Colby. on the other
nand, ,r was a mar man .% whose physical ability
in the state of Montana. He would drive
from the minds of the jurors the intimation
lance Of Colby and the sister of Mrs.
Peters; that Peters, as an honorable man
and the natural protector of his wife's
throw about Miss Hopkins the proper safe
guard for her own protection; he would
show that Colby had been married twice
that he had been married three times; and
that Peters had simply objected to his open
attentions to Miss ',npkins on this ground.
We will further show" said he, that
his wife's sister was a Catholic and that
Colby was not g Catholic, and that he
wanted hat matter Strengthened out be-
between them on this score. We will show
you mat Peters, on the night Of the stab
R Sa"s, e a,m give e eo3by N -. H %e Mill she show wo yoa
that ne was walking away from where he
thought Colby was, and we will then show
you that when he did not get off the side
walk in time to avoid Colby. the latter
word of warming, and followed it with an
other. We will show you that after stab
bling Colby. the prisoner came into this
building for the PURPOSE Of giving himself
up, but. hiding no one save the janitor,
left and went to the city jail. We feel that
II we show you, all these things you will
say that justice has been statistical
The testimony opened with a deposition
made by Wallace A. Mckay, an attorney
OF Louisville, Ky. In the document the de-
poser stated that he had known Peters
since 1884 and had always found him an
honorable, peaceable and generous young
man.
Portions Of the dispositions were objected
to by the state, and the court sustained it.
Inc parts thrown out contained reference
to personal or Individual friendship mat
tiers.
Charles p. Weaver, mayor of Louisville,
also submitted a deposition in which he
said Peters reputation in that section had
been good.
AS court business is not conducted the
same In Montana as it is in Louisville. a
portion of Mr.. Weaver's deposition met the
same fate as the objectionable part of that
of Mr.. Mckay.
