ance the farmer is pretty sure to find
out that an unwelcome visitor has
called upon him. The full-grown bug
is about eve-eighths Of an inch long,

ochre-yellow beneath. When roughly

vines this insect is not infrequently
found attacking melon and pumpkin
vines. The bugs puncture the tissue
with their stout beaAs, inject a drop

finally die, thus causing much more
harm than the mere loss of sap. Near
" all parts of the plant are liable to
attack. Even the fruit does not escape.
In the fall the bugs leave the vines,
