One Great Securge Of the
Irish Potato Crop.
now TO DESTROY THE PEST

Remedy Nest Generally Used In
Treating For These Insects Is to
Spray the Plants as Soon as First
Grubs Hatch.
In its adult stage the Colorado Po-
tato Beetle is about one half an inch
long. rounded, very convex, almost
hemispherical in fact, and is distin-
gulshed from any other insect that
might answer to this description by
the striped color, and the fact that
the dark stripes are always exactly
ten in number. These beetles appear
early In the spring, soon after the po'
tato plants have started their growth,
but though they do some damage di-
rectly. it is to their young, the reddish,
ieshy bugs" that the bulk of the in
jury is due. These are Matched from
groups of orange yellow eggs that will
be found soon after the appearance of
the parent beetles, which deposit them
on the under side of the potato leaves
or on other plants that chance to be
growing in the immediate vicinity. 1t
is usually the appearance of these
bugs" in serious numbers that first
calls the attention of the grower to
the fact that something must be done
to save the crop.

Of small holes must be punched. Near
the top of the can two large holes are
10 be made in opposite sides which
will allow the passage of stick two
or three feet long to serve as handle,
which has a large nail driven through
one end to prevent the can from slip
ping off. The Paris green is first
stirred into eight or ten times it's
bulk OF plaster or cheap -four, and
placed in the perforated can. The
apparatus is then held over the plant
by the operator, who, with second
short stick, hits gently on that which
is made to serve as a handle, and thus
causes a small portion of the poisoned
mixture to be Jared cut Much
depends on the judgment of the oper-
ator in this method, as the plant
should only be very slightly busted,
and the heaviness of the jar required
depends entirely on the size of the
perforations, and the fneness of the
-four.
In this connection it may be men
toned that very effectual fight may
be waged against this pest by poison
ing the beetles as soon as they appear
in the spring, or if labor is cheap, by
having them collected by children. By
these means few eggs will be laid, and
the trouble will be prevented from the
start.

frequently asked of this office just
what portions of the state are infested,

appear in localities at present free.
In order to obtain more complete
knowledge on this subject, it has been
decided to ask any one who has had
any opportunity for servation to

questions;

Remedies.

The remedy most generally used in
treating for these insects consists in
the spraying of the plants as soon as
the first grubs begin to hatch, with
some poisonous substance, usually Par.
is green mixed with water. Several
other compounds have been put on the
market which are equally effective,
and perhaps possess some advantage
over that named. Among them may
be mentioned Arsenate Of Lead, either
as sold by Chas. Warren Davis, Au.
gusta, Ga, under the name Of Swift's
Arsenate of Lead, or by John B. Dan.
lei, Atlanta, Ca, under the trade name
OF Disparene, which seem to possess
certain advantages over the Pass
green in f1nenesS and adhering DUAL.
tiles. AT rule, however, compounds
put up in packages and sold for these
purposes under fancy names should be
looked upon with considerable suspi.
cion, as they are often nothing more
than Paris green or some other well
known insecticide adulterated with
some worthless material, in order that
a greater bulk may be sold for the
same price, and at the same time leave
a handsome margin to the "manufac.
turer."
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1902-06-12
Spraying.


In the application of these sub
stances one ounce of the Paris green
or a somewhat larger quantity of the
Arsenate of Lead or Disparene should
be weighed out for each six gallons OF
water that is to be used, and this
should be thoroughly wet or stirred up
with small quantity of water before
being diluted. The spraying will have
to be done, if the field is one of con.
siderable extent, by means of a spray
pump, of which a great many forms
are manufactured and sold, and of
which the chief requisite perhaps is
the attachment of thorough agitator.
The poison sinks rapidly through the
water, in which it is not dissolved but
only suspended, and unless thoroughly
stirred will be applied in very uneven
strength and some damage may re.
suit. 1t is not necessary that a very
thorough application be made. as is
the case when spraying for scale in.
sects. etc.. since the young grubs col
lect, as soon as Matched, on the
more tender portions of the growing
plants and are pretty certain to be
reached by the poison if these merely
are sprayed. 1t is very often necessary
that two or more applications be made.
as the young Matched from eggs laid
after a plant is sprayed may find suf.
f1cient food on the shoots, that have
grown after the application Of the poi.
son, and will not on that account be af.
fected by it, at least, not until all the
tenderer portions are eaten away. and
a good deal of damage done.
In small patches, as in a garden,
where potatoes are not raised for the
market, and in which cases it often
happens that the owner has no suit.
able pump, some other means may be
used for the application of the poison.
A god way is to mix a small teaspoon.
full of the Paris green into q bucket.
full of water, and by means of whisk
broom, or even a whisp of straw on
a stick which is stirred about in the
bucket and then shaken over the plant,
a very good job on a small scale may
be done. The use of the small com.
pressed air pumps that are quite com.
monty used in spraying whitewash or
disinfectants is not recommended.
There is no proper means provided for
sufficient agitation, and unless the
pump is constantly shaken to insure
the continued mixture of the poison,
very poor results may be expected.
Some growers prefer to apply the
poison in dry form, and this method
has certain advantages over the spray.

One hundred years ago today
the leading residents Of the town

anthracite coal as fuel. The
winter was severe, and rumors
having reached the town that

was decided to try it. AT first
the landlord OF the tavern
hesitated, owing to the expense
incurred IN building a fireplace,
but after several friends voIun-
Ueered TO stand their share, Mr..
Fell consented. A CRATE was
built and most of the notable per

the tavern to see the event. which
was successful beyond their
most sanguine expectations, MIR.
Fell and his companions circled
eagerly about the new fireplace,
piled wood upon the bottom OF

awhile some OF the coal was seen
to fall apart, but the greater
