THE SQUASH BUG.
The Usual Remedies Include Hand
Picking, Spraying and Trapping.


There is still need of better remedy
than those usually advised to prevent
loss from the squash bug. In seasons
of ordinary occurrence hand picking
and trapping can be used to good effect,
but when the insects are In very large
numbers all remedies seem insufficient.
The usual remedies are:
Hand picking early in the season of
the old bugs when they first resort to
the plants and also of the easily seen
egg clusters. This requires an inspec-
ton of the vines every day or two.
The young bugs may be easily destroy
ed with a spray of kerosene emulsion
or of whale oil soap. This work is
made much easier if few hills of the
ordinary squash are planted among
melons, cucumbers, etc, so that they
appear above the ground about week
before the crop. The squashes being
more attractive, the bugs collect upon
them, where they may be destroyed
easily.
Trapping-This consists of placing
at intervals through the plantation
shingles or pieces Of board, beneath
which the bugs gather for shelter. BY
examining these every morning many
may be captured In a season when
the bugs have been abundant, all vines
should be burned as soon as the crop
has been gathered. In this way many
of the insects In all stages of develop
ment will be destroyed.

Americans Abroad.

The mere fact of an American citizen
taking a trip abroad or residing there
for a short period does not deprive a
native born citizen Of this country Of
his citizenship. nor does he lose the
right to the protection of this govern
ment by so doing. II he abandons his
residence here, he loses his right to
vote just as If he moved TO another
state. but acquires 1t again by return
ing to this country. Nearly all the ma
tons on the globe claim the right of
authority over native born citizens of
their own countries even after those
citizens have acquired citizenship else
where-that is, if native Russian
comes here and is naturalized, then re-
turns to Russia for a visit, the Russian
government might compel him to do
army service despite his American citi-
zenship. This principle was embodied
In the famous expression "once an Eng
lshman, always an Englishman," so
much quoted during the war of 1872
