DESTROY THE POTATO BUGS.
How to Get Rid of These Destructive

For the family potato patch the
quickest way is to hand pick the old

when torpid early in the morning. One
bug, it is said, will lay several hun

there will be few worms. When the
young worms are found in the heart

to dust with paris green and plaster
One tablespoonful Of pure paris green
mixed in one peck of dry plaster will
be enough to dust one-quarter of an
