Spring Sprays for Plant Lice,

The best time to kill the plant lice
infesting orchard trees and shrubbery
is Just before the buds open in the
spring. Experience has proved the
lime sulphur sprays to be especially
good for the destruction of the lice and
their eggs at this time.
The best strength to use is the fol-
lowing: Good lump lime, l5 pounds;
flowers of sulphur, II pounds; water,
so gallons. To prepare this mixture
first slake the lime in a small quantity
of water. using enough to keep the
shaking lime thoroughly wet. When
the lime is pretty well slaked. put in
the sulphur and add as much more
water as is necessary to keep the
whole of the consistency of thin cream.
tanning the mixture over the fire and
boil for forty-five minutes, or until the
liquid is Of deep reddish brown color
Then, dilute to so gallons, and apply at
once. If the mixture should become
cold, crystals will form and weaken
the insecticide for the destruction of
the lice and their eggs. By heating it
again until the crystals are dissolved it
will be as good as before. This spray
should not be used if the leaves are
out.
If one does not have lime and sulphur
at hand and can use Black Leaf, it may
be substituted, using it before the buds
open, in the proportion of one gallon
of the dip to each so gallons of water.
If the buds have opened so as to expose
the leaf surfaces, then use the Black
Leaf in the proportion of one gallon to
IS or 10 gallons of water. The stronger
mixture is for the purpose of destroy
ing the eggs that may not have Matched
when the spraying is done before the
buds open.
Kerosene Emulsion of the ordinary
strength Oils oiD is an effectual spray
for the destruction of lice that have
hatched; but it is useless for the de-
struction of the eggs. These applica-
tions will also destroy the red spiders
and brown miles that may be upon the
trees when the treatments are made.

Alfalfa and Potatoes.

Said landowner in our valley the
other day: Il have no doubt there
may be good money in fruit. sugar
beets and other crops, but have the
land l own in alfalfa and potatoes and
am entirely satisfied with my profits.
II live in the East, you know, and
get $40 to $50 an acre from each of
these crops. They are easy to rotate,
when rotation is necessary, and know
just what my land is doing and what to
expect from it. p"
There is no doubt but that this man S
view is a philosophic one and, as he ex-
plains, entirely satisfactory to himself,
yet alfalfa and potatoes, while gener-
ally sure things, should not satisfy
everybody, else other paying crops
would be neglected. And this is not
likely to be the case, so long as hun
dreds of dollars per acre can be CLEANED
from apples, peaches, small fruits,
vegetables, melons, beets, etc. As an
investment alfalfa and potatoes pay,
and should be raised, but the same is
true of the other crops. They must all
have their share of attention.

The Potato Flea Beetle.

A tiny beetle measuring about a
twentieth of an inch in length has
been responsible for many thousand
dollars damage to potatoes in differ
ent parts of the State
The adult beetles appear in early
summer and eat tiny, round holes in
the leaves of potatoes, tomatoes, and
similar plants. Sometimes tie injury
to the tops is so severe that the plants
are killed outright.
The most serious difficulty, however,
comes from the eggs which are laid
by the beetles. These hatch into tiny,
white grubs which live in the root
stocks and on the potatoes while the
latter are still in the ground. The
grubs cut off the stocks which bear
tubers causing them to be rough and
unsightly for market.
The best remedies known at present
are rotation of crops and spraying the
vines with Bordeaux mixture. The
beetles do not appear on new ground
and are less numerous on ground
which has been in some other crop.
Bordeaux mixture is distasteful to the
beetles and appears to drive them
away from the vines.
Much remains yet to be learned
about the best methods for controlling
the pest. 1t may takes years of care
full study to arrive at the proper solu-
tion of the problem. The Colorado
Agricultural College is well equipped
to undertake this work and is anxious
to do the work for the benefit of the
farmers. Investigations and expert
ments require considerable funds which,
to the present time, have not been
available.

collect upon the roots, it may kill the

Whenever arsenical sprays are used
upon trees, care should be taken not to
allow the liquid to collect and soak in

Use Pure Insecticides.

The horticultural inspection bill which
was passed by the Colorado General
Assembly, in 1907, contained clause
regulating the sale of insecticide ma
terials. The law read as follows:
1T shall be deemed a violation of
this act for any one to sell in Colorado
insecticide poisons such as Paris green,
London purple. white arsenic, arsenate
of lead, arsenate of soda, acetate of
lead, cyanide of potassium, hellebore,
pyrethrum powder. and the like. that
are diluted or mixed with other sub
stances, unless the kind and amount
of the adultersnts or mixtures are
conspicuously printed in plain English
upon each and every package sold.
Upon each and every package of white
arsenic, arsenate of soda, acetate of
lead and cyanide of potassium. sold in
this state the percentage of guaranteed
purity must be plainly marked. and on
all packages of arsenate or arsenite of
lead the amount of water must be
guaranteed"
Anyone buying insecticides in Colo
RADIO should see to it that each package
is of guaranteed purity as required by
the above statute. Much injury has
been done in the past to orchard trees
and other plants because of the applica-
ton of spray mixtures that were not
properly made. Especially has this

year ago the growers of cabbage
plants suffered severe losses from the
ravages of flee beetles which ate little
round holes in the seed leaves causing
them to slrivel aud the plants to die.
The beetles causing this injury are
tiny, black insects, which have the
habit of dropping to the ground, or
jumping from the plants when dis
turbed. They delight in bright sun
shine and the most severe injury is
done on warm, sunny days.
Turnips and radishes are also at
tackled. Some years it is almost i'm
possible to get stand of these vege-
tables.
In the open garden some relief can
be obtained by busting the leaves of
the young plants with air-slacked lime.
or better, with insect powder. The
latter remedy is rather expensive,
but very good one in small garden
patches.
When cabbage plants are raised in
beds, either in hot beds or the garden,
the beetles may be kept from them by
the use of screens made from cheese
cloth. A light wooden frame should
be made extending about two feet
above the surface of the bed. The
cheese cloth is stretched over this, ex-
tending to the ground on all sides.
The edges that touch the ground may
be lightly covered with earth to pre-
vent the beetles from finding their
way beneath. Tie cost of this method
of protection will be in the neighbor-
hood of twenty cents for each thou
sand plants raised.
