MORE POTATO BUGS
NOW THAN POISON
Farmers Report That the Pest Is
More Troublesome Than for Years
Which Means Much Work.

Farmers of Maine are facing at the
present time rather a peculiar condi
tion of affairs. With their potato croI
threatened with destruction from po
tato bugs and other insects, they fine
that they are unable to get Paris
green, which Is almost universally
used to rid the plants from the in.
sect pest or II they can get 1t they
have to content themselves witt
small quantities.
A canvass of the dealers In Ban
gor shows that 1t is close to {
famine on this we'll known insecti
eide. Some of the dealers are en-
tirely sold out, while others are sell
ing the last that they have on hand
That is not the worst OF the situa
ton either There seems to be bis
doubt whether or not they will bs
able to get any more.
A salesman for q concern that man
ufactures more Paris green in veal
than any other manufacturer In
Bangor ,telephoned to headquarters in
Boston recently and tried to gel
some of the commodity for some ei
his largest customers in this sec
ton of the State. The best he could
do was three tons, and that was
snapped up at once.
IF | could have all the Paris greer
could handle at the present time,
said he, Il could increase my sales
by SIS, 200 this season.
I'VE cant get the stuff. My con-
Germ Is all out. In fact, the last we
got they had to send to Chicago
for, and | understand the situation is
the same all over the country among
all the manufacturers.
Paris green can be made only In
the winter SO all the manufacturers
base the amount of their product on
the amount used the year before, add
ing a certain percentage for natural
increase in business. If it happens to
be an ordinary season all we'll and
good. IL 1t is a cold season then they
have to carry over big surplus till
then next year, but IL it is hot sea-
son like the present, with lots of
warm, muggy weather, the kind that
breeds bugs, then they are short on
their supply. 1t Is all a gamble, and
q whole lot depends on the weather.
Paris green Is used extensively with
the bordeaux mixture, which the
farmers employ to prevent blight and
the consequent development of rot
and spraying the Tlants with the two
used In conjunction usually serves to
keep the plants free from bugs, al
though at times when the bugs are
thick the Paris green is
used alone.
Farmers and others interested in
the culture of potatoes claim for the
purpose of ridding the plants from
the pests arsenate Of lead can be
used to equally good advantage with
the bordeaux mixture in the place of
Paris green. 1t acts as a slower poi
son than Paris green, but 1t can be
kept suspended in water better than
the latter. 1t will not burn the leaves
and sticks to the foliage better than
Paris green. Most OF the dealers
have plenty of arsenate of lead on
hand, and there Is plenty in the mar
ket 30 that the potato growers will
still be able to cope with the en-
croachment of the potato bugs on
their fields.

when he got upon his cruches

pressed the belief that while mt

With city votes ranging from So per

counties reporting votes ranging from
20 per cent to so per cent, a total re-
publican vote of more than zoe, 900 was
indicated. San Francisco. Alameda and
Los Angeles counties polled more than
100000 republican votes. and on the
race OF the incomplete returns the dem
ocrat interior counties had swollen
their respective republican totals to
points approximating more than the
normal republican general election
vote.
Curry carried San Francisco bv an
estimated plurality of $500. In Ala
