depth of several feet
In the spring the beetles appear
about rhe time that the potatoes
break from the ground, and in few
days the agg laying begins. The eggs
are bright yellow in color and are
laid in patches On the under sides of
the leaves Each patch contains from
fifteen to fifty eggs. They are very
easily discovered by simpy turning
over the vines with the hands so that
the under sides of the leaves are ex-
posed Every potato grower should
make a systematic examination of
the vines by passing through his
fields and turning over the leaves of
two or :hree hills in each row.
The eggs hatch in from four to
eight days, according to the tempera-
ture The larvae are dark red grubs
with black heads For the first day
Or TWO they often eat the surface of
the leaf upon which they were
sat tched. Then they migrate to the
tor of the plant and feed upon the
young tender leaves which are Just
unfolding.
The ideal moment for the first
spray is just when the eggs are be-
ginning TO hatch. Fortunately, We
now have an insecticide which will
stand considerable wet weather and
still leave enough clinging to the
leaves 10 do very effective work.
This is arsenate of lead.
This poison usually comes in the
fern Of white paste, though some
manufacturers make powdered
product. The arsenical is applied to
the vines in water at the rate of six
CT eight pounds of the poison to a
hundred gallons of water or about
three or four pounds to the barrel.
The best way to mix the poison is to
"eigh out the required amount in
pail, pour in scme water, and mix
thoroughly with a stick. Pour off the
top of the mixture into the barrel of
water through screened funnel.
Add more water to the remainder in
the pail. mix, and proceed as before
until all the substance has been dis
solved
The best method of app ication. es-
pecially in large fields. is by means
Of power sprayer. These machines
are made to spray from four to six
rows with a fine misty spray. fine
nozzle is used and the liquid forced
out with pressure The pressure is
obtained by gear attachments with
the wheels. 1t will be best for the
farmer to consult neighbors who have
used these machines and select one
Some of the earlier makes failed to
give sufficient power to make good

hose is provided with vermorel noz-
Eel which sprays downward. The noz-
zels are spaced SO that one comes

of this apparatus is about twenty dol
lars. not counting the wagon and
