To Destroy Potato Bugs.

Brookings.-The time Of spraying
for potato bugs the first time is when
the bugs first appear. and the second
or third time will be necessary after
the bugs are present. One Of the
most commonly used and easiest ap-
piled insecticides is paris green, APP
Piled at the rate of two pounds per 50
gallons Of water. One Of the main
things to be watched in spraying IS
that it be applied in a very thin mist.
II put IN carelessly, the water drops
on the foliage act as small sun glasses
and often burns the foliage badly.
This is often taken as the effect Of too
strong a solution, when. in fact, 1t is
simply the action OF the sun through
the water drops. 1t is a good practice
to add one pound of quick lime 70
each so gallons Of the paris green
spray. This lessons the injury to
the foliage. Stake and add water TO
form a paste before mixing with the
spray solution. (By John e. Larson,
Sphinx County Farm Improvement as

one pound Of paris green with 25 10
b pounds Of bran or middlings. Dilute
one quart of any cheap molasses with
two or three gallons of water and NIX
with the poisoned bran. The exact
proportion OF this poisoned bran mash
Is not important. Stir in enough paris
green to give the mixture a faint tinge
Of green and then add sweetened
water until the mass has the right con-
sistency. Scatter this bait over the
infested field as near evening as posi-
bic in little heaps. In gardens, place
