tubers, or only upon tn tabers when
they are stored in the bins during the
winter.
Bmrowing Through the Tubers
They burrow all through the tubers
rendering them unfit for food and use
less as seed. In from four to six weeks
the larvae become full grown, seek shell
tered places, spin coeoons about them
selves and transform into pupae. In the
summer this pupal stage lasts about two
weeks and the adult moth appears again
a..d lays eggs for second generation.
The moths live but few days. By
late fall the larvae have developed into
the pupal stage, in which state they
often remain over winter; adult moths
appearing the storage bins in late
winter or early spring. The moths are
night fllers, and If the tubers are LETT
exposed over night when dug in the fall
the moths take occasion to lay their
eggs on them thus causing an infesta
tion in the tubers in storage. The pota-
to tuber moth is very difficult to con
troll, as it is impossible to reach the
larvae in their mines in the stems and
tubers in the field This makes it nee
essary to proceed against them by other
methods, of which several should be EN-
ployed for the best results.
Other Methods.
First, Only those potatoes should be
used for seed that are known to be ab-
solutely free from any signs of the pest,

leaves in clusters of from three or four
to as many as a hundred 1t is not
uncommon to find as many as fifty OF
sixty eggs in cluster.
Beetles Hibernate.
The beetles live over winter in the
adult stage, alternating in the ground.
When the potatoes come up in the
spring the beetles emerge from the soil
= and feed upon the young leaves and
vines. They are often seen, however,
before the potatoes are even planted.
At this time they fly about and mate.
After few days they lay their eggs,
and in about week the eggs hatch out
into tiny young plump slngs which grow
and develop for about three weeks,
when they reach their full size as lar
vac. They then go into the ground,
change to pupae and in about three
weeks emerge as adult striped beetles.
They soon mate and after few days
the female lays the second crops of eggs
which hatch out into second genera
tion of larvae. A single female may
lay several hundred eggs. All stages
of the insect may be found at almost
any time during the simmer. 1t is not
uncommon to find eggs, several differ
ent sizes OF larvae and adult beetles all
on the same potato vine at the same
time.
Most Of the injury to the vines is
done by the larvae, although the adult
beetles also feed upon the foliage more
or less. The first brood of larvae does
the most damage in the eastern part of
Washington, although the second brood
is much more numerous. lnis is due
to the fact that by the time the second
brood of larvae appears in August the
potato vines have died from the dry
weather and the tubers have gained
practically all of their growth. Thus
there is little potato foliage left for
the larvae to feed upon, This is espe
cially true of those carly varieties of
potatoes which reach maturity in July.
In those district of the state where the
vines keep fresh and green throughout
the season the second brood Of larvae
will cause more damage thal the first,

THE Colorado potato beetle has at last
become established within our state.
For several years this pest has
been known to occur in the Nez Perce
country in Idaho, the only locality in
which it was known west of the Rocky
Mountains. In 1910, 1911 and 1912
some few beetles were reported in diff
ferent parts of Eastern Washington
During the past summer (1el3), they
have been found quite commonly in
many parts of Eastern Washington. In
some few places they were very abund
ant and destructive.
The adult beetle is about the size and
shape of half pea with the round side
uppcrmost. 1t is yellow in color with
the wing covers ornamented with ten
longitudinal black stripes Zig y. The
larva or immature stage is pale red

Women Whistle to
Get Cupid Lips
AMERICAN AND FRENCH SOCi-
ETY. LEADERS FIX MOUTHS
FOR FASHION.

PARIS, France, July 26.-"Cu-
pid-bow" lips are the fad of
the season, and society women
of this city have taken to
whistling for the purpose of
cultivating the. shape of mouth
demanded by the new fad.
American women who are in
this city have also taken up with
the fad and many of them have
enrolled in the whistling classes
that are now flourishing.
The cupid-bow lip is a sort of
"a pucker that has been designat-
ed by society leaders as the pre-
vailing fashion for this season.
When the mouth has the proper
cupid bow shape it looks very
much as though it is prepared
for a kiss.
To get the proper shape to
the mouth, the women who are
cultivating the new style, have
been authorized to keep whist
ling as much as possible during
their waking hours.
