Owing to a very severe attack of
rheumatism ]. B. Clemens was unable

day and hold down the initial sack.
With good care the trouble has been
removed and he is able to be around

Potatoe bugs are reported as being
unusually thick this summer and are
doing a lot of damage. Those trou-
bled with these pests should lose no
time in getting some paris green and
going yer them as they soon stunt
the growth f the plant, thereby de-
creasing the yield.
