REMEDY FOR CUCUMBER BUGS
Concentrated Solution of Nicotine,
Properly Applied, Is Fatal to
Larvae, Says EEpert.

by WILLIAM MOORE, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
A concentrated nicotine solution of
which there are several brands on the
market, properly applied, is fatal to
the larvae of the cucumber beetle
which sometimes does a large amount
of damage to cucumbers whether in
the cold frame or in the field. One tea
spoonful of a 40 per cent solution
of nicotine in gallon of water is
enough.
The gardener should look for the lar
vac of the beetle just at the surface
of the soil. When he discovers them
he should pour his nicotine solution
on carefully with narrow half-pint
cup, being sure to let it run down all
sides of the stalk.
Fighting the larvae of the cucumber
beetle is better than fighting the adult
beetle itself, as the adults work chief
ly on the leaves and do not get at the
vital parts of the plant.

level stretches of road, because the
tendency for water to wash away the
surface by collecting in and flowing
along ruts depends largely upon the
steepness of the grade. Also the care
with which a road is to be maintained
may have an important influence on
the amount of crown that should be
given to the surface. 1t is evident that
a road surface maintained in a smooth
uniform condition will shed water off
to the side bitches with much less
crown than would be required where
ruts are allowed to form.
Instead of browning the road sur
face sufficiently to prevent water from
flowing along the travelled way and

that the cross section be fiat so as to
