From inaccessible mountain strong
holds he sailed out to raid American

backbone Of the revolt, but nobody
seemed to know how to reach him. He
was hiding in the mountains near the
northeast coast of Luzon. It happened
that cipher letters sent by Aguinaldo
to one of his lieutenants fell into the

Where Potato
Bugs
Come From

Il NOIGH potatoes to furnish every
u inhabitant In the United States
with two pecks apiece were for
merly destroyed every year by potato
pugs.
IN 1861 the pest invaded Iowa, and
before three Years had passed great
quantities Of the bugs We're in Hi
nois. having crossed the MISSISSIPPI
River. 1t is drought that the pests
were brought from Colorado. their
native state, in the prairie wagons.
IN Colorado they lived on a Wild
plant of the potato species. Next
they We're taken To Indiana and Ohio,
then to 81. Louis and spread all
through the Deirot River country.
They crossed rivers and lakes by
means of floating bark.
BY the year 1871 they had arrived at
the Atlantic coast. Tie beaches We're
thicker with them than they are now
with sand flies. They tried to cross
the ocean too, but that MAS too enor-
mot,s All undertaking. In some points
their dead bodies We're washed ashore
in such numbers that the air was
poisoned and people wer. make sick
Delayed Traffic.
The matches OF the boats plvins
on the rivers and lakes had To l..
closed because OF the hordes OF tha
creatures. Train crews We're forced
10 arm themselves with brooms and
sweep the tracks, as the rails We're
made so slippery 10y the bugs that the
engines couldn't proceed.
The creatures have strong wings
and can use them if necessity requires.
THIS helped them In their effort to
emigfate, and thus We had the grea L
est marching plague in history.
Fights We're wased against the no.
tato bugs, but little success was met
with. Farmers thought OF planting
something else on their land, for tho
potato crop was entirely spoiled in
most localities. Paris green was
used III hopes OF sparing the crops
ana some success was met with Hut
at length the natural enemies of tho
bugs were found. These We're ths
ducks and tho farlnyard fowl.
Eat Eighth Of Crop.
Sttll the farmer today loses about
!2 per cent Of his crop from the 90.
tato bug pest. During the winter tho
potato bugs bury themselves under
ground. sometimes to a depth Of sew
eral feet When spring Is heralded
to them they emerge and begin to
multiply. Each lays / 900 to 1900
eggs on the underside Of the leaves of
the potato plant After the eggs are
Matched 9tbe larvae bury themselves
under the ground, coming out two
weeks later. full grown.
