A good spray for potato bugs con-
sists Of a mixture of two ounces of
arsenate Of lead to one gallon of
water. The a~rsenate of lead should
be well dissolved in a small quantity
of water before being diluted. Enough
of the solution to spray two-thirds of

of arsenate of lead and so gallons of
water. This spray sticks to the plants
better than paris green and does not
