BEETLES

Serious damage by flea beetles is pre-
dicted
Radish and early turnips are being
damaged to a great extent by flea
beetles, is the report sent out today by
Frank n. Wallace. State Entomologist
He states that every gardener should
examine the young plants and if small
holes are found in the leaves the dam
age can be laid to flea beetles These
are very small beetles which have a
peculiar habit of jumping like fieas
they are very active and extremely hard
to catch.
Spray or dust the plants with Paris
Green or arsenate of lead this Will
poison the beetle. and If done now be-
fore they lay eggs will prevent damage
from a later brood There is danger OF
them becoming a serious pest unless
prompt measures are taken now to pro-
tect the plants by spraying or busting
If there is doubt about the cause of
injury to your plants, send specimens
to the Entomologist's office in the

Eve evolved from fig leaves to
furbelows. Fathers have the
framework for laps but they
lack the connecting links.
Laps are used for many
things; among matrons for hold

batter; among lovers for hold
ing each other; and among vari-
Gus classes of persons for a vari-
Gus number of things.
