SPRAY FOR ASPARAGUS BUGS
One or Two Applications of Lead Ar.
senate or Bordeaux Mixture Will
Kill Beetles.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If beetles and larvae are at work
on the foliage of asparagus plants,
one or two applications of lead arsen-
ate will kill them. Two pounds Of dry
lead arsenate or pounds Of lead ar
senate paste to so gallons of water
or bordeaux mixture will make a
spray of sufficient strength. This
treatment, made after the cutting sea-
son, should lessen the number Of
beetles next year and also enable the
plants to make healthy growth.
The common asparagus beetle is dis.
tributed over wide territory extend
ing from Toronto, Canada, through
New York and New England, except
Maine, to southern North Carolina and
westward to the border line between
Illinois and Iowa. 1t has also been re-
ported from one locality in Colorado
and three in California. The other
species, the 12-spotted asparagus
beetle, also known to growers as the
"red" species, is not so common and
somewhat less injurious. The early
broods of these insects feed on the
young and tender asparagus shoots
and render them worthless for mar
ket. Later broods Of the common spe-
cies devour the foliage and frequently
kill the plants, and those of the p
spotted beetle feed on the berries.

BERRIES FOR HOME GARDENS
Everbearing Varieties Are Favored in
Northern States Because of
Their Hardness.

Strawberries may be produced
throughout the summer and autumn
months in the Northern United States.
Plants of the everbearing sorts may be
set in the spring and crop secured
in the summer and autumn of the
same year. The plants are very hardy,
their foliage is very resistant to dis
ease, and under favorable conditions
they continue to produce berries until
hard frosts occur. These character
istics make them especially suitable
for the home garden.
