FLEA BEETLE APPEARS.
County Agent B. w. Ellis Advises How
 to Combat the Pest.

The flea beetle has made it's appear ance in potato patches in towns in this county. it was stated Friday by County Agent B. W. Ellis, and he warned farmers, and particularly home gardeners, to be on the lookout for the pest.
 Mr. Ellis says that the little beetle, which hops about like flea, bores holes through the young potato leaves and eventually practically destroys them.
 A protection against the pest is to spray the plants with a solution of arsenate of lead or other such efh- cient mixtures. The spraying must be done thoroughly to be effective, MT. Ellis points out. The spray should be mixed on the basis of two teaspoons of powdered | lead, or four teaspoons of paste lead, | to a gallon of water This may be ap- piled with the usual spraying appa- ratus or may be put on with whisk l broom
 Those who wish to use the spraying mixture in larger quantities may mix pounds of paste lead to 50 gallons of water.
 l Fighting this little pest is necessary if one wishes to save his prospective potato crop.
