prepared by the United States Depart

From the time the earliest seed is
of the last crop, every home vegetable
garden may be expected to suffer
from the attacks of the army of in
sects pests which annually creep from
their winter quarters, hungry from
their long fast, to fatten on the care
fully nurtured seedlings, riddle the
grown plants, and multiply to count
less thousands during the days of mid
summer. The careful and far-sighted
gardener may most readily demon
strate his skill through the adoption
and correct application of the rem
edies best designed to control this
horde.
Colorado Potato Beetle.
Wherever a small plot of potatoes
is grown, the Colorado potato beetle
is likely to be found. The mature or
"hardshel" beetles which have spent
the winter safely buried in the ground,
begin to come out about the time
when the plants are few inches
high. First they hungrily devour a
part of the young and tender foliage,
after which they begin to deposit, on
the undersides of the leaves, their
clusters of orange-colored eggs, of
which a thousand or more may be
laid by a single female. Effective work
may be done at this time by hand
picking the beetles from the plants
into can of water, with little kero.
sene over the surface. The eggs may
be crushed between the thumb and
! finger.
Care at this stage will prevent the
appearance of the fat, shiny rec
larvae or "slugs," which are mucf
more destructive than the beetles, fre
quently stripping the plant entirely
if left without attention. When frs
hatched, these feed in groups, but a.
they grow larger, they spread over the
plant. When growth is completed
they descend to the ground, int
which they burrow to a depth of sew

tinued across without regard to the
road. Where the terraces are as much
aG 20 feet broad, no provision need be
made for passing traffic across them,
but they should be carefully main
tained to prevent possible breaks.
Where the terraces are not more than
ten feet broad considerable inconveni-
ence to traffic and injury to the ter
races generally results where no pro-
vision for crossing is made. Some
times the water is carried under the
roadway by culvert but the principal
objections to this are that the capac
ity of the waterway is greatly reduced
and the free flow of the water through
the culvert is often obstructed by
stalks or other trash washed from the
field. A wooden bridge spanning the
channel, so as not to reduce very much
the cross-sectional area of the water
way, makes more desirable and sat-

few days they again emerge, they
have taken the form of parent beetles.
Means of Control.
The Colorado potato beetle is one
of the pests most easily controlled. 1t
feeds readily on poisoned foliage, and
the well-knOwn treatments of spray
ing or dusting with arsenate Of lead
or paris green should be familiar to
every grower. The spray mixture may
be prepared in small quantities by
mixing two-thirds of an ounce, or ten
level teaspoonfuls of powdered ar
senate of lead with gallon Of water.
This should be applied with a spray
er capable of throwing fine, misty
spray. A good atomizer will do eff
fective work on a small scale, at a
cost of a dollar or less. The upper
surfaces of the leaves should be well
covered by the spray. A simple meth
cd of busting is to mix thoroughly the
same quantity of powdered arsenate
of lead or heaping tablespoonful of
paris green with quart of air-slaked
lime or lime plaster. Dust this over
the plants by shaking through a
cheesecloth bag.

Terraces require considerable care
and attention, especially during the
first year, before the loose soil has had
time to become settled thoroughly.
All apparently weak places should be
visited after every heavy rain, and
any breaks should be repaired immedi-
ately with shovel. 1t is best not to
cultivate the terraces the first year,
but to seed them to some kind Of cover
crop.
1t is advisable to run the crop rows
parallel to the terraces, one row be-

cultivation of the top row tends to
keep the top of the terrace at the

cultivation. AS result, the terraces
are more liable to break, and much
more maintenance work is required
than where the rows are run parallel
to the terraces.
All terraces that are cultivated
should be plowed at least once a year,
and the soil should be thrown to the
center. In this way the height of the
terrace is kept up and the base may
lie broadened each year.
Steep land that washes badly be-

handkerchief with him. Barron pulled
open bureau drawer and took one for
Longs use.
1t will be recalled that it was Bar.
ron s handkerchief that was found
around the neck of Mrs. Broadwell.
Barron, few days after Long took the
handkerchief, went to Claremont, N.
H., and shifted from place to place un-
til he reached his sisters in Spring
field, Mass, on June IL. She told him
that James Wood, detective, had
been inquiring for him. Barron called
Mr.. Wood by telephone to Boston.
The next day a conference was held.
| Barron said he did not know George
Long, but when shown Longs picture,
| said: "That g the man loaned a hand
kerchief" Barron had only known the
man by the name of Windy or
| George.
Preceding Barron s testimony, three
women took the stand, Hattie Lovely,
Title Stafford and Lizzie Lovely and
stated that at different times they had
been TO Barron s room in company with
Long and that they had beer or wine
to drink Title said she drank two
bottles of beer at one time. This was
introduced to show that Long had ac-
