POISON THE POTATO BEETLE

Why allow the potato beetles to
destroy the potatoes? They can be
easily controlled by spraying with an
arsenical. Every year this pest does
an immense amount of damage by
eating the leaves of the potatoes and
thus permitting none or only few
small potatoes to grow.
The beetles emerge from the ground
early in the spring and commence
feding and lay thir eggs soon after
the potatoes are through the ground.
These eggs soon hatch and the young
grubs feed ravenously. They grow
rapidly and unless controlled at this
time soon become numerous enough to
destroy the potato crepe
This pest may be easily controlled
senate of lead in the proportion of 2
pounds of the powdered form Tor 3
pounds of the pastel to so gallons of
water. Mix thoroughly and apply
with a good pump throwing a fine
spray of mist. Cover all parts of the
foliage completely. Begin spraying
soon after the potato vines are up or
when the beetles first appear and
spray as often as is necessary. Do
not wait until the beetles have be-
come numerous but kill the first ones
which appear in the spring.
Whore one has only few vines to
protect and will not need large
amount of material they may mix the
poison in the proportion of ounces
of the powdered arsenate of lead or
A ounces of the paste to 8 gallons of
water.
If one does not have a spray pump
they may poison the beetles by mix
ing thoroughly 2 rounding tablespoon
fuls of dry arsenate of lead with one
quart Of -four or air Stacked lime.
Paris green will do if the arsenate of
lead cannot be secured. Place this
mixture in porous flour sack or in
a can with nail holes in the lid, and
sift on potato vines.
Don't delay, kill the beetles now be-
fore they have damaged the crop. For
leaflet giving directions apply to your
County Agent or Home Demonstration
Agent.

There is a dawning recog- milton that if anarchy seiZes central Europe, the decisions of the peace con- gress in drawing boundaries and levy ing indemnities can be enforced only through military control by the allies. otherwise becoming merely scraps of paper

 REJECTED BY TANKS
 BECAUSE DEFECTIVE

COBLENZ, Saturday, Jan. 4.-(By the Associated ress.)-Eighty- eight German cannon, surrendered in accord ance with the terms of the armistice Were rejected today by the United States receiving commission. The Americans contended that the guns were of old models and did not meet the requirements; that some had been damaged by premature explosions and that others were lacking in certain parts.
 The German commission, which has been at Coblenz attending to the de- planes and other war materials, was notified that replacements for the SS rejected cannon must be in CobleZ by January 10.
 So far, 64 cannon of various calibers have been accepted by the Americans. The rejected artillery included two can non manufactured in 1873. All the re- jected guns according to the Germans, were used on various fronts during the lastfew months of the war.
 Soon after the army of occupation reached German soil, requests for can non began arriving from American cit ies, many of the requests being sent by cable. Among the guns turned over are two heavy 42-centimeter howitzers with which, day after day, the Germans used to mound Nerdun and the region where the big American naval guns were located Nearly 200 cannon oi various calibers have arrived here, but so far only a few have been accepted, as most fthem had missing parts. It | is understood, however, that the parts have been shipped from Germany.
 Among the airplanes being received | is an armored battle machine which carries six machine guns. The Ger mans used this type of machine to strafe" infantry. Several observation planes wereamong the no turned over to the Americans at Treves. These will be sent to America. One that will be sent across the ocean is the first F'okker used by the enemy on the western front. It is in perfect condi- tion.
