CONTROL OF GARDEN INSECTS
Spraying With Solution Of Arsenat'
Of Lead issEfective for Potato
Bugs or Beetles.

Spraying with arsenate Of lead will
control potato bugs or beetles. This
poison solution is made Of one pound
of arsenate Of lead to ten gallons Of
water, with little laundry soap added
to make the solution stick to the
leaves. Cucumber, muskmelon and
squash beetles may be controlled by
busting the plants with air-slacked
lime mixed with lead arsenate powder.
When plants of any kind are attacked
by lice Black Leaf 40 is generally
used. Arsenate of lead and Black
Leaf 40 can be purchased at any drug
store and they are usually accompa-
MED by directions for their use. Con-
troll of vegetable insects and diseases
depends much on prompt action as
soon as their presence is noticed.
Spraying and other methods are nee
essary some time or other every year,
for every plant in the garden is in
fected at some time with either dis
ease or an insect.
