vii. POISON OF POTATO BEETLES

The Colorado potato beetle, CON-
monty called the potato bug" needs
no description to anyone who has
raised potatoes. Tie wing covers
are marked with ten longitudinal black
stripes on yellowish brown back.
ground: The larvae are red, soft-bo.
dies, sMg-like creatures with black
heads and black spots along their
sides.
q AS soon as the potato plants show
above ground, these BEETLES are around
ready to lay their eggs on the opening
leaves. The yellow or orange col
ored eggs are laid on the under side
of the leaves in clusters. These eggs
hatch and the grubs feed voraciously
on the potato leaves. When full
grown they drop to the ground which
they enter and there go through their
transformations. In July the beetles
of the second generation are seen and
the process is repeated. The adult
beetles from this generation remain
in the ground over winter.
Spraying with arsenate of lead OF
paris green is the best method of con.
troll. The time to begin spraying is
just as the eggs of the first genera
ton begin to hatch. The poison may
be applied either in the dust or liquid
form. The real secret of success in
killing potato bugs is to start early
with the spraying applications. Dc
not wait Until the bugs get big be-
cause then it requires more poison to
kill them.-A. G. Ruggles, State En-
tomologist, University Farm, st. Paul

MORTGAGED HOMES
DECREASE IN VALUE

A house will not last forever, yet
this fact seemJ to be lost sight of
in the usual negotiation for mort
cages and the financial difficulties
of many investors may be traced to
the fact that mortgages placed on
a conservative basis soon become
very poorly secured If the mortgage
debt is not reduced. Whenever d
man buys an automobile he has to
reduce his debt very quickly and in
buying pianos or furniture on the
installment plan, his repayment or
principal is usually as large or
larger than the amount of interes ST
he is paying on his debt.
The same idea ought TO be adopt
ed in the purchase of a house, as
plumbing. roofing, hardware and
many other items are wearing out.
Most men will readily see the ad-
VantaEeS Of amortization if pointed
out to them in the continually re-
duCing interest payments and in
Creasing repaymerts of principal
and with money at . or 6i2 per cent
mortgage can be reduced very

Data on Shortage of Homes Gathered
By Senate Reconstruction Committee
Expected to Force Action by Congress

With the great fund of informa-
tion on the home shortage which
the Senate committee on recon
struction is gathering throughout
the country before them, there is
little doubt but that Congress will
take some action at the coming
session to relieve this condition.
Many of those familiar with hous-
ing conditions have felt for some
time that the national legislature
would have to take a hand. The
reason put forth that it has not
acted before was that 1t did not
have the information upon which
to act. II was for this reason that
the committee headed by Senator
Calder was formed. 1t has been
fortified with a corps of building
experts who are still engaged in
gathering data.
What form the congressional ac-
tion will take it is impossible to
forecast at this time. 1t may come
in the form of Federal loans or
some action which will make it
easier to get building materials to
places where they are needed. How
ever, ii is pointed out, some way
must be found of cutting down the
cost of construction work so that
