STRIPED Beetle
QUITE HARMFUL
Insect Transmits Bacterial Wilt
to Cucumbers, Squashes and
Other Plants.
SPRAYING IS RECOMMENDED
insects Prefer Unsprayed Plants as
Food ard Efficiency Of Control
Would BE Enhanced by Use Of
Early Trap Crop.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Infection with the bacterial wilt of
cucurbits does not occur through soil
Or seed. The striped cucumber beetle
and the 12-spotted cucumber beetle are
both summer carriers, and probably
the only means Of summer transmits
sion of the disease in the localities
that have been studied. Introduction
of virulent bacteria into the interior
plant tissues is necessary for infection.
These points are given In recent
United States department of agricul-
ture publication detailing the results
of studies on the disease, which occurs
in 81 states, including the territory
from Vermont and Canada to Florida
and west to Minnesota, Nebraska, Col
Orado and Texas. The disease also
probably occurs in parts of California.
OF the common domestic cucurbits the
disease affects cucumbers, cantalOupes,
summer and winter squashes and
pumpkins, but not watermelons.
Use Bordeaux Mixture.
Spraying with strong bordeaux mix
ture and lead arsenate paste (4-5-5O
plus p is recommended where the dis
ease is likely to be severe. Treatments
should begin as soon as the cucumber
and should continue at intervals Of
about week until the cucumber bee
ties practically disappear from the
field. In localities where dOwny mil
dew is also prevalent the treatments
should be continued later as partial
insurance against this disease. The
beetles prefer unsprayed plants as
food, and undoubtedly the efficiency of
wilt control would be enhanced If a
slightly earlier trap crop, such as
squash, were planted along the edges
Of the cucumber field. The beetles
could be easily poisoned there with a
strong insecticide.
Pulling of wilted vines during the
first part of the season, or as long as
1t can be done without mechanically
injuring the healthy plants, will great
ly assist in controlling bacterial wilt
If consistently done in all neighboring
| fields The diseased vines should be
buried, or otherwise removed from &C
cess by the beetles.
Where few plants only are grown
in garden plats, screening the hills
with fine mosquito netting will prevent
the appearance Of the disease.
Control in Greenhouses.
For control in greenhouses the bee
ties, in the first place. should be kept
out. Do not grow cucurbits nor pile
cucurbit refuse in the immediate vicin
ity of greenhouses, as this attracts the
beetles and many will later find thei
way into the houses. If the beetles
once gain entrance to house fille'

DUST BATH VERY ESSENTIAL
Best Results Cannot Be Expected II
Hens Are Permitted to Become
Overrun With Vermin.

If the best results are to be expect
ed from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or the house with mites. Usually,
there will be place in the yard where
the hens can dust themselves in the
dry dirt. In the absence of such q
place. a box about 2 feet square and
containing ordinary road dust or fine
dirt should be placed in the house.
A dust bath aids the hens in keep
ing lice in check and therefore adds to
their comfort. If they are not able to
keep them in check by busting them
selves, other measures can be TAKEN

with growing plants hand picking is
the only remedy to be recommended
until some fumigant is found that will
kill the beetles without injuring the
cucumber plants. Besides destroying
the cucumber beetles, great care must
be exercised in disinfecting all instru-
mefts used in pruning wilted vines be-
fore using them again on healthy
plants. This may easily be done with
bottle of l to 1000 mercuric Chord
and a sponge.

MULCH IS NOT APPRECIATED
Practice Has Long Been Recognized
as important Factor in Success
full Fruit Culture.

Although mulching has long been
recognized as an important factor in
successful small fruit culture, the
value of summer mulching in the veg
etable garden is not yet appreciated
by most home-acre gardeners, and il
is not practiced by them as generally
as it deserves TO be.
