CABBAGE BEETLE
DOES MUCH Hin...s3
Insect Carefully Avoids Arsenical
Sprays Effective Against
Many Other Pests.
BEST METHODS FOR CONTROL
Tobacco Dust Found to BE Most e.
feetive Of RepelIents Tested--Ar-
senate Of Lead Applications
Found Satisfactory.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Evidently the Western cabbage flea
beetle was not Matched TO die by
?oison-at least by sprays OF arsenicals
found so effective against many crop
insect pests. 1t may be driven away,
however, by poisonous applications,
and herein lies the methods of control
discovered by specialists Of the bureau

nent of Agriculture, whose expert
nents In combating the pest are de-
scribed In Department Bulletin 902

iuently does serious injury to turnips,
'adishes, mustard kale and other cole
.rops, to sugar beets, table beets and
Inder exceptional conditions to beans
and peas.
Dainty In Habits.
The beetles, II Is said, are dainty In
heir feeding habits, carefully avoiding
foliage that has been sprayed, and at
lacking either unsprayed parts or fly
,ng to other plants. Repellents such
as tobacco dust were found TO be the
most effective Of those tested, and Of
he arsenicals, heavy applications OF
irsenate OF lead gave the most salts
factory results.
A formula that gave excellent re-
cults was arsenate OF lead paste,
pound fish-oil soap, as sticker. /
pound; and water, 10 gallons. Half OF
his weight Of powdered lead arsenate,
Or 2h pounds in 80 gallons of water,
Is equally effective, with correspond
ing quantity Of soap, to act as an ad-
heslve, or "sticker." It should he APP
piled with sprayer fitted with elbow
extension, and special effort should be
made to coat thoroughly the under
surface of the leaves. Two or three
applications Mt five to eight-day inter
walls are sufficient, even in case OF Sc
we're infestation. provided the first APP
plication is made promptly on the first
appearance of the insect.
Control by Nicotine.
The pest can also be controlled by
nicotine sulphate, one-half pint. 40
per cent solution, in 80 gallons Of wa
ter, with 2 pounds Of soap added,
which is deterrent II Is not pos
sible. however, TO control this insect
entirely when 1t occurs In Its great
est abundance.
In addition, II is desirable to keep
the plants thrifty and well wntered.
Mechanical and crop traps can be used
with advantage. Clean culture Is al
ways advisable,

The hens should be culled vut dur.

August. When hen is laying her
comb will be large, full of blood. and

shrunken, pale or dull IL color, and
Is usually rather hard. Another good
indication to use In selecting those
hens which stop laying early Is mott.

when the hens begin to molt Is to han

drainage Is assured. heavy appllca-

Is best to first apply tallow to the

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, June e.-The first
frost of the season from Brazil, ac-
companied by higher cables. caused
a fairly sharp advance in the local
market today. Sales were made on

The maximum gain was in Septem-
ber. which opened at &c and rose to
713c on buying of about 10000
bags. evidently for a leading local

largely by the official weather re-
port showing freezing temperature

lures up to 55 degrees in other Sac

also encouraging. Santos. which was
reported 25a225 reis higher late
yesterday. closed at those levels to
175 reis higher. Rio closed Is reis
above the levels reported yesterday.
Subsequently 1t became known
that two private cables had been
received from Brazil stating that
markets there were excited owing
to the appearance Of frost, which
had done some damage. In addition
a special cable showed further
gains of 225a425 reis in Rio.
A prominent Front street house
also became buyer of September,

yesterdays closing levels. July was

stocks with a decidedly weak ap-
