INSECTS ATTACK
STRAWBERRY PLANTS
Two Varieties Reported in Windham
County TO County Agent Harvey
Methods of Fighting Them.

Two cases of strawberry insects have
been brought to the attention of County
Agent II. Wilton Harvey.
The green strawberry slug has been
found in the town of DuIfmerston. The
flies appear in the spring and deposit
their eggs on the under side of the leaves
As soon as the eggs hatch the larvae be-
gin to eat small holes in the leaves that
literally riddle the foliage,
These insects are winged, greenish In
color with a very faint yellow stripe and
have fairly hard shell.
The most efficient remedy for this pest
is to spray with arsenate of lead. four
pounds in 100 gallons of water, when the
insects first appear, at which time the
fruit Is only about half grown. NThe in
sect can be killed by this method at any
time by this procedure. but if sprayed
when the fruit is nearly ready to pick, it,
of course. renders it unfit for sale.
The strawberry weevil is one of the
worst pests which can be let loose in the
berry patch. This has been found in one
instance in SaXtOns River. 1t hibernates
in woodlands or waste lands around the
strawberry patch and appears in the
patch in the spring after the buds are
formed. but before the blossoms open.
Then the small black weevil (Which has
4 characteristic SnOut somewhat like a
curcuiiO) lays an egg in the blossom bud
and then cuts the stem below the bud
until the blossom breaks over and hangs
down for a time before falling to the
ground.
The strawberry weevil has been doing
a lot of damage in Maryland, New Jer-
sey. Delaware and adjacent sections for
many years. In some of the strawberry
fields 30 to\75 per cent of the buds have
been cut. 1t has undoubtedly been
spread on plants in setting ont new beds.
and great care should be taken there to
diSiufect plants taken from an infected
area. No method of killing the insects
has ever been developed. New Jersey
worked for a long time on the problem
and finally developed a dust mixture
which acts a. a repellant and keeps the
weevil from bothering the plant. This
dust is composed of 81 per cent sulphate
and Il per cent arSenate of lead and L.
applied i'm the spring when the weevil
first make their appearance.
This dust may be obtained alrepdy
mixed from the Niagara Sprayer Co, of
MiddIeport y. Y. This material costs
this year about 81 Il hundred pounds.

APPEAL TO FARMERS.
Farm Bureau Urges Them to Write Sen
w. at0rs and Congressman.

Farmers should direct their attention
Inward the French Capper Truth and
Fabric bill. At the present time when
one buys wooden cloth he gets anywhere
one of the big reasons why the farmers
have not been able to dispose of their
wool at a fair price.
The only way TO educate the consumer
AZ to the kind of goods he is buying is
to- compel the manufacturer to label his
cloth with its contents of virgin wool
and shoddy in order that the consumers
may know what they get when they buy
all wool goods.
1t is essential that every farmer should
write to his senator or congressman and
urge him to vote in favor of this bill.
The bill is known in the senate as 500
and in the house of representatives as
II. R.-64 1t is urged by the Farm Blu
Teau that every farmer drop a line in re-
gard to this matter at once.
