Plant-Lice.
Practically all vegetables, especially
cucumbers, cabbages, and peas, suffer
considerable damage from attack by
small, sOft-bOdied insects commonly
called "lice" or "aphis," but better
known as plant-lice. These work for
the most part on the lower sides of
the leaves, which become curled Or
otherwise destroyed by loss of their
vital juices. They give off sweet
mixture called honeydew, which at
tracts ants, flies, and other insects
Plant-lice increase with great rapidity
by the female giving birth to living
young. The different kinds vary in
color from light to dark green or
nearly black, grayish, brown, yellow
and red. They have comparatively
long legs and have feelers attached
to the head. Some forms have two
pairs of transparent or clear wings
They feed by sucking juices of the
plants through a beak. Familiar ex-
amples are the melon aphis, pea aphis.
and cabbage Dlant-lice.
control.-If the plants are grown
under glass, plant-lice may be killed
by fumigatien with nicotine prepara-
tiOn. The form suitable for this work
is paper soaked in nicotine which when
lighted causes a smudge. Sprinkling
plants with fine tobacco dust is of
some value, especially if applied early
in the morning when the dew is on. |

is also known to attack turnip and
cabbage, and after feeding on the
lower surface of the leaves sometimes
webs them together near the ground.
When abundant, it attacks the stalks
even down to the roots. It was first
discovered in injurious numbers in Vir-
ginia, near the District of Columbia,
in 1919, and occasional attacks have
been noted in Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. The
moth of the species is rather a bright
Ocher yellow, with a wing spread of
about 1 inch, peculiarly spotted. The
eggs are deposited in compact masses
containing from half a dozen to
score. They are a little brighter
green than the leaf, and each egg is
surrounded by an irregular ring of
yellow spots.
The webwOrm may be controlled by
arsenicals and by hand-picking on

other crops by fall and spring plOw-

beetles, and others. When abundant,
some Of these pests do. great damage
sweeping over large areas and ruin
ing entire crops before they can be
stopped.
CutWorms.
Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and other
truck plants, particularly when started
under glass. are likely to be injured
by cutwOrms when tranSpfanted.
These appear in great numbers in
the spring and early summer, and
the injury is often complete before
the gardener notices it. The chief in
jury is due to the severing of the
stems of young plants at about the
surface of the ground. One cutworm
can destroy many plants in a single
night by cutting off more than it can
devOur.
Control.-The best remedy is what
is called poisoned bait" For use in
a small garden take 1 peck of dry
bran, add 4 ounces of white arsenic
or. Paris green, and mix thoroughly
with gallons of water in which has
been stirred half a gallon of sorghum

Wireworms.
WirewOrms, like white grubs, are
common pests in the garden and are
also general feeders. They are the
offspring of swapping beetles, or
"snap-bugs," and are of long oval
form.
Their tastes are similar to those
of the white grubs. They attack and
often do great injury to potatoes and
other plants bearing tubers, as we'll
as to carrots, beets, sweet potatoes,
and onions.
ControI.-The remedies advised for
white grubs apply also to wirewOrms,
with due care in selecting land for
planting and in fall plOwing and crop
rotation. WirewOrms, however, are
much more difficult to control than
white grubs.

pests and are very destructive to
vegetables, especially beans, peas, po-
tatOes, and beets. They travel in the
same manner as army worms and are
sometimes called "army beetles" for
this reason. They are hungry feeders
and travel frequently in lines, eating
everything in their path, chewing up
apparently more than they need for |
food. They are slender in form, some
what soft bodied, and cOlored various

some are yellow with black stripes,

Blister beetles are particularly abund-

appear at different times, usually after
the plants have made about One-third

in the season.
