clean of weeds so that the grubs can
/ be eliminated.
Rotation of crops, avoiding the
planting of potatoes, beets, sweet corn,
and other crops on land which has
been for some time in the same crops
or in Strawberries, grasses, or weeds
is advisable. Fertilizers, especially
kainit, as heavy top-dressing are OF
benefit. Gas lime is valuable. Hogs.
if allowed the run of the newly plowed
garden, or when the crop is off, will
eat large numbers of grubs. Domestic
fowls viii pick up grubs on newly
plOwed land. See Farmers Bulletin
543, Common White Grubs."
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 blowing and crop
rotation. Wireworms, however, are
much more difficult TO control than
white grubs.
Blister Beetles.
Blister beetles are common farm
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
ly. Some species are perfectly black,
some are yellow with black stripes
others are of the same color with
several light stripes, some are gray
and others are gray spotted with black.
Blister beetles are particularly abund-
ant in the Southwest, but occur prac-
tically everywhere. Different species
appear at differeBt times, usually after
the plants have made about one-third
growth, and they continue until late
in the season.
ControI.-Lead arsenate applied at
the very outset of attack is the best
remedy. IN come portions of the
Southwest lines of men and boys 20
through fields driving beetles before
them until they reach windows of
hay, straw, or other dry vegetable
matter previously prepared along the
leeward side of the field. The windrow
is then fired and the beetles burned.
Plant-Lice.
Practically all vegetables, especially
cucumhers, cabbages, and peas, suffer
considerable damage from attack by
small, soft-bodied insects commonly
called "'lice" or "aphis,' but better
known as plant-Iice. 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 a sweet
mixture called hOneydew, which at
tracts ants, flies, and other insects.
PIant-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.

prepared BY the United States Department
OF AgricuIture.)
From the standpoint Of their food
plants, injurious insects may be
grouped roughly into two classes
First, those which are choice feeders
and ordinarily attack only a single
crop or crops of a single class. al
though when they are extremely
abundant they may resort to other
crops or weeds. Examples are the
asparagus beetles and asparagus
miner and the large tomato worms.
which confne their feeding TO plants
of a single family. Second those
known as general feeders-insects
which are not particular as TO their
food plants. Some of these devour
nearly every form of vegetable that
grows in the garden. These include
cutwOrms and other caterpillars,

White Grubs
When new land is used for plant
ing vegetables, especially land that
has been in sod or grown up with
weeds, white grubs are almost GER
tain to make their appearance, some
times in large numbers, doing great
damage to plants from the time they
attain any growth until the fruit il
ready for harvest They feed chiefly
on roots and attack especially DO
tatoes, corn, and Strawberries. but
they are general feeders. White grubs
or grub worms" are the larvae or
young of the brown May or June
beetles, with which most persons are
familiar. The beetles occur in the
North as late as August, while i'm the
South they appear in April or earlier.
Control--Deep blowing is the most
effective remedy for white grubs.

sometimes necessary, and the ground

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 transplanted.
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 cutwoIsn
can destroy many plants in a single
night by cutting off more than it can
devOur.
ControI.-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
or other cheap molasses.
For large garden, use / bushel of
bran to 1 pound of the arsenicaI mixed
with gallons of water containing
half a gallon of mOlasses. This is
enough for treating or 5 acres of
cultivated crops.
After the mash has stood for several
hours, scatter it in Jumps the size
of a marble over the garden where
the injury is beginning to appear and
about the bases of the plants set out.
Apply late in the day so as to place
the poison about the plants before
night, which is the time when cut
worms are active. Apply a second or
third time if necessary.
1t is advisable TO keep young chill
