THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE
By G. A. Nagley, Deputy Hort.
Inspector

This insect winters over in the
adult stage, alternating in rub
bish and other protected places. In
this latitude the beetles usually ap-
pear in April, however, the past
season they made their appearance
about the same time as the aspara-
que. The beetles soon start to lay
eggs. These hatch in from three
to eight days, depending on the
temperature. The larvae become
full grown in from ten to fourteen
DAYS and then pupate in the soil.
The adult beetle energies IN about
a week. The insect may pass thru
its entire life cycle in as short as
three weeks, though it may take a
month or more. In its northern
range usually two or three genera
tions are produced in a season;
farther south as many as four
broods may be produced, the broods
often overlapping.
Asparagus Beetles are held IN
check to a certain extent by its
natural enemies. Several species
of lady bird beetles feed upon the
eggs, while numerous soldier, bugs
anad dragon flies prey upon the
larvae. 1t has also been observed
that large numbers of alternating
beetles are killed during the win
ter, especially when extremely low
temperatures follow a period of
warm weather. During extremely
high temperatures, exposed larvae
as well as the eggs, are destroyed.
This injury by extremes of tenn
perature probably has done great
deal toward the control of this
pest in this district, however, the
past season the damage and loss
to the asparagus crop was quite
severe, some of our largest grow
ers cutting all No. 2 or Gull grass.
Control measures suggested at
this time are carefully burning all
trash and refuse in the field, and
where possible prepare to allow
free range of the patch of not less
than so chicks to the acre, these to
be at. least five weeks old. Where
cutworms are abundant, old hens
should be used, since the young
chickens would not be able to get
the cutworms. This plan gave ex-
cellent control the past season. De-
stroy volunteer plants near the
field or allow them to grow as
trap plants and keep well covered
with poison spray. A number of
growers in the Delta district in
California report complete exter-
mination of alternating beetles in
the fields by flooding the ground
during the winter season. This may
he possible in some fields in our
district.

STATE GOING INTO BUSINESS

. There are many sound reasons that can be mar
shaed against the idea of state going into bust
in competition with individuals yet that seems
to be the drift of things in this disjonted era.
Ventures or proposals of this kind which decade
ago would not have been countenanced muster
strong followings and advocates Their range is
wide and scattered and the mystery to the average
man is that so many people appear "sold" on the
idea.
On this subject the Bamberg Herald advances
sound reasoning against such course in saying:
E%When a state goes into business, it simply means
that profit must be made larger than similar
business of individual, because when the state
takes over industry it means less taxes for the
state. and these taxes must be made up in bigger
profits, or the plan is failure. If more profits are
made, bigger prices must necessarily have to he
charged, and then wherein is the saving to the
people? 1t, is not economically sound in principle
