NEATLY EXECUTED
AT THIS OFFICE -
Remedy Most Generally Used In
Treating For These Insects Is to
Spray the Plants as Soon »3 First
Grubs Hatch.
In its adult stage the Colorado Po
tato Beetle Is about one half an inch
long, rounded, very convex, almos't
hemispherical in fact, and is distin
guished from any other insect that
might answer to this description by
the Btriped color, and the fact that
the dark stripes are always exactfy
ten in number. ■ These beetles appear
early in the spring,-soon after the po-
tato plants have started their growth,
but though they do some damage di
rectly, it is to their young, the reddish,
fleshy “bugij” that the bulk of the in
jury is due. These are hatched from
groups of orange yellow eggs that will
be found soon after the appearance of
the parent beetles, which deposit them
on the under side of the potato leaves
or on other plants that chance to be
growing in the immediate vicinity. It
is usually the appearance of these
"bugs” in serious numbers that first
calls the attention of the grower to
the fact that something must be done
to save the crop.
Qomedies.
Tho remedy most generally used in
treating for these insects consists in
the spraying of the plants as soon as
the fli’Bt grubs begin to hatch, with
some poisonous substance, usually Par.
is green mixed with water. Several
other compounds have been put on the
market which are equally effective,
and perhaps possess some advantage
over that named. Among them may
be mentioned Areenate of Lead, either
as sold by Chas. Warren Davis, Au
gusta, Ga., under the name of Swift’s
Arsenate of Lead, or by John B. Dan
iel, Atlanta, Ga., under the trade name
of DiBparene, which seem to possess
certain advantages over the PsHs
green in fineness and adhering qual
ities, At a rule, however, compounds
put up in packages and sold for these
purposes under fancy names should be
looked upon with considerable suspi
cion, as they are often nothing more
than Paris green or some other well
known insecticide adulterated with
some worthless material, in order that
a greater bulk may be sold for the
same price, and at the same time leave
a handsome margin to the “manufac
turer."
Spraying.
In tho application of these sub
stances one ounce of the Paris green
or a somewhat larger quantity of the
Arsenate of Lead or Disparene should
be weighed out for each six gallons of
water that is to be used, and this
should be thoroughly wet or stirred up
with a small quantity of water before
being diluted. The spraying will have
to be done, if the field is one of con
siderable extent, by means of a spray
pump, of which a great many forms
aro manufactured and sold, and of
which the chief requisite perhaps is
the attachment of a thorough agitator.
The poison sinks rapidly through the
water, in which it is not dissolved but
only suspended, and unless thoroughly
stirred will be applied in very uneven
strength and some damage may re
sult. It is not necessary that a very
thorough application be made, aB is
the case when spraying for Beale in
sects, etc., since the young grubs col
lect, as soon as hatched, on the
more tender portions of the growing
plants and are pretty certain to be
reached by the poison if these merely
are sprayed. It is very often necessary
that two or more applications be made,
as the young hatched from eggs laid
after a plant is spryaed may find suf
ficient food on the shoots, that have
grown after the application of the poi
son, and will not on that account be af-
fected by it, at least, not until all the
tenderer portions are eaten away, and
a good deal of damage done.
In small patches, as in a garden,
where potatoes are not raised for the
market, and in which cases it often
happens that the owner has no suit
able pump, some other means may be
used for tlje application of the poison.
A god way is to mix a small teaspon-
ful of the Paris green into a bucket
ful of water, and by means of a whisk
broom, or even a whisp of straw on
a stick which is stirred about in the
bucket and then shaken over the plant,
a very good job on a small scale may
be done. The use of the small com
pressed air pumps that are quite com-
monly used in spraying whitewash or
disinfectants is not recommended.
There is no proper means provided for
sufficient agitation, and unless the
pump is constantly shaken to insure
the continued mixture of the poison,
very poor results may be expected.
Some growers prefer to apply the
poteon in dry form, and this method
has certain advantages over the spray
ing, especially in small garden spots.
It may either be applied pure or slight
ly diluted with plaster or flour,; and
there are made for this purpose sev
eral forms of powder bellows which
are quite exact and economical in ac
tion. method is not nPPlteBhle
to large fields, however, as it is neces-’
sary that the application be made ih
the early* morning when the plants
are wet with dew, or else after a
shower.
There te a home-made applte*Hje
sometimes used for this purpose Which
may be prepared from a large tin can,
In the bottom of which a large number
of small holes must be punched. Near
the top of the can two large hdles are
to be made in opposite sides which
will allow the passage of a stick, two
or thf’ee feet long to serve as a handle,
which has a large nail driven through
one end to prevent the can from slip
ping off. The Paris green is -first
stlred into eight or ten times ItB
bulk of plaster or cheap flour, and
placed in the perforated can. The
apparatus is then held over the plant
by the operator, who, with a second
short stick, hits gently on that which
is made to serve as a handle, and thus
causes a small portion of the poisoned
mixture to be jarred out. Much
depends on the judgment of the oper
ator in this method, as the plant
should only be very slightly dusted,
and the heaviness of the jar required
depends entirely on the size of the
perforations, and the fineness of the
flour.
In this connection it may be men
tioned that a very effectual fight ma$>
be waged against this pest by poison
ing the beetles as soon as they appear
in the spring, or if labor is cheap, by
having them collected by children. By
thesq. means few eggs will be laid, and
the trouble will be prevented from the
start.
Information Wanted.
Owing to the rapid spread of this in.
sect in recent years the exact bound
aries of its range in the state are'not
at present known, and it has been re
ported this season from localities con
slderably separated from any previous
ly known points of infestation. It is
frequently asked of this office < just
what portions of the state are infested,
and how soon it may be expected to
appear in localities at present free.
In order to obtain more complete
knowledge bn this subject, it has been
decided to ask any one who has had
any opportunity for observation to
answer either or both of the following
questions:
(1.) Does the Colorado Potato Bee
tle occur in your locality?
(2.) If so, how long has it been
known ther.e?
An answer to these questions ad'
dressed to State Entomologist, Atlan
ta, and coming from any part of tho
state will be of value to us, and it is
earnestly requested that any one inter
ested. will reply.
