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.
