EXPERT WARNS AGAINST POTATO FLEA Solution SuoQontod With Which to Fight Crop Destroying Boetlo-Fleo Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore., June 8. A warn ing against the ravages of epitrix subscrinita, the Western potato flea beetle, is being issued by A. L. Lovett, assistant entomologist at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. "One of the serious pests of the potato and tomato plants at this time is the western potato flea beetle," says Mr. Lovett. "This insect occurs at this time as a small, dark brown bee tle feeding on the foliage of its host. "It oats characteristic, small irregular hoies in the leaves and has the ability to jump quickly liko a flea when disturbed. "Tho puncture which the beetle makes in the leaf, while serious in itself, becomes even more det rimental, due to the fact that a funcrus disease gains ready en trance through these injured cells and dauses a decaying of the tis sue for a greater or less distance. "The female will commence depositing eggs later, about the base of their host. In the case of the potato, the larvae hatch ing form these eggs feed on the developing tubers. They mine into the potato, usually tuneling only a short distance beneath the surface and tunneling again to the interior. The effect of their work is to give the potato a pimply appearance which some times seriously affects the selling qualities. "The spray to be used for his flea is a combination bordeauxle" arid arsenate spray. It is prepared by suspending 4 pounds of cop per sulphate in a gunny sack at the top of a barrel in 25 gallons of water. Then 6 pounds of lime is slaked in a small quanti ty of water and made up into" a 25 gallon solution. Then the two solutions, 50 gallons in all, are poured simultaneously into a spray tank, and stirred vigorous ly. Good fresh lime must be used, and should always be in ex cess. Only wooden vessels should be used in handling bordeaux mixture. The pump should have brass parts or be brass lined throughout. To this solution should be added 2 pounds of ar senate of lead and mix it thor oughly. It may be used at nor mal strength for potatoes, but ten more gallons of water should be added for tomatoes. Either of the solutions used alone is fairly efficient. If only lead arsenate is used, apply at the rate of 2 pounds to 50 gallons o Water. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. E.
