The young that hatch from these eggs, as well as the next brood, are the ones that do the damage. Therefore, It la necessary that treatment should be be gun as soon as the young beetles ap pear on the vines. Dust the plants while the dew is on. with a mixture made of 1 pound Paris green to 10 pounds of slaked lime or cheap flour. Another good method Is to spray the plants with a composition of 2 ounces of Paris green In 50 gallons of Bor deaux mixture, spraying the vines two or three times. For this purpose the Bordeaux mixture should be made out of 3 pounds of bluestone and 5 pounds of lime to 50 gallons of water.
