  Throughout 
  the 
  State 
  wherever 
  asparagus 
  grows, 
  from 
  

   early 
  spring 
  to 
  late 
  fall, 
  in 
  some 
  stage; 
  hibernates 
  as 
  an 
  adult. 
  An 
  

   imported 
  species, 
  often 
  very 
  injurious. 
  On 
  young 
  plants 
  brush 
  the 
  

   slugs 
  from 
  the 
  shoots 
  to 
  the 
  ground 
  on 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  a 
  hot 
  sunny 
  day. 
  

   On 
  larger 
  plants 
  apply 
  dry 
  hydrate 
  of 
  lime 
  with 
  a 
  powder 
  gun 
  very 
  

   early 
  when 
  the 
  plants 
  and 
  slugs 
  are 
  a 
  little 
  moist. 
  Destroy 
  all 
  volun- 
  

   teer 
  asparagus; 
  in 
  bearing 
  fields 
  let 
  trap 
  shoots 
  grow 
  until 
  covered 
  

   with 
  eggs, 
  then 
  cut 
  and 
  destroy 
  them.

  Also 
  an 
  introduced 
  asparagus 
  feeder, 
  more 
  recently 
  

   arrived, 
  not 
  so 
  common 
  and 
  not 
  so 
  widely 
  distributed 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  

   half 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  as 
  the 
  preceding.
