FOR THE POTATO. 



As soon as the larvae of the potato beetle begin to appear, spray 

 with the Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength, and Paris green one 

 lb. to 100 gallons. Use the same mixture as often as they appear 

 in sufficient numbers to be injurious. If the weather should be warm 

 and moist, applications should be made at intervals of from one to 

 three weeks after the vines have blossomed, of the Bordeaux mixture, 

 one-half strength or the ammoniacal carbonate of copper, one lb. to 

 fifty gallons of water, even if there are no larvae present. The sul- 

 phate of copper one lb. to 500 gallons should also be tried on a 

 small scale to test its value.
