Insects. 



Potato bugs appear to be rather more prevalent than for 

 the last few years, but are so easily controlled that no 

 serious damage from them is to be expected. Other insects 

 do not seem to be even usually prevalent, though this may 

 be due in part to the cool nights and general lateness of the 

 season. Canker worms, cut worms and squash bugs are the 

 insects most complained of, 20 to 30 correspondents report- 

 ing their presence. Other*insects mentioned are tent cater- 

 pillars, white grubs, spittle insects, currant worms, cabbage 

 worms, wire worms, asparagus beetles, elm leaf beetles, 

 grass thrips, horn flies, onion maggots, codlin moths, plant 

 lice and cranberry fire worms.
