Vegetable Forcing, 



DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS. 



You will find enclosed a specimen fly 

 and also a small piece of snowberry 

 with insects on it. The flies last year 

 were extremely destructive; in one 

 night they ate nearly all my Swiss 

 chard. If you know of anything which 

 I could put on the Swiss chard to keep 

 the flies away, I should be pleased to 

 hear about it. Could the chard be 

 safely used after being sprayed or 

 dusted? As to the insect on the snow- 

 berry, I should like to know what it is 

 and what would kill it. E. P. 



I have never been troubled with 

 these same pests or with any other on 

 snowberry shrubs or Swiss chard beets. 

 The flies that are so destructive to the 

 Swiss chard are a kind of beetles and 

 will be hard to fight, for the reason 

 that they can not be sprayed with any 

 insecticide, as the foliage is used for 

 greens. If you have only a small patch, 

 you might keep the beetles off by 

 spraying them hard every day with 

 the hose and knocking them all off. 

 Or' you might try putting tobacco 

 stems along each side of the rows; 

 the smell of these would keep many 

 insects away. But do not spray with 

 any kind of dope. 



I have sent the samples to the state 

 entomologist for further information.
