 lbs. to 80 gallons water mixed thoroughly. It is sure death to the potato, squash and cucumber bugs, cur- 

 rant and tomato worms, and many other plant-eating pests. As Bug Death contains no arsenic it will not 

 burn or blight the vine, thus giving the potato a better chance to mature, which me^ns a more starchy potato,
