to Raise? 
Sometime this month, the Colorado Potato 
Beetle — commonly called Potato Bug — 
k gets busy reducing your potato crop. 
Prepare right now to fight 
the pest that works day and 
night. The size of your 
potato crop will depend en- 
tirely on the amount of nour- 
ishment which a thrifty 
plant can send down to the 
roots. Therefore, save the plant that feeds 
the roots.
