ville, N. Y., on June 15. 
Treatment.— Cucumbers at Hicksville, N. Y., were sprayed 
with Bordeaux mixture as follows: June 13, 20 and 29. As 
there was a bare possibility of killing an occasional beetle, green 
arsenite was added to the Bordeaux mixture at the first spraying. 
June 11, marginal squashes at south end of field where beetles 
had commenced work were dusted with green arsenite. 
June 13, the remaining marginal squashes were treated as fol- 
lows: One-fourth dusted with green arsenite, one-fourth dusted 
with lead arsenite, one fourth sprayed with green arsenite in water, 
one-fourth sprayed with lead arsenite in water. June 24 the first 
cross rows dusted with green arsenite and lead arsenite; June 29 
last planting of cross rows dusted with green arsenite and lead 
arsenite.

mixture on June 14 and 21 and July 1, green arsenite being used

senite, one-fourth sprayed with green arsenite and water, one- 
fourth sprayed with lead arsenite and water; June 21, dusted first 
cross rows of squashes with green arsenite and lead arsenite. 
At Smithtown Branch the field of cucumber vines was sprayed

the second spraying when the latter was not used.
