New Havew, Conn., July 5, 1876, The tmsect pest, knowm as the Colorado beetle or potato bug, so graphically described in the columns of the Heranp last ye ind which, by its deadly sting and general ra 8, came so neur verifying the Hrmatp’s prediction of a potato crop seriously dal aged, and market prices of the people’s favorite es- culent advanced, 18 again on Connecticut soil in such numbers as to render it certain that, unless some great counteracting influence is exerted, the general crop will be almost totally destroyed. The irequent rains of early June usually help plants to outgrow as it wore the movements of insects, but this year a succession of hot, dry days, has ea- abled the beetles, which reached the State last season and wintered in the soil, as if to take time by the fore lock when spring opened and farmers began to plant, to take possession of the fields and have everything their own way. The early varivties of the potato, ex- cept in instances where means have peeu taken to kill the bugs, are among the worst treated. Instances are numerous in the southern and western vortions of the State where the rows of potatoes in some fields are so loaged with bugs that, sped from a distance, the eye can discern tho difference in color of the plauts ae compared with other portions of the same fleld The kind of soil, whether sandy, like that surrounding this city, or loamy, as im Fairfield and Liteh- field counties, seems to have no perceptible effect om the insects’ movements, but everywhere—in the care- fully hoed patch of the laboring man, as well as in the broad acres ef the thrifty larimer—th ects’ terrible work gues on. ‘The beetles are Of three kinds. The largest and most formidable resembies the common bug known as the Tose bug and fumiharly called the June or lady bug. It is of the same brown Color, and im addition to the litte black stripes on the wings 18 disunguish d vy dark colured dots in rows on either side of tuo body below the line of the wings, The head is many times smaller than the body of the bug, vat the potsoned bill which that head contains executes 11s deadly work with amaz- ing rapidity. A sort of independeuce of and stoird indif ference to ail that is going on about bim cheracterizes this bug, aud if be bappens to be brushed irom hit resting place by the baud or by the wind’s breath he immediately recovers bis equanimity, and when, as if appears to him, no eye ts looking, he ascends thi po tuto stalk and proceeds to business again. Tho ili elfvcts which 10,000 of these desperate workers in one acre will cause can, without much figuriug, be deter. mined, ‘The second bug of the same family, and very near of | kim, is favored with wings, which he uses to advantage in fiying trom plant to plaut, as if in the oxercise o a superiniendent’s duty. Wherever he bites the potato stulks die, and thut promptly, His activity, creditable to the bevtle jamily, i 0: the greatest unuoyance to the sarmer, who, while he can hope for better inings so long as tho pest simply. preys upon tie leaves as they put forth, inust despair wuen a bite which strikes death at the very root, kes piace, in color, as compared with the first named, there is lithe tO distinguish them, vut in size, being smaller, they move quicker aud accomplish more work iu a given spaco of ume. ‘The third bug, like the com- mon lecnered ily, breeds upon the potato plaut, and has the advantage over his coworkers tn that when one is jaken irom the rauks operations are no. hindered, for, to borrow the expression vf a discouraged Fairield county farmer, “11 one bug is kilied 10,000 fighting bugs wil come to the funeral.” It 18 pot inirequent to sce each O1 these three varieties of bug in one tleld. In Nrwalk the farmers declare their crops about ruined, that there is little hope exeept trom potatoes pianted late. In Fairficid, some plantera have boluly set out o combat the common enemy, uot ouly vy the use of poisoned powders, but by the us¢ of Drusves and pans. One of the curious sights of that town at this ime is'the farm hand, wich brush in o1 hand and tin pan in the other iollowing the potate rows through the eld, sc.oping mm the saucy little tn- vaders. ‘Ihese, when the pan is full, ure consigned te In some stances the work, wach cannot succeed, as it costs too much time aud labor, is prac tised by turmers hereabout. The use of Paris green is de mcd to be the easiest and most efficacious way of getting rid of the bugs, as coniact with itis fatal A cuiel trouble im the adoption of this means, consists in the fact that the bag, as if im the exercise of an innate ingenuity, carries on his work mof#tly under the potato leat. hv Paris green striking the leu at the top as it leaves the hand of the tarmer Jatis to reach the grand source of trouble. In a short time the wind, raia tvvoring, removes the powers Irom its place, and soon after the bug emerges from his fortilied position and sets avout luitilling his mis- sich. Hellebore in some localives is in successful use, but as only a limited amount of that drug can be ob- tamed usually at the drug stores, it cannot be de- pended on as a stock annibilator, Wood ashes and porous, or calcined plaster, vy their plenufulness and cheapness, are the urticles most generaliy sought, and much good work has veen accomplished by the.r use, While ihe agitation of the bug question last yoar hap- pened to be followed Ly a fair potato crop, and later by low murket prices, tuere aro those willing to believ similar resvits may be not unreasonably expected this A reyiow and inspection of the potato fields of yeur, ‘Connecticut, as they appear with their myriads of bugs, large an pall, actively at work to-day, is the best auswer (o so vain and shailow a delusion, FINANCE DEPAKTMENT.
