A protection against the pest is to spray the plants with a solution of arsenate of lead or other such ef§- cient mixtures. ‘The spraying must be done thoroughly to be effective, Mr. Ellis points out. The spray should be mixed on the basis of two teaspoons of powdered lead, or four teaspoons of paste lead, to a gallon of water. Thi% may be ap- plied with the usual spraying appa- ratus or may be put on with a whisk broom. Those who wish to use the spraying mixture in larger quantitiés may mix two pounds of powdered lead or four pounds of paste lead to 50 gallons of water. Fighting thie little pest is necessary if one wishes to save his prospective potato crop.
