'Prepared by the United States Departm^Ht of Agriculture.) An Insect poison that seems to need the aid of the snn to develop its best effects has been observed in connec tion with the campaign against the destructive Japanese beetle, now being waged in New Jersey by the United States Department of Agriculture. It has been known for some time that geraniol, an oil which occurs in ger aniums and some other plants, is very effective in attracting the beetles, and this bait or attrahent has been used to concentrate beetles on a single tree where they can be killed by a poison. Feed on Geraniums. It has also been known that the beetles feed on geraniums, and that such feeding is often followed by par alysis or death. Articles suggested that geraniums could be used for con trolling beetles have frequently ap peared in newspapers in the districts infested by the pest The effects of geraniums on the Jap anese beetle were studied by Charles H. Ballou, of the bureau of ento mology, during the past sunnner. He found that the insects are drawn to the plant and eat it, both flowers and foliage. Many of the beetles are par alyzed and fall beneath the geranium plants. In the ordinary course of events some of the beetles recover and others die. But in making observa tions of the effect of geranium poi soning, Mr. Ballou observed^ that if beetles fed on geraniums in the sun many more were paralyzed than when they fed on geraniums in the shade, j Flowers More Poisonous. | He also found that the flowers of the geranium were somewhat more | poisonous than the foliage of the j plant, although either would cause the | death of a considerable proportion of the beetles feeding. One of the most interesting facts discovered was that 24 hours after death by geranium poi soning the entire digestive system of the beetle was destroyed. Because of the poisonous effect of geraniums on the beetles Mr. Ballou j suggests that a thorough study of the chemical nature of the plant might lead to the discovery of a new and better poison than any used for con trol of the- beetles at present.

When buying seed, avoid any lot of seed which carries a large number of these “run-out” potatoes. Remember, when buying- seed pota toes, you are not buying a bushel of potajtoes, but rather you are making an investment in a crop. It may be a profitable one or it may be unprofit able. Good seed is worth more money, for it yields a higher return on the in vestment.
