This insect can destroy potato plants in a short time if no control measure is used Calcium arsenate may be used either as a spray or dust. This is the cheapest poison that can be used and is very effective. It may be bought at the hard ware stores in either Jackson or Rich Square and possibly at other places. As a dust, cover the plants well. There is little danger of burning plants but too much should not ne used as it is waste ful. As a spray use ten table- spoonsful to three gallons of water or two pounds to fifty gal lons of water. It is not too late to sow Sudan grass for hay or temporary pas ture Use thirty pounds to the acre and if the land is thin apply 100 pounds of soda after the grafs is up The seed arei^much cheaper than last season.
