(3) The following percentages of Fight Potato Bugs With Calcium Arsenate Ordinary calcium arsenate, such as has been used for years in dusting cotton to control the boll weevil, makes an effective and economical poison for control of the Colorado Potato Beetle or potato bag. "The calcium arsenate may be used as a dust or as a spray and in cither case will ffive effective con trol," says C. H. Brannon. extension entomologist at Statp College. "If the calcium arsenate is used, there is no need to apply any-additional poison for the material is absolutely effec tive and is the cheapest material we would recommend. When using it as dust, cover the plants well. The amount to use will, of course, depend on the size of the plants." Mr. Br-annon says th dust may be applied with one of the hand dusters used in applying the calcium arse, nate to cotton. There is little danger of burning the potato plants with the material but there is no rea son for wasting the poison by using too much. While the dust method of applica tion is probably the most economical, a good spray mixture can be made by using two pounds of the arsenate in 50 gallons of water- For small areas, such as may be found about the average farm home, a spray may be made by mixing 10 tablespoonsful in three gallons of water. Whichever is used, start the appli cations as soon as thP potato bugs appear in numbers and continue the applications just as often as the beet le continue to infest the plants.
