The red turuio beetle attacks tur- nips. relishes, and the like, and the best. remedy Is to spray or dmt the plants attacked with ar- senicnl poisons in the same way as for the Colorado beetle.

When dry out up for planting. Forinalin has the advantage of being neither poisonous nor corrosive. Corrosive sublimate is a fatal poison if taken internally. and it also cor- rodes metals. The solution should, therefore. be made in wooden or glazed vessels. All treated seed should be planted. and any solution left over should be poured into a hole in the ground. The best remedies for turnip aphis are Spraving with kerosene emulsion ox° whale-oil soap solution one pound in six gallons of water, at the time colonies first appear in August; also ploughmg down deeply the tops as’ soon as cut from the roots, as eggs are found to be laid upon these in large quantities. The pear leaf blister mite can easily‘ be kept down by the use of the lime. salt, and sulphur Spray used in win- ter, but it. is difficult to exterminate, and will reappear if Spraying be ne- glected. For root maggots of cabbages. cauliflowers, rudishes, and onions, many experiments have been tried with more or less success. On cauli- flowers and cabbages Dr. James Fletcher. the Dominion Entomoloaist, has secured the best results by using the Gough tar-paper discs. For the ozher crops carbolised mixtures have proved of greatest promise. For the asparagus beetle Spray with either kerosene emulsion or whale-oil soap. In turnip fields, duat with one pound of Paris green mixed with 50 pounds of flour, land plaster, slaked lime, or any other equally dry pow- der. Among roots and vegetables, cabb- age worms are a common enemy of the market gardener; but they can be exrerminated by dusting with pyrethram (which is insect, powder) and lime (or some other dry diluting substance). The best remedy for the green clover weevil is early cutting. The clover reot-borer is best reme- died by a short- rotation and the ploughing down of infested fields as soon as there is a pretty good growth after the bay has been cut.

Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, May 29, 1902.

There are three important fungoue diseases of the sugar-beet for which remedies have been found. They are root-rot, leaf-spec. and beet-scab. The first can be remedied by putting sixty to seventy bushels of air-elaked lime to the acre; the second, by the use of Bordeaux mixture; and the third by avoiding for the growth of beets any soil which. durlnu several years previous. has produced scabby beets. “R When the June beetle or bugs at- tack fruit trees spray the foliage with arsenical poisons. Take,for instance. one pound of white arsenic and dis- solve it in about four quarts of water, then use this arsenic solution to slack two pounds of good lime, and add enough water to make two gallons of this stock mixture. Thoroughly stir the material before using. Arsenate of load can be applied in large quan- tities without injury to the foliage. hence it is very useful against beetles and similar insects that are hard to poison; it also adheres to the foli- age a long time. For the variegated cut-worm. the parent moth of which in England is known as the “pearly underwing,” Dr. Fletcher has found either of these remedies successful :â€"the banding of freshly set-out animal plants with rings of paper or tin; or the poisoning of the caterpillars either with traps of fresh vegetation tied in bundles and, after being dipped in a mixture 'of Paris green and water, or other I poison, distributed at short intel‘ValS iover infested land, when the cut- ‘ worms appear. A modification of 1 this remedy which has given the greatest satisfaction in British Co- lumbia during the past season. is known as the poisoned bran remedy. This was first used successiullv on a large scale some years ago in Califor- nia as a remedy against graSShOppers in vineyards, since which time it has come more and more into use, owingr to its efficacy and the ease with which; it can be prepared and applied. Thisi mixture consists merely of bran. moistened with sweetened water, and Paris green, mixed in the prOportion of 1 pound to :30 pounds of bran. In’ making this mixture the most con- venient method is to dampen a small quantity with the sweetened water. a few ounces of sugar in a pail of water. and then add more dry bran until the whole is almOSt dry again. If the Paris green is added to the bran without dampening it. it sinks with remarkable rapidity to the bot- tom, even in this dry mixture, when it is stirred. If it is desired to use the poison as a wet application. more water can be added until it is of about the same consistency as per- ridge; but if to be used dry, dry bran must be stirred in until the mixture will run through the fingers easily. This poison may then be applied to the land. either around or between plants to be protected. or a row of it may be run close to the drills of crops planted in that manner. The best remedies for the squash- bug. which inl‘ests squash, pumpkin. and cucumber vines, hand-picking early in the morning is claimed to be the most practical remedy. But the young bugs can be destroyed by Spraying with kerosene emulsion or whale-oil soap. To make kerosene emulsion take two gallons of coal oil, half a pound of soap, and one gal- lon of water. Dissolve the soap in water by boiling; take from the fire. and, while hot. turn inthe kerosene and churn briskly for five minutes. Before using dilute with nine parts of water. To prepare whale-oil soap, add one pound of the soap to five gal- lons of water. For tomato leaf-blight. as soon as the disease is discovered, use Bor- deaux mixture, the formula for which is given in the remedy for flea-beetle in potatoes. For the pea-moth add one pound of Paris green to one hundred gallons of water and add one pound of whale- oil soap to every twenty-five gallons of the mixture, and spray. For the Rocky Mountain locusL take one part of Paris green, one part of salt (the locusts will not touch it without), and eleven parts of bran. Mix into a mash, adding as much water as the stufi will hold. Spread in as small lumps as possible. A pound of Paris green should make enough mixture to spread a strip two miles long by fifteen yards wide. Spread fresh stuff every two days. If the seeds have not been treated for pea-weevil fumigste with carbon bisulpbide as soon as possible after the peas are ripe. The best remedies for checking the increase of °wheatostem saw fly are the burning or ploughing deeply of all stubbles, also burning such straw as is not. used by the following spring. and summer {allowing in June every other year.
