Frost
injury to Leaves of
Fruit Trees.
A correspondent from Central Penn-
sylvania sent to State Zoologist H. A.
Surface, Harrisburg, a number of
leaves from his fruit trees, and asked
if the damage was done by blight,
saying that some persons thought it
was by frost and Others by blight.
He also asked if it was worth while
to spray with Bordeaux mixture.
To these inquiries Professor Surface
replied as follows:
‘“We haye received and examined
the apple twigs, leaves and blossoms
which you sent, and I can say that it
is evident that the injury is by the
frost. The leaves are brown instead
of black, as they would be if they
injured by blight. There has been so
much injury by freezing in this State
this spring that this trouble is now
very common. The trees will out
grow it, although they are tempora-
rily injured. In most of the orchards
in this State the fruit crop is destroy
ed or considerably reduced.
‘Spraying with Bordeoux mixture
on apple, pear and quince trees, or
using extra dilute lime-sulfur solution
instead of Bordeaux (without arsenate
of lead added except when there are
fruits or chewing insects present)
will prove beneficial because it will
help to keep the leaves in a healthy
condition, which is the best means of
insuring the formation of strong vig-
orous fruit buds or spurs this summer
for the fruit crop next year.”

POTATO BEETLE.
The insect commonly called the Po-
tato bug, but more accurately known
as the Colorado or Striped potato
beetle, has again made its appearance
in destructive number over the greater
portion of Pennsylvania. To a person
who wrote for all necessary informa-
tion for surppressing this and kindred
pests, Dr. H. A. Surface, State Zool-
ogist, at’ Harrisburg, replied as fol-
lows:
‘“The insect commonly called the
potato bug is not a ‘bug’ but rightly
called a ‘bettle.’ It is a hard-shelled
chewing insect. In is young stage it
lives as a grub, not at all resembling
the parent, and passes its third stage
as a helpless chrysalis or pupa. In
all of these various features it shows
relationship to the beetles rather than
to the great order of insects common-
ly called Bugs, which have suctorial
rather than biting mouth parts, and in
which the young, although wingless,
resemble the parents in general ap-
pearance.
“The Colorado potato beetle is so
called because it come from the Rocky
Mountain region, reaching this State
about 1872. It has had its period of
abundance and scarcity since then,
but it is here to stay, and it will never
be entirely eradicated. Generally
during seasons following a mild win-
ter it is more abundant than after a
very severe winter.
It feeds on the leaves of various
kinds of plants, but especially on the
ground cherry, tomato and potato.
The eggs are laid in blotches on the
are bright red in color, they are quite
conspicuous. The young, dark red
grubs eat away the tissue of the leaves
and become quite voracious as they
become older. When they reach full
growth they go into the ground where
they pupate and remain for a short
time, and then come forth as adult
beetles which lay eggs and thus pro-
duce a second brood.
‘“The young of this, or sometimes of
the third brood. pass the winter in the
pupal stage in the ground Deep late
fall plowing and winter and spring cul-
tivation help to destroy them, as it
does most insects living in the soil
at that time.
‘There are other forms of insects
called ‘‘Potaton beetles,””which are
more correctly known z
les,” and also called
atobeetle.” T

‘Old-fashioned
ily killed by arsenical sprays as are
the Colorado potato beetles.
‘In spraying for potato pests it is
advisable to combine a fungicide and
insecticide, in order to make both ap-
plications at one time and thus reduce
the expense. This can be done with-
out losing the efficiency of the insecti-
cide for the chewing insects, or of the
fungicide for preventing plant diseases
such as blight ete. For the Colorado
potato beetle arsenate of lead is now
almost universally used by the more
progressive growers, who apply three
pounds to fifty gellons of water or of
the Bordeaux mixture. Ifthe arseate
of lead is is in the dry powdered form
two pounds in fitty gallons of water is
sufficient. A few persons ars still
using Paris green, of which one-half
pound is used in place of the two or
three pounds of arsenate of lead.
‘Experiments have proven that for
purposes of preventing blight and
other diseases, the Bordeaux mixture
is much better than lime-sulphure on
potatoes. Make this by using four or
five pounds of fresh lime and three or
four pounds of bluestone in fifty gal-
lons of water. Make it up fresh as
needed. Dissolve the bluestone in.
anything except a metal vessel. Use
hot water to dissolve it. Dilute to
some extent before adding the lime
water, which, of course, should be
strained when going into the spray
tank. Btir the arsenate of lead until
itis thoroughly suspended in the water
and pour it into the tank containing
the Bordeaux mixture. Keep it agi-
tated, or stired.
‘‘Spray the potatoes when they are
about six inces tall, and repeat this
When Potato bugs are present
spray well with either arsenate of lead
alone, or with Paris green, or with
the arsenate and bordeaux mixture
combined.
‘It should be remembered that the
Bordeaux mixture is only a fungicide,
and in this case is used for the pre-
vention of blight, It doesnot prevent
scab, neither does it kill beetles with-
out the addition of the arsenate.”’
