tcniologlst of Clem-on College, in ad
vising what to do about his pest, "like
the corn bill bug. is a la?o riser, but
when he starts his appetite acts like !
a hurricane spreading devastation on'
all fides. Tn many gardens this pest j
has probably bosun to aopcar. Rag the
cantcloupcs at once."
Describing in detail what to do,
Prof. Conrad! said:
"Bag the contoloupcs with G-pound
heavy paper bags. The ordinary sugar
bag is too frail. We use a Lag like that
in which hardware stores put nails.
When you bag, give the T.rth a little
loss with your foot so ns to form a
little bill and on this:lay the bagged
fruit. It keeps the bag dry and pre
vents rott-ng. V . ..
"'Preuchln' Bill' says; 'Every
hound lias ita weak point." So hoc e'v
ery bug. nnd some' have more than,
others. A weak point of pickle and
melon , worm? is their appetite. Their
favorite food consists of the buds and
blooms of summer squash, nnd whore
this food :s present it will attract great
aumbers of them.
"It would, however, be no strategy
merely to plant ruuash plants intelli
gently and stop there. The bug3 of
course, would appreciate it ' greatly.
The favorite food would soon be gone
and wouid leave a larger numbj* of
more hearty bugs to destroy ihe-can
teloupes. Squash Ore not trap plants
unle.-s you make them so by spraying
or dusting them with nrsennto of lead
so that when the worms attack them
they will get a dose of poison that wiT
check their voracious appetites. It Is]
late for these squash trap plants this,
season, but not too late lor next sea
son. Therefore, cut-out and save the
following for use n <:t season: .
"i. Plant, in a timely and intelli-!
