Thelife history has been fully described by Dr. Riley (). Control.—Where the plants are sprayed for the ea])bage wormswith Paris green or arsenate of lead, there will proljably be littletrouble with flea-beetles. Otherwise, spray with arsenate of lead,3 to 5 pounds per barrel, or Paris green one-third to one-halfpound, adding the resin soap (see page 46) or sticker, so as togive the foliage a good thick coating, for the spray probably actsfully as much as a repellant as a remedy. Where injury is antici-pated it will be well to dip the plants in arsenate of lead 1 pound.
