The beetles of all three species feed on the foliage andwhen numerous will attract attention. Control.—Whenever the plants are not in fruit, the beetlesmay be destroyed by spra3ing with \ pound of Paris green or3 pounds or arsenate of lead per barrel, preferably applied withBordeaux mixture. Where the plants are customarily sprayedwith Bordeaux mixture for leaf diseases, arsenites may be addedand will probably control this and other strawberry pests. Badlyinfested fields should be plowed under deeply as soon as the cropis secured and new beds should l^e planted at some distance fromthem. The St
