Cucumber Beetle: a, larva; b, adult. about the stem of the food- plant, and the hatched lar- v?e feed on the roots. These larvae are slender, white grubs, and, when abun- dant, may do considerable injury. The major portion of the damage by these in- sects is done by the adult beetles in their feeding on the leaves. The insects pass the winter in the adult or beetle stage, under leaves, logs, and various rubbish. Remedies.—Inclosing the young cucumber or melon vines with netting keeps the beetles from the leaves, and yet admits light and air. Wires thrust in the ground so as to form two crossing arches, like the "basket" on a croquet ground, and covered with cheese cloth or netting, do well. Pyrethrum (see p. 9) may be applied as a powder with some dust or powder gun with excellent results. The powder should be dusted on in the morning when the dew is still on the leaves. Kansas Notes.—This pest is at times very destructive over lim- ited areas. This year it has been very abundant in certain Doug- las county market gardens. OTHER INSECTS ATTACKING GARDEN CROPS.
