Control.—The fact that theyoung larva? feed on the foliagemakes it possible to destroythem with arsenicals, and byspraying the young foliage witharsenate of lead 3 pounds to thebarrel, as advised for the stripedcucumber-beetle, they should be readily controlled. The culturalmethods advised for the control of the last species will of coursebe equally applicable for Fi- 290. — The melon-worm moth{Diajihania hyalinita Linn.)— en-larged. rPhoto by Qiiaintance.)
