Clean culture and the destruction of vines as soon as the crop is har- vested will do much to keep this pest in check. 48 Cucumber flea beetle (Epitrix cucumeris). Brown- ish, gnawed spots on leaves made by numerous black jumping beetles about j\ inch long. They are frequently very injurious. The young live on the roots of various plants. Treatment: spray vines with bordeaux mixture, with poison or with a combina- tion of the two. Dusting the affected plants with plaster of paris, ashes, etc. will also afford some protection. 49 Squash bug (A n a s a t r i s t i s). Wilting leaves with their under surface infested by green- ish young or by the large, gray- ish brown stink bugs about f inch long. The eggs are depos- ^^^^^^ h ited in clusters on the under surface of the leaves. Treatment: collect and de- stroy the early appearing bugs. Place chips and similar shelters near the vines and kill each morning the bugs collected un- derneath. Crush the brownish eggs on under surface of the leaves. 50 Common asparagus beetle (Crioceris asparagi). Slate colored grubs about \ inch long or beetles about \ inch long, prettily marked with yellow, blue and red, eat the more tender parts of the plants. They breed during the greater part of the growing season. Occurs on Long Island, in the Hudson river valley and in the lake regions of the western part of the state. Treatment: the daily cutting of producing beds serves to keep. Fig. 41 Squash bug: a adult female twice natural size; b, c and d details of structui'e more enlarged (after Chittenden, U.
