Good Riddance, THE FAMOUS "POTATO BUG", known '.:ally as the Colorado Potato Beetle, is �ost,a thing of the past in Ontario, experts the Crops Branch, Ontario Department of 'culture, state. In fact, parts of the province, espeoially e northern areas, have " never known of ' Pest, although it was common in older parts ' the province until recent years. There was a time, experts point out, when dren on the farm had the after-school or 'day job either of picking the bugs or ap- ing paris green, to the plants. Mr. Potatovtato Bu g However, since the advent of efficient power sprayers and more modern chemicals, control of the potato bug is the least of potato growers' worries. In fact it is now possible to go over hundreds of acres of potatoes with- out finding one. However, officials of the Crops Branch point out that modern pests are flea beetles, aphids and leaf hoppers, as well as virus, bac- terial and fungus diseases and blight, scab and other .afflictions. And they are said to be,jjust as troublesome if not treated early in the season. Harry MacAethur, Mrs. Mitchell, `Queen St., has purchased the L. C.
