To- bacco, ashes or any dust bath are good repellants. The cucumber beetle is easily frightened, and continual cultivation will often do much to keep the field clear until the plants reach a stage where the beetles will not do much injury. The melon aphis is doubtless the most serious pest that the canta- loupe has to contend against in many places, and one against which resistance is least effectual where conditions are favorable to the aphis. Fortunately for the growers in Colorado, the natur...al enemies of the aphis usually hold them in check quite effectually; the lady-beetle, the Syrphus flies and the lace-winged fly are the principal enemies to the aphis, some seasons a little parasitic fly destroys many aphis. The only effective measure seems to be a careful watch of the fields to destroy the first plants found to be infested with aphis, as it seems that only a few insects are able to pass the winter, and they seem to spread from a few isolated points, and if these can be destroyed by finding them and burying them, early, has seemed to be the only plan to adopt, as spraying and fumigation has been tried by the most competent experts with very unsatisfactory results.
