The Potato Leafhoper and Its Control (open access)

The Potato Leafhoper and Its Control

"The potato leafhopper is a serious and costly enemy of potato, bean, sugar beet, and other crops in the North Central and Northeastern States. It is a very small green insect which often occurs in vast numbers. It injures potato by feeding on the foliage and causes a diseased condition called "hopperburn" which may, under conditions favorable to its spread, ruin an entire crop in one or two weeks. This leafhopper can be controlled and the "hopperburn" held in check by the proper and timely application of Bordeaux mixture. Yields are greatly increased when this spray is used. This bulletin has been prepared to acquaint farmers with the insect, the nature of its injury to vegetable crops, and the proper measures for its control." -- p. 2

An Improved Method of Making Sugar-Beet Sirup (open access)

An Improved Method of Making Sugar-Beet Sirup

"This bulletin tells how to grow sugar beets in the garden and describes a simple process of making from them a palatable and nutritious table sirup with a pleasant flavor. A patent for the process of making the sirup has been issued for the benefit of the public, so that anyone is free to use it. Tests have proved the process to be practicable. Sugar beets may be grown in any locality which has tillable soil that is capable of producing good crops of vegetables. A small piece of ground is sufficient for planting a few rows of beets -- enough to furnish the family with sirup. The tools needed are necessary in any garden operation -- a spade, a hoe, and a rake. All mature sugar beets, if properly handled, will produce a sirup. The beets are cleaned, peeled, cut into thin slices, and soaked in hot water to extract the sugar. The liquid is then treated and boiled down to the thickness desired. Detailed directions are given in the following pages." -- p. 2
