They feed by sucking the juice from the foliage and tender stems, As a result of ‘their feediug habits, th.y cause considerable reducâ€" tion in the annual yield of potatoes, says J..B. Adams, Division of Entomoâ€" logy, Dominion Department of Agu.â€" culture. Although this is of concern to potato growers, aghias bring about anâ€" other ~condition which is far more serious, They are chiefly responsthle for spr:ad ngthe potato vimus diseases from plantt to plant. This they do .n a way somewhat similar to that of mosquitoes in spreading malarita among humans. They â€"feed upcn a diseased plant, take the virus into their bodies, then, after moving to a healthy plant, inj:ct the virus into the plant trssuss.

Canadian scientksts are working, therefore, on a new plan to control these unwanted pests. In Fr:edericton and Woodstock, N. B., potatces are being bred which are resistant to aphid feeding. For reason as yet unknown, scme varisties of potaâ€" toes are repulsive to aphids. These potatoes have little els2s to recommend them but throvgh coop:ration with ihe Hor‘rcultural Divisicn of the Exâ€" perimental Farms Service, they are being crossed with gcod commergial varieties and in time it is hoped to have potattes wh.ch will be both commerclally acceptable and higniy resistant to attacks of aphds. This should prove to be a bocn to potato growers. Not only should potato yields be increased, but there should be a grâ€"at decrease in the soread of the viruses transmitted by aphids. In addition to three meals a day, extra food, in the form of occasional lunches, may be needed by young ‘people to k:ep up with ranvid developâ€" ment. Nutrition experts say that ocâ€" casional "snacks‘" may consist of fresh or dited fruit, raw vegetables, crackers and milk or bread, with butter or peanut butter.
