The Mexican bean beetle is now wide spread in Alamance cdlinty. In appearance the beetle resembles the Colorado potato beetle or the or dinary potato bug, except it is some what smaller, dark brown in color and has sixteen dark spots on the wing covers. The young beetle or nymph is soft bodied, yellow in color and the entire surface of the body ia covered with spine-like projections. Both the young and the adults are ravenous feeders, doing much dam age to plants within a very short time. This is a chewing insect and feeds on the under side of the leaf surface. The principal remedy recommend ed by the State Dept. of Entomology is to use calcinm fluoeilicate one part and hydrated lime three parts. Mix thoroughly and apply as a dust. Applications should be made while the dew is on the plants and care should be taken to get the dust on the underside of the leaves. From one to four applications may be necessary to control the beetle. Calcium fluoeilicate may be had at a local drug store. J. W. BASON, Teacher of Agriculture.

Freak Air Needed By Tobacco Roots Tobacco in a fresh air devotee and even its roots like to have a plentiful supply of the Itfe-givttfg oxygen. "Waterlogged rootlets mean poor quality of tobacco," says K. Y. Floyd, tobacco extension specialist at State College. "That is why we advocate the ridge system of cultivating the crop. Farmers who use this method along with proper soil, good fer tilization and care of the crop always produce a better quality of tobarCo than the aaan who does not. We have found that a con tinuous supply of air circulating in the soil throughout the growing season is essential to the well being of the crop. To secuie such circulation, the middle fur row between the rows most be kept open and below tbe level of the root eyetem." Mr. Floyd states that wheu the water-level in the soil is near the Burfaee of the ground, the ridge used should be rather high and a four - furrow ridge thrown up rather than the usual two-furrow ridge. Tbe rows should be run so as to carry off all surplus water and other drainage provid ed in tbe low places. This method of cultivation baa been explained graphically by Mr. Floyd in extension folder No. 37 recently Issued by the exten sion service of State College. Drawiugs have been made show ing the method of cultivation, step by step, and the implements to use in such cultivation. Copies of the folder are now available sod those who wish to have a copy may secure it by writing the agricultural editor at State Col lege.

Honk of 17-Year Locust Due to Arrive This Year The seventeen-year locust is due to appear in Piedmont North Caroliua just about this time. The iosect wil' coins in euorinous numbers but will probably do lit tle damage except iu places where 'it was abundaut 17 sears ago. "This insect always creates a great deal of iutereat becans it appears iu such enormous uuui bers and because it occurs only every 17 years," says Dr. E P. Me teal f, head of the department of entomology at State College. "In spite of the euormoua num ber, however, the insect does little damage because it lives pri marily in the forests and lays its eggs in forest frees. Occasionally it may do damage to a young orchard where the trees have been planted iu a place where the lo cust was abundant 17 years ago " The locust does its priucipal damage by killing the small branches where it lays its eggs. Farmers having young trees in such situations are advised to watch carefully and if the locusts appear iu abundMMT top ro teal tbe yonng trees by im6HBmi> Mb j ting or tobacco canvas. This MM be removed aa soon' as the loebato ' i disappear. Dr. Metcalf states thai the 17 year locusts are dying hot, bat they will perhaps be abundant in the upper piedmont and monuuus counties this season. Those whs Bad the locusts on their fsrssn will render a service to the ento mology workers by wending speci mens to State College. There is a common superstition that the sting of this insect is dangerous or fatal to man. This is not true, explains Dr. Metcalf, because the locust has no sting and cannot injure man.
