Wedding Solemnized
On Wednesday
' Winston-Salem, June IG.
Beautiful in its solemnity and

At the altar lovely white
roses were arranged and the

Voice" by Saint Saens, was
rendered by Miss Mary Cash.

: Lowry Scott, of Durham. Wal
ter Vaughn and Edward

No Danger From
Poison On Beans
i! Raleigh, .l ine 1:? One might
. | suffer from colic or acute in
• ; digestion from eating too!
many beans before he would i
i suffer from the poison spray |
, used to protect the crop from
' the beetle.
"There is no harm in eating
l>eans sprayed or dusted with j
the usual poison mixtures used
jto control the Mexican bean
beetle," declares C. H. Bran-1
non, extension entomologist at,
State College. "Repeated tests:
I have proven that a person •
•j would have to eat several 1
pecks of unwashed beans at
• one sitting before he would be j
' made sick from the spray j
poisoning. Of course everyone
washes beans before they are.
i; cooked so the chance of even!
being nauseated by spray pois
on is out of the question it tile |
beans are washed several times
before being cooked or canned." ,
These statements from Mr. j
'Brannon were prompted by!
: the unusual number of letters j
received indicating some tear J
1 that poisoned beans were not;
' good as food. There is abso
lutely no danger, states Mr.
Brannon. It is impossible to
use very strong poisons on the
1 bean vines because they are
; too tender and are easily in
-1 jured by sprays or dusts which
are too caustic. Then too most
1 of the poison will fall on the
■ leaves. In all control practices,
1 it is essential that the poison
; cover the under surface of the'
• leaves.
> The common poisons used
' are magnesium arsenate, cal- 1
cium fluosilicate, sodium fluosi-,
' licate of calcium arsenate, j
1 Calcium arsenate is probably i
■ the cheapest and is being used J
• more than any other poison in j
• certain sections of the moun- j
" tains, states Mr. Brannon. This ;
M poison may be used as a spray
•jor as a dust.
Bean Beetle Digging
Into Tarheel Counties
1 The Mexican Bean Beetle,
■ now appears to be on the ram-1
I page in the western part of
1 [the state according to reports;
1 now being received by State j
1 Entomologist R. W. Leiby of
the Department of Agriculture;
1 The adult beetles have just
■ left their winter quarters.
• found the garden snap beans,
- and are now devouring the!
■ plants and laying eggs for an-!
1 other brood of beetles. Much
'> distress at the destructive
feeding habits of the beetles is
indicated by gardeners in their
■ letter to the Department of
Agriculture, the writers de- !
manding an immediate sugges- j
tion for poisoning the beetles |
■ without injury to the beans.
! An effective control can be j
! secured by dusting the plants i
! with a dust mixture of one!
> part of Calcium Arsenate to 1
1 each nine parts of lime. Cal-1
• cium Fluosilicate ccfmpound is
also satisfactory for poisoning
' the beetles and their grubs!
■ says entomologist Leiby. The
poison should be applied to the
' underside of the leaves where
i the beetles do most of their
: feeding, to be satisfactory. If
• the beetles persist or appear
again, the plants should re
• ceive a second application of
; the poison.
: Calcium Fluosilicate while
- poisonous to the beetle is not
! poisonous to the human, says
Dr. Leiby, but it is ad-'
vNcd that the bears be wash-,
ed well before they arc cooked
and eaten.
I The bean beetle is now
 known to infest the «1G
; ernmost counties of the State,
and is moving eastward each
year. It first entered the
. southwest corner of the State
during the summer of 1921.

The United States Govern- X

jthe enforcement, or lack of j 0
I enforcement, of that law has
jbeen a sharp weapon in the Q
