Poison For Bean Beetle
To control the bean beetle,
dust the underside of the
leaves with a mixture made up
of one part calcium arsenate
and seven parts hydrated or
finely powdered lime. This
calcium arsenate is the same
material that is used for
I oisoning boll weevils. B •
careful to put it on the under
side of the leaves, because it
is there that these beetles arc
found. Put it on when the
first signs of this pest are
noted. Repeat every three to
five days until no further
damage is noticed.

Is it lack of enthusiasm on the part of our people ? o
Is it a lack of vision ? A lack of that power to look all $
