FIGHTING THE BEAN
BEETLE
Some folks about thia town are
malting a fight on the bear beetle.
A dish of inap beana in too invttlnf to
see the peaky little fussy worm de
(troy it without Rome protest. The
protest it made in the form of spray
ing the vine* with • preparation of
arsenic. There seems to be two forma
of the poison on the market. In this
town a form of it is sold at sixty
cents a pound, and directions aay W
mix it in a proportion of about one
heaping table spoon full to a gallon of
water and spray with a spray that
throwa the nixtare up and deposit*
it on the under side of the leaf. We
happen to know of citteena who have
rid their vines of the beetle with this
process. They tell as that there is
another form of the poison that is
prepared to be used as a dusting
powder and is sold at thirty cents a
prund. Just what results are being
had from its use we have net heard,
but it is safe te conclude that any
preparation sold will give relief if
used according to directions and prop
erly applied. The beetle ia the wont
peat that hat hit this (action, for it ia
hard to fight and gets in ita work in
a rapid way, destroying the vines be
fore one hardly finds that It is
present. The bear, ia the most satis
fying food we hrve here both winter
iwd summer and te have to give it
' I up is unthinkable. We (imply must

's that there ia no way to know how
