JUNE BUGS ARE EXPECTED
IN VERY LARGE NUMBERS
A widespread epidemic of June
bugs is predicted for this year by
scientists connected with the New
York botanical garden.
These large brown or greenish
beetles appear periodically. The in
sects spend years as white grub
■\yorms crawling beneath the ground,
and eating the roots of grass. When
they are ready to reproduce, they
emerge as winged June bugs
their eggs, and soon die.

cents to the good. He says that he
found that his chickens paid him
good wages for the time which he
spent in the care and management
of same. Mr. Finch has only a five
acre farm, and two acres of this is
given over to his chickens, the cow
and the pasture, an orchard, as well
as about 12 stands of bees. We will
lay I probably not find many such two
j acres in McDowell county that is pro-
I ducing more than these two acres of
land. Mr. Finch bought 1000 S. C.
I White Leghorn chicks this spring,
and his son, Roy, purchased about
300 of the same variety.
J. L. Morgan sowed 40 acres of
Korean Lespedeza seed this spring.
He sowed several acres last year and
was well pleased with the results. He
likes it as a grazing crop for cattle
and hogs, as well as for soil improv
ing purposes. He stated that he be
lieved that it was hard to find a bet
ter plant for soil impFOvement pur
poses when all the advantages of the
Korean Lespedeza were considered.
Rev. J. C. Story says that R. L.
Greenlee has three acres of the fin
est Irish potatoes that he has ever
seen. This is a “patch” that “Uncle
Bob” is doing his very best to see
how many bushels of potatoes he
can make per acre and the cost per
bushel. Mr. Greenlee got all the in
formation he could get from and
through the office of County Agent
and hopes to be able to make this a
fine demonstration for all the far
mers of McDowell county on “Grow
ing Irish Potatoes Profitable in Mc-
i Dowell County". This demonstration
; is on his farm in “Turkey Cove”, or
I Woodlawn.

survey to determine the amount of
milk available had been completed
and that the survey showed that they
could not furnish enough milk at this
jtime to establish a cheese factory.
