V::; . ' THE BEAN BEETLE HERE ' v t The Mexican Beau Beetle, first making its Jackson county appear ' nnec last year, is here in large nuni ! bers and greater destructivcness in 'many parts of the county. ' ' ? The little "varmints" are very de v ' v strnetive to snap and shell beans, lima beans, and with less destructive ness also attack cow pegs and so.ja beans, and arc also found on okra, corn, and other growing plants, j According to J. C. Crawford, as sistant at the Bcan-bcctb field station at Bryson City, the pests are native of Mexico, and have been found in the United States since 1864, and ^since 1881} have been a pest of beans in the Southwest. They were foun-L at Birmingham, Ala., in 1920 and _ have been spreading northeast into Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina an<l North Carolina. They first appeared in this state in Chero kee and Clay counties in 1921, and in (Irahaih, Swain, Macon, Jackson, Transylvania and the west edge of Hendertsoif, last year. * The beetles' are about one-fourth inch long, , yellow-coppery, and be long to the, 4 4 Lady -beetle" family, have 8 small black sjtots on each up per wing. i - .The light-yellow e^gs are laid in groups of 40 to GO on the under side of leaves, and stand on end, hatch to worms which are soft-bodied, yel low and spiny, these when growu clmuge to pupae and then to beetles which mat?e, lay e^gs and die. * Experience in Alabama indicates about 80 per /pent damage to shell and snap Leans, (if) per cent to limfl beans, 25 per cent to California black eye peas, and 5 to 10 per cent to cmvpeas and soybeans. The beetles seem u> avoid poisoned leaves, and beans afe susceptible to injury by poision, and as thev feed on the un der side of leaves, are not easy to : ' rciicit. If in doubt as to .whether the beetle in your patch is the genuine, send sjtcciincii to /J. C. Crawford, . Bryson City, f\vith your name and address. , .
