MEXICAN BEAN BEETLES ARE INVADING THE COUNTRY (Continued from Page i) nozzle, on a 90 degree elbow, at the end of the spray rod. Where two nozzles are used to the row, one nozzle should be turned slightly forward, so that the sprays will not meet too closely. For gardens and very small patches a small compressed-ait hand sprayer may be suc cessfully used. For fields from half an acre to 2 acres in size, a barrel sprayer may be mounted on a wagon and a row sprayed from both sides by the arrange ment of the nozzles on a boom or a wheelbarrow sprayer may be mounted on a slide and one row at a time treated in a similar man ner at walking speed. While neither of these types of machines is all that could be desired, a grower with less than 4 or 5 acres of beans can hardly afford to in vest in a high-priced tractior sprayer for this use alone. Grow ers who have 5 or more acres ol beans should use a traction type - of horse-drawn sprayer or a pow er sprayer which will spray a’ least two rows at once. On large) acreages a 4-row sprayer should be used. The larger sprayers should be fitted with a boom so that three nozzles may be directed to eacl row . Excellent results can be oh tained if the rows are straight and are planted at regular distances At least 150 pounds should b< maintained. Dusts. Although spraying w'ith liquic poisons has given,, consistent!} better results -against this bear beetle than dusting, the latter form of poison is becoming more popular year by year, and in the infested territory most grower! prefer to apply insecticides tc their beans in dust form. Also where medium infestation exists dusting gives good results. Th« following mixtures have been sue cessfully applied, and the grower should choose the one best suited to his use: MAGNESIUM ARSENATE DUST. , For very heavy infestation: * Magnesium arsenal*. 1 pork Hydrated lime 3 portk The rote of application is 10 to 12 poundi per acre. For lighter infentation: •Magnesium arsenate . . .. ■ • 1 part Hydrated lime. s part* Rate of application, 12 to 15 pound* tc the acre. CALCIUM ARSENATE AND LIME DU8T xCalcium arsenate .* 1 part. Hydrated lime . ® parts Rate of application. 15 to 20 pound* pei acre. CALCIUM ARSENATE, SULPHUR ANE LIME DUST. (Alabama Experiment Station Formula.) x Calcium arsenate . 1 P*rt Fine dusting sulphur . 1 Kate •( application. 12 to 15 pounds per acre. ‘Less than 6.5 per cent water-soluble arse nic pentoxide. xLeae than 0 2 per cent water-aolnble aree nic pentoxide. ■ Applying the Dusts. The dust should be directed to the under surfaces of the leaves, covering as much foliage as pos sible. Enough of the mixture should be applied so that between 2 and 3 pounds of the arsenical in the dust is distributed on an acre of beans. Where a 1-9 calcium arsenate mixture is used, the grower may apply 15 to 20 pounds of the mixture to the acre of bush beans, and good results' may be obtained under favorable 1 conditions with only 15 pounds. Where the calcium arsenate, sul phur and lime mixture is used, 12 to 15 pounds is sufficient for an acre. Where magnesium arse nate is employed, 10 to 12 pounds of the 1-3 mixture or 12 to 15 pounds of the 1-3 mixture to the acre is sufficient. Dust mixtures may be prepar ed on the farm by placing the in gredients in a steel drum or bar rel, which is then tightly closed and rolled about for a distance of 400 or 300 feet. At the same time it should be tipped on end at in tervals of about 50 feet. Dust should be aplied with a good duster; never with a sack. For gardens and small patches of less than a fourth of an acre, hand dusters of the bellows or air pump type are satisfactory. On fields over a fourth of an acre in size and up to 5 acres, a larger machine should be used. A knap sack type of bellows duster with a spout attached to a flexible hose is effective. The dust can he directed to the under surfaces of the leaves with this machine. A fan type of duster may be used if the nozzle is turned sidewise so ; that the dust is directed under the leaves. Where 4 or 5 acres of beans must be treated at one time, a horse-drawn type of 2-row duster is preferable where rapid treat ment is desired. The .nozzles, as with hand dusters, should he di rected to the under surfaces of the leaves. In the treatment of more than 3 acres of beans, a 2-horsc, 4-row duster is the most effective. Rest results have been obtained with a traction type of machine. For all dusting and spraying opera tions, the rows should he planted equal distances apart amt should be straight. On good soil the average distance between rows should be 3 feet. There is practically no danger of arsenical poisoning from con sumption of treated beans, but they should be rinsed twice in Mail Orders Will Be Given Prompt and Careful Attention Six hours after we receive your films they will be finished and in Post Office on way back to you.

Culture Practices Favorable foi Control. Under Mexican bean beetle conditions every effort should be made to grow a vigorous, quickly maturing crop. The land should be well tilled and well fertilized, and an early-maturing variety of beaus, suitable to the locality should he grown. In cases of se vere infestation, the control <>1 this pest on pole beans is expert* si\ e because of the slow maturity of the crop and the greater num ber of insecticide applications necessary. Pole beans cannot b< easily treated with horse-drawi machinery. The spring crop should h< planted »s early as approved prac ,tice in the locality will permit, lr 1922. in Alabama, the early spring crop was not severely injured be fore it was harvested, but plant ings made a month later were it most cases either destroyed or se verely injured. The fall crop should be plantet as late as possible. 1'he bceth does not reproduce so rapidly ir fate August and September as ir spring and early summer. MRS. BEN GOODMAN PASS ED AWAY LAST SATUR DAY. The readers of The Messengei will he grieved to hear of the death of Mrs. Ben Goodman, oi Burlington, which occurred at the Wesley Long Hospital, ir Greensboro, on Saturday morn ing at 3:15 o'clock, following an operation on Tuesday night for appendicitis. Before marriage she was Mist Eula Blackmon, a native of Samp son county. The family moved tt Haw River when she was a child and in young womanhood she was married to Mr. B. N. Hughes He lived only a few years, and she was married to Mr, Goodman in 1905, and they had made theit home in Burlington since that time. She was about 55 yean old. She is survived by her husband and a son and daughter, Mrs. t R. Faucctte, and Harrison Good man, both of Burlington ; one sis ter, Miss Julia Blackmon, of Haw River; three brothers, George Blackmon, of Burlington, and J. H. arid W. F. Blackmon, of Greensboro; and two half-broth ers, John Thornton, of Cramer ton, and Sam Thornton, of Haw fields. She was a member of the Dis ciples church, in Sampson county, where she had joined as a child. She was a woman of most esti mable qualities, a devoted wife and mother, a kind and generous neighbor and a faithful and lov ing friend. The funeral was held at the! home Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock. Rev. Dr. G. O. Lankford conducting it, and the body in terred in Pine Hill cemetery by W. Levi Burke. The following acted as pall bearers: Messrs. F. P. Rudd, Van Winnittgham, W, E. Hay, J. A. Barnwell, L. R. Whitted, H. j W. Trollinger, E. L. Rowland, M. R. Smith and J. V. Simpson. 1 . GENERAL COUNTY COURT CONVENED LAST MONDAY Alfred Cook and Lawson Turner Sentenced for Violating Vol stead Act. The General County Court of Caswell started off auspiciously in its first session last Monday, Judge M. C. Winstead presiding. When the court convened Judge Winstead said that he would be glad to hear any expressions from the people of the audience, favor able or unfavorable. A number of the people present made a few remarks approving the court, among them being Attorney E. T. Upchurch, Attorney Robert T. Wilson. Attorney W. B. Horton, Clerk George A. Anderson and Thomas S. Neal. A large number of the citizens of Caswell were present, all of whom were greatly interested in the court. The general opinion appeared to he that it would prove beneficial to the county and give general satisfaction. For a number of yekrs the courts of most of the counties of the State have become congested and some remedy had to be pro vided. The Legislature seemed to be determined not to increase the judicial districts of the State, so it has become necessary to es: tablish inferior courts. We have been informed that the Record j er’s Court of this county has paid | well from a financial standpoint, having paid into the treasury for the two years it was operated more than $15,000 in fines and for feitures, this alone has justified the establishment of the court. A large number of criminals have been sent to the roads and we un derstand that very few, if any of those convicted of violation of the criminal law has been brought back for a second offense. In the establishment of the (ieneral County Court, it has a larger jurisdiction and will save the county from having more than two terms of Superior Court, the General County Court taking care of the business, and in this way, the people will get their business through court without j '■'w'* “Ones of the; $evenJ’ ZT- ' ' -""".

L ^U»egit unnecessary delay as has been the case heretofore. The people of Caswell county seem to he getting closer together than they have ever been politi cally, and this means that the county will do bigger and greater things, because when they unite on the matters that arise, instead of lighting each other, it will be easier to accomplish something, Two or three minor cases were disposed of Monday. Alfred Cook, of Pelham, was tried for making whiskey, found guilty and fined $100 and costs, togeth er with a suspended sentence of iK months on the road condition ed upon good behavior. Lawson Turner, of Pelham, was given eight months in the county home for selling whiskey. He has rheumatism and can hardly walk. His daughter, Beu lah burner, will be heard for the same offense before the juvenile Judge, George A. Anderson, on next Saturday. DANVILLE GIRLS CAMP A WEEK AT THE ROCK HOUSE Not long ago the following Danville girls, members of the First Baptist church, spent a week at the Rock House in Cas well county, and had a rousing good time. The names of the girls composing the party were: FJise McLaughlin, 850 Grove street; Mary McCrary, 749 Main street; Martha Ferguson, Park street ; Jessie Bennett and Mabel Bennett, College avenue; Orline White. McKenny, Va.; Helen Adams, Mountain View, and Re becca Moore, McCarthy street, Raleigh, N. C. Jessie Bennett and Orline White were the chap erones. SHERIFF GUNN AND HIS MEN MAKE 2 CAPTURES .Sheriff Jonn H. Gunn, assisted by Deputies J. C. Long, C. D. Barker and J. O Powell, captur ed Alfred Cook making fire-water last Saturday morning at 7 o'clock, after lying in ambush all nignt. Cook was making the stuff in two tin tubs. There were about 50 gallons of mash. The sheriff and his helpers also caught Lawson Turner and his daughter, Beulah, selling whiskey last week. Both of the above cases were brought to court last Monday. LOCALS AND PERSONALS. The revival is to begin at Con nally’s church on the first Sunday in August. They have what is called "All Day Meetings” at Connally’s with dinner on the ground. There was much inter est displayed in the meeting there last year, and it is expected that no less interest will be shown this year. Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Adams and Mrs. Walt were visiting Mrs. Sal lie H. Jones recently. Miss Hannah Bradncr, of Yan ceyville, has returned home after spending the week with her grandfather, J. C. Smith, at Blanche, scene last Saturday night when daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Pender, became the bride of Ed~ Moore, of Ringold, Va. The cere mony, which was witnessed by a large assemblage of society and many guests from out of town, was {performed by the pastor, the Rev. Jason Leon MacMillan. It was a naval wedding, and the bridegroom and his ushers, with the exception of the bride's broth er, all officers of the navy, wore the white service uniforms. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bride and bridegroom passed under tth crossed swords of the ushers. The bride entered the church with her father, by whom she was given in marriage. She wore a period gown of white satin made bouffant style with an uneven hem line. The bodice was of satin .with a yoke and tight sleeves of rose point lace. Her veil of rose point lace over tulle, which reached to the end of her court train, was arranged from a cap of lace and orange blossoms and her flowers were a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley and {gardenias. Her only ornament was a pearl brooch which has been an heirloom in the family for over a hundred and fifty years. The bridegroom had as his best man his brother, Lindsey L.

Later in the evening Lieuten ant Moore and his bride left for a motor trip North, and after Au gust i, will reside at the Roose velt Hotel, Washington . MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE. •> The Messenger has been asked to publish the means recommend ed for the control of the Mexi can bean beetle, which has invad ed this section like a scourge this year. We secused Farmers' Bulletin No. 1407 (0. S. Department of Agriculture) from the office of Fred Walker, county agent of Rockingham county, Reidsville, and are publishing a part of that relating to the control of the beetles, together with a letter from our State entomologist, which Bradshaw and Thompson, nf Burlington, happened to have. If the people of this section hope to have any more snapbeans I or butter beans this year they had better follow the directions | for controlling the pest, as pub lished in The Messenger this week. J. TABB NEBLETT VISITS HIS SISTERS AT MILTON ). Tabb Neblett, of Lunenburg county, Va., is spending several weeks with his sisters, Msr. E. D. Winstead and Mrs. Belle Tay lor, at Milton, and says that his health has improved considerably during his stay there. He has been in poor health for some time. Mr. Neblett’s mother was Miss Victoria Garland before her mar riage, who for some years follow ing her marriage lived at Long wood, which is called the Donoho place.
