(3) A Paris green mixture (their own), which on. beans should only be nsed with dusting machine, 15 to 20 lbs. per acre, put up in 100 pound bags, $4.60 per bag. , The principle of fighting them is the same as with the potato-beetle, but beans are more likely o be burned by the poison, hence light, even applications are necessary.heavy dosing with very strong poison will do more harm than good. Dust,enough to whiten the top loaves, need not worry about lower leaves nor under surfaces.
