BEANS AND BUGS Just now more people' are inter- 1 ested in the bean beetle, than any other question. There is no quick or easy way out. One local man says the easiest way to get them off mt the beans ia to pull up the beatus and shake the bugs off. Another suggests plowing them under. Poisons will kill, if you can put a quanity where the bugs eat. That means to bed the plants over and dust or have an extension rod long enough so you can turn the nozzle aomwhat upward, so as to throw spray under the leaves. A general fog of dust around the beans does not leave enough on the undersides of the leaves to kill. Paris green, arsenate of lead, And calcium arsenate will kill the beetle as well as any other buga or worms, prepared ag follows: Paris green for dusting through cloth, one pound to one bu. slacked lime powder not shaken down. Air slacked or water slacked, or build ers lime will do. For use in dust gun one pound to nine pounds of the same lime. The gun uses so much less, that it must be much stronger. For liquid spray, two teaspoons to each gallon of water, and add a 1 small handful of lime to each gal_ Ion to help prevent burning. CAUTION: Fresh cold water from the spring, sprayed on plants during heat of day will burn leaves. Set in sun to warm some before using. Calcium arsenate is used as paris green, and is cheaper. Arsenate of lead is used as above except half a? much more is needed | to do 'a good job of killing. Arsen ate of lead is the best to not wa-.i off during rains. If a bug gets some dope, but not enough to kill him the first time, he then become* more or less immune to poison, and grows fat. Some are afraid to dust or spray, less they get poison on their beans and kill some of the family. There is no danger If beans are washed well before cooking. Do your best to Idll all this first coming of adult beetles, and pick their eggs off. This done and later work will be materially reduced. L. A. Amnion, County Agent.
