Bean Beetle Explained
r' A summary of an article by
L. W. Brannon, Division of
Truck Crop and Garden Insect
Investigations, Bureau of En
tomology and 'Plant Quaran
tine, U. S. Department of Ag
riculture.
: ; For several years the Mexi
I can Bean Beetle has caused
I heavy losses. Growers of beans
I must be prepared to combat
this pest if normal crop yields
are to be harvested.
1 It should be borne in mind
that regardless of winter sur
vival, the insect multiplies so
rapidly that a heavy midsum
mer infestation may be bred
from a light early spring in-!
i festation.
f The insect can be effective-1
I controlled by applying dusts or|
• sprays of the following: 2 or
2 1-2 pounds of finely ground
; Derris (Root), 4 percent or 6
percent Rotenone content, to
50 gallons of water; or 2 2 -2
ounces to 3 gallons water. Be
fore putting derris in sprayer,
' thoroughly mix with a small
quantity of water, then pour
some water into sprayer, add
derris mixture, and then finish
adding required amount bf wa
ter. Use same method if mix
ing in larger quantity. While
spraying, keep material agi
tated at frequent intervals.
Be sure to use derris of a 4
or 5 per cent rotenone content.
Other dependable spray mix
tures are:
Cryolite, 3 pounds to 50 gal
lons of water, or 3 ounces to
3 gallons of water.
Magnesium arsenate, 2
pounds to 50 gallons of wa
ter, or 2 ounces to 3 gallons of
water.
This material is the most
economical, but recent exper
iments show better results
from the use of Derris and
Cryolite. If you use Magnes
ium, be sure to get a standard
brand. In recent years a
brand has been sold that has
been found to injure foliage.
Dusts
For dusting, use from 12 1-2
to 18 3-4 pounds of Derris and
enough talc, wheat flour or
other diluent to make a total
of 100 pounds. This prepares
a dgst containing from 0.60 to
0.75 percent rotenone content.
If rotenone content is great
er or less than 4 per cent, then
vary the diluent content ac
cordingly.
Commercial dust containing
from 0.50 to 0.75 per cent of
rotenone may be obtained rea
dy mixed.
Dusts are usually applied at
dosage of 20 to 25 pounds per
acre.
Caution: Do not use Cryo
lite or Magnesium after bean
pods have begun to form.
Apply material so that it
will reach the undersides of
the leaves where the insect
feeds.
Begin treatment when beet
les are found in the field. As
the beans grow, the new foli
age must be covered with the
material. Repeat the treatment
every 7 to 10 days. Two or
three thorough applications

COURT RULING
(Continued from Page 2)
tionality of the Kerr-Smith to
bacco control bill will be de
layed until some time next
year, prpbably late next
spring.
A definite program of action
involving not only litigation
affecting this act, but that
affecting of phases of the agri
cultural program as well, has
been evolved by the Depart
ment of Justice, in cooperation
with* the legal division of the
Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration.
The program is to present
the cases to the Supreme court
of the United States in their
regular order. The affect of
that program is considered a
highly desirable one. It will
mean that the 1933 act involv
ing the processing taxes and
the AAA voluntary program
will be first presented. The
case will be followed by one
involving the Kerr-Smith act
will come next' and the Bank
head cotton control act will not
be presented to the highest
court until still later.
Tax Comes First
This will not only bring the
cases to the highest court in
the order indicated by the pro
gress to date of the respec
tive cases, but will also insure
the court passing first upon
|Ae processing tax, regarded
■vvr; ,
as the strongest from the gov
ernment’s standpoint, and will
reserve to the last the Bank
head act, regarded as the
weakest of the lot from a le
gal standpoint, although the
Kerr-Smith act also involves
the so-called principle of in
voluntary or compulsory con
trol.

LET OUR TOWN
LOOK AHEAD
It is rare to find a small
town that is giving proper
thought to recreational facili
ties. Around them the coun
try furnishes fields and
streams for exploration and
the citizens forget that as their
town grows these opportunities
for pleasant outings will dis
appear.
Every incorporated commun
ity should buy, as soon as pos
sible, large areas of land to be
kept intact for park purposes.
It would be a good idea to buy
about five times as much land
as anybody thinks the popula
tion will ever need, and
then there mighjt be enough
parks fifty years from now.
Looking ahead should in

Making a city is not a per
formance of the vocal chords
One of the main functions ol
a city, pernaps tne cniei aim,
should be the making of a good
place in which to live. This
includes rich and poor, old and
young. All classes, except pos
sibly the rich, require parks,
playgrounds and other recre
ational centers.
BUY AT
HOME
In this Issue will be found
the advertisements of many
merchants. Thousands of dol
lars go out of our county ev
ery year and it behooves all
thinking people to keep as
much of it at home as pos
sible.
The merchants of this coun
ty are not entitled to charity.
If they cannot deliver the
goods at equal prices, quality
considered, they do not expect
your trade. All that they ask
is a chance to show you their
line, and to quote you their
prices. ,
This newspaper calls atten
tion to the fact that a commun
ity, like an individual cannot
spend its money and keep it,
too, but a community, made up!
of many people, can spend
money time and time again
among its own* members and
keep its money. This is one of
the reasons for the growth of
communities. We think it is
the duty of every citizen of
this county to spend as much
money within its borders as is
profitable, considered from a
standpoint of getting what you
pay for.
