Control Of Bean Beetle Necessary

eorNTY AGENT DESCRIBES IN ~tl i : POINTS (JCf WEANS OF CONTROL

Methods of leccgnizing an I con- ; iling the destructive Mexican bean beetle, which if allowed to reproduce, v,, 1 i destroy soy beans and other crops a . well as t'.q garden variety of b a were pointed out toda\ by E. \V Baker, county .gent The follow ( i c information was prepared by the county agent: The beetle has all the appearance ( i I.jge ladybird beetle, being about , uth • inch long, nearly heraisspheileal, and with yell wish to l, wni.- i wing covers bearing sixteen M:. k slots. The larvae hatching from the eggs are lemon or orango yellow color, being conspicuous and chaiactn,ze: by the fleshy branched spines covering the body, and about one thirl inch in length when full grown, got i beetles and larvae feed on the foliage, usually cn the under surface, the greatest damage being done by t ■ larvae. When full grown the larv .. attar he- itself t , the leaf an d pupates, th pupae being inactive and vin.ilar in color to the active larvae. 1 rvae often migrate to nearby plant- to pupate. The beetles, which hibernate in prot, ted places under leaves, rubbish iind plant remains, emerge in the .piing, probably the latter part of May or early June in Indiana. They toon begin laying eggs from which t , I rrvae hatch, feed and become tna t i. b, i ties in about four and a half or five weeks. S . ng, vigorous, quick-maturing n i - will materially assist th? gr w er in se uring a profitable crop in • Me of the in ct. Thus the ground Minuld he propirly cultivated and fertilized and suitable eat h-maturing v.oirti -hould Ire grown. Since the betl. do not issue until late spr ing, cn t i.rly- maturing crop, planted call . will often mature before the inti t lias become destructively abund ant.

|^OR tlie past six years, tires have been 1 steadily dropping in price at periodic intervals. No one familiar with general economic conditions and production costs could consistently recommend buying tires in advance of current needs as being desirable. But now we have reached the point where crude rubber has declined from $1.20 a pound in 1925 —an artificially high price—/d less than 3c a pound, which is far less than it costs to produce. Cotton, too, has dropped from more than 20c a pound to around Sc a pound, which also is less than its cost of production. These —rubber and cotton —are the two main materials entering into the construction of pneumatic tires. \ STEADY reduction in tire prices has been tY brought about almost entirely by the drastic decline in price of these two basic raw materials.

So in buying your tires now you get the benefit of these two items at less than cost of production, and the benefit also of price reductions made to gn e every possible inducement to stimulate buying for the purpose of keeping labor in the tire factories employed It must be evident, therefore, that tire prices have reached bottom and that you cun wisely and profitably replace such tires as are worn to a point where they will soon become unsafe, and that also you cun anticipate your future requirements to some extent and know you are making a good investment. With the need of promoting employment wherever possible, and the imminence of a substantial revenue tax on tires, 1 believe that you will be benefiting yourselves and the country at large by making jour tire purchases now.
