Attention is called to the story
in this issue by County Agent
Harwell about bugs and worms.
According to this, bugs and
worms are a pretty expensive
luxury for the farmers of this
county. Every farmer should
read and ponder his statements
carefully. In all the older farm
ing sections of the country in
insect pests are a yearly problem,
and it is coming to the point in
this county where they must be
reckoned with and fought sys-
tematicalIy. The sooner this
fact is recognized and acted upon
tbe less the loss will be. Mr..
Harwell is doing an inestimable
service to the farmers of the
county in pointing the way to
wage an effective war on these
pests.
