CARE NEEDED TO KEEP
INSECTS FROM BEANS
Food Garden Commission Gives
Advice on Fighting Pests.

Beans are one of the most impor-
tant war crops of the garden. Ac-
cording to information given out by
the National Emergency Food Gar
den Commission, special care should
be taken to keep the beans free from
insects.
Leaf beetles are the hardest pests
to fight on the bean plants. The
are dark or pale striped and attack
only the leaves of the bean vines.
Arsenate of lead should be sprayed
on the plants as soon as these insects
appear. and the spraying should be
repeated at intervals of about ten
days. Bordeaux mixture repels these
pests, but will not kill them.
Life-sucking plant lice attack bean
vines. This is the insect that re-
quires strenuous effort to extermin-
ate. Lice suck the sap from all parts
of the plant The sign of lice is
when the leaves of the plant begin
to crumple.
Nicotine sulphate. IL applied when
the lice first appear, will kill them.
This poison will kill the lice when
it touches their bodies. Occasional
spraying of the bean plants with
bordeaux will insure bean plants
against the ordinary diseases of the
garden.

BREAK WITH BERLIN

Revolutionary Tone Heard in
Speeches at Madrid.

LONDON. Nay Pa dispatch from
the correspondent of The Times at
Madrid describes a mass meeting at
the bull ring yesterday, in which reso-
buttons were adopted urging that
Spain break with Germany. He says
10000 were present. The dispatch
says:
"A strong revolutionary tone rang
through all the speeches. Their ef-
feet was that the present war is a
conflict between absolutism and de-
mocracy. and therefore the speakers
were heart and soul with the allies.
The speakers agreed, however. that
Spain's active Intervention in the war
was undesirable and impossible. ow-
ing to the state of impotence in which
Spain finds herself after years of mis-
government, but the honor and future
OF the country demanded an immedi-
ate rupture of diplomatic relations
with Germany"
