car, the type to which all moderate priced cars
must come, for in addition to light weight and
low operating cost, men now demand performance,
luxury, comfort and endurance. The Essex is
easy to drive. 1t turns in a short radius. 1t
steers easily. 1t be parked in spaces too
small for the average car 1t has many qualities

Ask yourself what car is so modern, what is the
type of the futre, what light can match its per-

If careful watch is not kept, the
Colorado potato beetle is certain 10

"slugS' are so well known that no de-
ScriptiOn is necessary here.
The range of this pest covers a large
portion of the United States, but it is
not found extensively or in especially
Injurious numbers near the Rocky
mountains. 1t abOunds from New Eng
land and Canada to Florida, westward
to Texas, and in the northern Pacific
region, where ii has become trouble
some only recently. Both the 'slugs"
(the young, or larvae), and the
beetles (adults) feed upon the potato
plants. After passing the winter in
the ground, the beetles usually appear
at about the same time as the potato
plants, lay their eggs, and continue
feeding. They often destroy small
areas. especially those grown for gar
den purposes. When the 'slugs" of
the first crop begin their work they
usually finish up that begun by the
overwintered beetles, leaving only bare
stems, which become dry and black.
After eXhausting the potato, the
beetles attack eggplant and other
plants of the potato family, including
tomato, ground cherry, jimpson weed,
and related weeds. In the most north
ern range of this insect there is prob
ably only one generation a year, but
two generations and a partial third oc-

Ducks, guineas, and other domestic

also do snakes, toadS, and skunks,
which frequently gorge on them. Ar

the base. Baling the straw direct
from the thrasher time and pre-
vents possible injury from weathering,
but the expense of baling is too great
TO justify it's common use. If the straw
is baled after stacking, any part which
is spoiled should be spread as manure
or should be burned.
Stable flies prefer TO breed in Oat
straw, but may breed in wheat, barley,
or rice straw. In nearly all serious
outbreaks ii has been found that the
straw in which the flies bred was not
stacked properly and that 1t was
soaked by heavy rains which fell sOOn
after thrashing. In many cases the
stacks were wet completely through
and thus spoiled for feeding.
Stable flies also breed in horse ma
nure, especially in strawy manure, so
that hauling the n and spreading
it on the fields helps to reduce their
number and prevent annoyance to
horses and cattle. AS house flies also
breed in manure, hauling the manure
from the stables and yards aids in
keeping down this pest.
