ground: at one place he found his hat full. Keeping a close watch for the miscreants he discovered them, They were bugs, but not escaped pa tients from the hospital, but dark brown and a light brown bug a lit tie smaller than a June bug and somewhat similar shape. They were probably lady and gentleman bugs They could become very dangerous to our new grape growing industry, so I stopped in at the old State House and inquired where I could find the horticulturist bug man. The lady looked, acted and spoke as though she was afraid I wanted him for the bug house, so she advised me to go over to the third floor of the South ern Trust and ask for MT. Watson. did so I was received with the same suspicion and similar questions. Tha young man then assured me that MT. Watson had just stepped out, but he thought MT. Full was the man for me to see and lead me into MT. Tull's office. I knew MT TuIl besore he came to Little Rock, so 1 talked of old times and gradually led up to the sub- iect. I had him cornered and was determined he should not escape me. As soon as I mentioned bugs, how ever, he began to get nervous, but would not let him escape. He appear ed from his talk to wonder why should come from the immediate VI i, einity of the bug house to talk with i'm about bugs. He said he was in- terested in the subject however, be- cause he had a rare plant (possibly eabbage?) and something was cut. ting the leaves off of it. He prom ised to investigate, however, and tell the readers of The Pulaskian all that he does not know about this bug.
 Now if MT Engle should be instru- mental in nipping in the bud or bug new plant plague he will certainly not have observed things closely in vain.
 Instead of sticking his pole beans with dead poles MT. Engle plants sun flowers about eighteen inches apart for the bean vine to climb, with the result that while raising plenty of beans for family use, he at the same time raises the finest of poultry food. This is an original idea of his which is being followed extensively and profitably by others.
