molested and has escaped the judg-
ments of law. But now the people
are growing weary. restless. and re-
vengeful.
The time has come for the gov
ernment to arrest every man who
takes advantage of an emergency
to practise extortion.
This is certainly true of the hour
in which we are now living.
The government talked about
seizing the coal mines. The gov
ernment ought to seize not only the
mines, but everything else that the
prohteer is trying to use for the
purpose of extorting from the peo-
pie an unjust and unreasonable
profit.
The prohteer should not be al
lowed to do business.
Let the government say to all
prohteers: Every time you raise
the price unjustly. the government
will take from you the right and
the license to do business"
This is the only way by which
the suffering public can be quicted
and put at ease. This is the way by
which the government can restore
confidence in its sovereignty, in its
power, and in its justice.

CONTROL INSECTS
Much Damage to Fall Beans Can be
Prevented

Truckers may nave to combat the
trouble known as hopperburn on their
bunch and snap beans this fall and
winter, according to specialists of the
Florida Experiment Station, who rec
ommend spray of bordeaux mixture
and Black leaf 40 for this purpose
A. H. Boyer, assistant entomolo-
gist, says that the insects which cause
this trouble have been quite numer-
Gus on the velvet bean crop now ma
turing. This, he says, indicates that
they will be present in troublesome
numbers this fall and winter on beans
grown as truck. Continuing, Prof.
Boyer says:
THE yield of the fall bean crop
usually suffers seriously from hop
perburn. This trouble is caused by
I the bean leaf-hopper, small green
ish insect about an eighth of an inch
! in length, which hies very rapidly and
appears in abundant numbers during
summer and fall months.
The first evidence Of injury usual
~ occurs on the tip or apex of the
leaf as triangular burned area, and
this soon runs back along the margin
of the leaf and moves inward toward
the mid-rib. The margin and tip of
the leaf turns brown and Curls up
ward.
THE injury appears first on the
lower leaves, but later spreads to the
entire plant, feeding only on the low
or side of the leaves. The adults
when disturbed in seriously infested
| fields, rise and fly in swarms.
ITO control, spray with bordeaux
mixture, ALSO formula. adding Y
| pfnt of Black leaf 40 to about 81
gallons of the bordeaux solution. In
spraying it is important that the op'
| crations start as soon as the first
leaves have formed. 1t is also es-
sential that the spray be applied both
| from above and below so that it may
completely cover both sides Of the
| leaves.
"The trouble and it's control is
more fully discussed in Experiment
Station Bulletin 164 which may be
had for the asking"

Coal is a necessity. And any
man who takes advantage of the
poor mans necessity or Of the rich
mans necessity to extract from him
an excessive price for that ncces-
sity is at heart a thief Whatever
law there is that can reach him
should be put into operation.
There is a just profit that belongs
to every man for his labor, his tai

PROFTTEERING

We are told that we are facing &
coal shortage.
But the shortage of coal is not a
reason for the increase of the price
of coal. To increase the price oi
coal would mako il possible for
the rich to have coal. but it would
make it impossible for the poor to
purchase it.
This country needs SO many tons
of coal. The rich and the poor
alike need the coal. The shortage
of coal should not cause the price
to be increased. An increased
price will prevent a just distribu-
ton of coal.
The only legal and just thing that
can possibly be done is to distrib-
ute the amount of coal we have
among all the people at the same
rate that they would have been
charged for the coal had there been
a sufficient quantity.
The prohteer who takes advan-
tage of the situation and raises the
price of coal is an enemy of the
people.
