MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE
BEST CONTROLLED BY SPRAY
Use Arsenate of Zinc or Arsenate of
Lead, But Do Not Use Pari.
Green,

The best known methods of con-
trolling the Mexican bean beetle may
be summarized as follows:
l.. Where the beetle has made its
appearance, do not attempt to grow
a late crop of garden beans. If some
are desired for market or home cann-
ing, depend on very EARLY crop
only, using bush or bunch varities Of
both snap and lima beans.
,. The Colorado Experiment Sta
ton recommends spraying beans with
arSenate of zinc, one pound to so gal
Ions of water. If the arsenate of zinc
can not be obtained, use arsenatc of
lead, one pound of the powder to 40
gollonS Of water. Apply the spray to
the under side of the leaves as soon
as the adult beetles are noticed, and
before the serious in Jury has resulted
to the leaves.
1t has been found that burning of
the leaves by the spray material oc-
ours more frequently on leaves that
have been injured by insects.
In case of a heavy infestation a sec
ond spraying will be necessary in a
week or ten days. DO NOT USE
PARIS GREEN FOR 1T WILL BURN
THE LEAVES SERIOUSLY.
Sprayed beans are not injurious un-
ess they have been sprayed a few
lays before picking; washing before
lse prevents any possible danger.
4. Plow under all bean crops as
.arly in the fall as possible, in order
@ bury the adults. Dertroy all of
arly crops as soon as beans have
'een removed, and replant to some
rop other than beans of cowpeas.

WHAT OUR COUNTY PAYS;
WHAT WE WILL RECEIVE
Receive More Than $1,000 More Than
All We Pay Into State
Treasury.

The following letter was received
from J.. B. Brown, State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction which shows
that this county receives more from
the state for schools alone, by over
ISL 900, than the entire taxes of this
county paid into the state treasury.
Superintendent Brown says:
Every child has the rigth to the
benefits OF an education, whether that
child lives in the wealthy, populous
center or i'll the remote, Sparsely set
tiled, financially poor community.
This state must follow the home
with the school. Not only is this es-
sential to the larger life of the in
dividual and the prosperity of the
home, it is vital to the welfare of the
commonwealth. The state must ed
ucate its children, else the state will
perish.
Science and invention have pro-
duced marked changes in our econom-
ic situation. The towns and cities of
the state have been become the cent
erS of commerce, trade and industry.
Hence, the wealth of the state has in
a large measure been withdrawn from
the country and centered in the more
populouS areas. This uneven distribu-
ton of taxable wealth has imposed up
on the state revision of it Smethods
of financing the public school system.
OF necessity the state must give more
financial aid to the financially poor
colunties. To fail to lend this aid
would be to deny schools to these
children and would result in the de-
population of the rural counties, the
destruction of their wealth and the
lmpoverishment of the state.
According to the official records
Of 1921, Shelby county had her per
capita wealth of $4oS3 back of each
child between the ages of six and
twenty-one; Van Buren, the median
county, had $I672; Pickett county had
s682.
SHELBY county would be required
% levy Ioc on the $Ioo assessed valu-
alton of property to produce $500 per
;hild of school age while Pickett coun
y would be required to levy 75c on
he $Ioo assessed valuation of prop
,rty to produce $500 per child of
school age. Levying the same tax
n each of these counties for school
purposes Shelby would be able to run

Dr. William II. Park, in charge of
the bureau of laboratories in the

to Health Commissioner Royal S. Cope
land yesterday on the improvements in

diphtheria out of 14,l66 cases, while in
1927 there were only SO7 deaths out
Of 1862 cases reported.

further to reduce the number Of suf-
ferers. The course prescribed is: first.
the use of the Schick test to ascertain
the susceptibility of the individual to
diphtheria, and second, elimination of
that danger by the use of protective
toxin treatment The cost of the toxin
is but 25 cents. The report figures
that every child of the 100000 attend
ing public schools in the city could
be so protected at cost Of only
$25OO00
In 1921. the report found, the Red

vention. As result, DR.. Park said.
