PLANT BUG RUINS BUTTER
BEANS.
Important Post Plays Havoc in Mis-
sissippi Gardens.

A. & M. College, Miss, Sept. s.
Hundreds of complaints are being re-
ceived in the State Plant Board Office
about "bug" that has almost COM
pletely ruined bitter beans and other
beans and peas in all parts of Missis-
sippi this summer. Examination of
specimens shows that in practically
all cases this damage has been done
by the Southern Green Plant Bug,
which like many other destructive
pests, was brought into the United
States many years ago.
This pest is light green shield
shaped bug, about IL inch long and
1-3 inch wide, with the well-known
Stink bug" odor. 1t feeds on nearly
all cultivated plants, sucking the
juices from them, and is especially
injurious to beans, peas, tomatoes,
okra, turnips mustard, cabbage and
other garden crops.
Control Measures.
Being a sucking insect, it can not
be poisoned, and any contact spray
strong enough to kill it would also
destroy plants. Hence spraying is
not advised except when the bugs are
on crops of no value, when kerosene
will easily kill them. Hand picking

is the most satisfactory method of
controlling this pest and should be
started as soon as they appear in the
spring, as it is easier to kill ths
grandparents then than to fight a
thousand grandchildren later. On
cool days or early in the morning the
bugs are sluggish and may be easily
shaken off the plants into large pan
containing a half-inch of water COW
cred with a film of kerosene. All
winter hiding places in or near the
garden should be destroyed, and such
winter crops as collards, kale, rape,
turnips, and mustard should be ex-
iamined often to prevent any bugs
from wintering over.

THE OXFORD EAGLES POLICY.

The Eagle has always taken decided stand
politically, as every one knows ever since it has
been under the present management. It's stand,
politically, in our mind, has been the greatest
handicap the paper has had to contend with.
The recent election is conclusive proof that
the Democratic party in Mississippi is split; it
is divided into two factions, and it will ultimately
mean the springing up of two political parties,
unless the people get together, make friends and
fight to perpetuate the cause Of Democracy. In
doing this the people will have to make some
sacrifices, we will have to concede that possibly
we have been placing the wrong construction on
that which is for the best interest to the people
of Mississippi This will, no doubt, go against the
grain with many, but it will be infinitely better
for the people to unite on the Democratic plat
form than have the Republican party come into
the State.
This paper, therefore hereafter and in all
future, so long as it remains under the present
management, will not take any stand for either
faction of the Democratic party, but will strive
to unite the people-a all the people. 1t will stand
for Democracy people rule fractional
stands will be thing of the past with US in all
future.
We fully realize that Oxford needs an up-to-
date weekly newspaper, one which will OBSTINATE
the news, separated from all political poison, and
to this end the Eagle will strive and work
We are through with fractional politics in
Mississippi Our efforts will be directed to the
supbuilding of the city of Oxford and the county
of Lafayette.
We ask the CO operation Of all who are with
us on this proposition.
Let's build up Oxford, unite the people,
build up our churches and schools and make Ok
ford hnttnr Mace in which to live
Sherman said "War is He'll" and we believe
that the lamented gentleman knew whereof he
was speaking. He did not designate the charac-
ter of war" But war is warm the political
arena or on the battlefield We therefore wish
Ito remind our friends who have been SO loyal to
JUS during these many years that in taking the
island outlined above we do SO believing that it
Dis best for the people of Oxford and the people
of Lafayette county, and we ask continuance
of that same loyalty which you have SO generous
ly accorded us in the past. It will take the undi

Kpeople the newspaper they deserve the best
