This attack on the bean has been

type of staple food that every one
has seemed able to raise. The hardy
plants have withstood conditions that
would be fatal to other vegetables,
and their food value and low price
have been a decided factor in meet

they can be eliminated by picking,
but in gardens of any size this would
be impracticable.
Spraying with magnesium arsenate
is an effective method of combat. Full
information will be given to amy ap-

limited personnel, the department is
unable to scout the farms and gar
dens as thoroughly as necessary and
