Says the Senate Is Yankee-Like

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Hira m
Bingham, the lanky senator from Con-

around among lot OF the little known
corners of the earth.
His experiences in strange places
has taught him that things are not
always what they seem; that only by
getting under the surface of things
can the real reason for a given situa-
ton be determined.
After two months of exploring sen
atorial catacombs and consciences
Bingham has concluded that the SEN

ham says, are reminiscent of the meet

Robertson, "and am doing fine. A lit

crash through glass canopy. He

BEAN BEETLE is
TRUCK CROP ENEMY
COUNTY AGENT GIBSON FUR
NISHES INFORMATION HOW
TO CONTROL PEST.

The following article on Better
Truck Crops" written by George H.
Firor and giving valuable informa-
ton on the control OF the Mexican
bean beetle, has been handed to The
News for publication by County
Agent A. Z. Gibson;
The Mexican bean beetle has made
its appearance in bean fields and gar
dens. Why let this pest destroy the
bean crop when it can be controlled
economically by busting? Expert
ments have proven conclusively that
if the following methods are carried
out the small garden patches and
larger areas can be saved.
/. When the beetles appear apply
Immediately dust mixture of sodium
fluosiiicate plus nine parts, by volume,
of hydrated lime, at the rate OF Is to
LIS pounds per acre. If sodium huosili-
cate can not be obtained dust con-
sisting of one part OF calcium arsenate
one part of fine busting sulphur and
four parts of hydrated lime may be
used. The adults frequently feed on
the upper side of the leaves and are
more easily controlled than the larvae,
which feed entirely on the under side
of the leaves.
2. The second application should
be made a week later If no rains have
occurred and the beetles are not num-
erous the second application may be
delayed from a week to ten days OF
longer. Usually three or four appEca-
tons from a week to ten days apart
will be necessary. For pole beans and
other late varieties five or. six appli-
cations may be required.
8. For small patches and the gar
den a hand-bellows buster is satisfac-
tory For larger fields the rotary fan
buster gives good results. In applying
the dust mixture the nozzles should
be so directed that the material will
be applied to the under side OF the
leaves.

BETTER FACILITIES, LESS
CRITICISM

U. s. District Attorney Buckner
of New York has announced that he
is giving attention to the big Of
tenders against the prohibitory law.
This attitude is criticized by Wayne
B. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon
League on the ground that it en-
courages the small bootlegging fry.
Mr.. Buckner retorts:
please come over to New York
and tell me correctly just what
judges are to try the petty violators.
just where the courtrooms are to be
located, and just where I am to get
assistants to prosecute them with
out, at the same time, abandoning
my drive on the rich restaurants
who openly violate the law and my
drive on the wealthy bootleggers who
have grown rich from lawbreaking."
We presume Mr.. Wheeler is not
hampered by funds for the work in
which he is engaged, but it is very
evident that enforcement is. under
certain conditions. Mr.. Wheeler
would help the cause of prohibition
more, 1t would seem, by seeing to 1t
that every needed facility for en-
forcement is provided than he would
in criticisms Of this nature.
