The Mexican beetles have arrived
in full force. They have about sue
ceeded in destroying the string bean
crop and have turned their attention
to the lima beans which they seem
determined to put out of existence.
The different modes of spraying
being used seem useless in destroy
ing the pests. The march of the bee
ties continues to advance.
One woman tried red pepper on
them; said she knew no living crea-
ture or insect could stand such a
dose. The beetles consumed the pep
per, which seemed to whet their ap-
petites and caused them to eat the
bean leaves very much faster.
Unless something more effective
than is now being tried is found, the
bean crop for this year is doomed
and those who are so fond of lima
beans will have to content them
selves With other vegetables.
How would it do for Mr.. Cranston
and his agents to make determined
effort to exterminate the Mexican
beetle as they don't seem to have
much success in staying the onward
movement of the Japanese beetle.

The new stone road from Ellen
dale to Milton is finished as far as
the pouring of cement is concerned.

be of immense advantage to the cltl-

The main public road leading from
EllendaIe to Slaughter Beach is very
much in need of repair. The road is
full of holes and should be looked
after at once. The route is USED by
