Mexican Bean Beetle
Costly Farm Pest

Again this season, growers of snan
beans, butter or lima beans will be
faced with the problem of controll-
ing the Mexican Bean beetle, said
to be one of the most troublesome
OF North Cardinals insect pests.
This beetle feeds on the under
side OF the bean leaves and usually
the larvae as well as the adult in
sect will be found feeding on a
plant says c.. H. Brannon, extern
sion entomologist at State College.
When the infestation is severe, all
parts of the beam plant above the
ground are fed upon and the plant
may be completely destroyed. In
Jury to cowPeas and soybeans is also
bad but the beetles rarely feed up
on the stems and pods of these
plants"
In controlling the bean beetle,
MIR. Brannon warns growers to
keep in mind that the bean plant is
very tender and can be easily in
Jured by strong poisons. He says
the right poison must be used and
it must be applied in exact amounts.
The poison must also reach the
under-side of the leaves.
Where the beans are grown in
small areas as in a garden, five
level tablespoonful of magnesium
arsenate to three gallons of water
makes a good spray for beetle con-
troll. A mixture for large areas
may be prepared by using one pound
OF the magnesium arsenate to 50
gallons of water applied at the rate
of about 80 to 100 gallons of the
mixture to an acre of beans.
Mr.. Brannon recommends that
treatment begin as SOC as the beet
les appear in the field and if the in
sects are numerous, the treatment
should be repeated every week or 10
days. Often three or four appli-
cations are necessary, but, usually
two careful sprayings are sufficient
for snap beans.

during the depression, but the gov
eminent has lot seen fit to grant
Industry an RFC. The worst eff
feet of permiating Industry to re-
main thus crippled is that it also
cripples employment. With en-
ployment crippled, wages curtailed
and millions unable to buy the ne
cessities of life, all business remains
crippled.
Since Uncle Sam has decided
that this race with depression car
only be won with loan oars pro

does he expect Industry to DE-

Socialists Approve
Lefty Wing Statement

NEW YORK-(FP)-The Socialist
Party right wing, centering in the Jew
ish Daily Forward, has been repudiat-
ed by a referendum OF the party and
the groups led by Norman Thomas are
shown to be in majority.
By a vote Of 1898 to 1872, the party
adopted the statement of principles
drawn up at the recent Detroit conven-
ton which has been a storm center
Of debate ever since. Whether the
statement is Communism pure and
simple" as DR., John Haynes Holmes
calls it, or a new forward step toward
a strong Socialist Party, as the pro-
ponents claim, it is likely to cause a
bitter fight now that it has been ad-
opted.
With financial support furnished by
the Daily Forward, a committee was
set up to preserve the party and
the threat was made that the right
wingers would desert the party if it
passed.
The statement calls for replacing
the bogus democracy Of capitalism by
a genuine workers democracy" and
loyal support Of any party member
who for anti-war activities or refusal
to perform war service comes into
conflict with the law" and "massed
war resistance" 1t declares that "if
the capitalist system should collapse
in a general chaos and confusion, which
cannot permit of orderly procedure,
the Socialist Party will not shrink
from the responsibility of organizing
and maintaining a government under
workers rule"

Go Back On The

observation-disclosures nine weeks
of bitter conflict, Detroit pattern
makers have returned to automobile
job shops awaiting mediation of their
demands. During the strike, despite
bombing of one shop and subsequent
police terrorism against union officials,
the ranks held solid and there was little
strikebreaking.
Return Of patternmakers means real
upswing in Detroit factories since the
strike has postponed patterns for new
models. Previous threats of jobbers
to ship work outside the state were
met by a union counter defiance that
men will pack tool boxes and follow
work"
Strikers demanded $3.50 an hour, a
30-hour week with no Saturday or
Sunday work, double pay for over
time and a closed shop. The demands
are to be mediated through a com
mittee Of three, representing the un-
ion, the jobbers and a third chosen by
the other two.
