YOUNG WORMS CAUSING
DAMAGE TO BEANS

Slight damage has already been
done by the young worms by boring
into the developing beans. There is
still time for the development of
thousands of worms as the genera
tions overlap considerably.
Bean acreages that have just been
picked over can be busted to protect
the newly developing beans, but
acreages that are about to be harvest
ed must not be busted except with
non-poisonous materials.
Bean fields that have not blossomed
or that have jut set pods should be
busted, even though no damage is ap-
parent.
The best material to use for the con-
troll of the corn earworm at the times
indicated above is the old Mexican
Bean Beetle Dust known as 2O-2O-6O
a mixture of 20 lbs. of calcium arsen-
ate, 20 lbs. of monohydrated copper
sulphate and 60 lbs. of lime. It will
take approximately 20 lbs. per acre of
this mixture. 1t should be applied
when the air is calm, or about day
break up to or 8 o'clock.

PROPOSALS FOR
OVERLAPPING
ROAD SYSTEM
Of Military Importance Is Road
Leading From Delaware
Line To POcOmOke
WILL BE A PART OF THE
NATIONAL DEFENSE PROG.

AS a part of the National defense
program the Federal Public Roads
Administration has submitted to
Maryland proposals for an almost
complete overhauling of the States
highway system at cost of between
$5O,O0O,O0O and $75,000,0O0.
Among the proposals listed is a
dual highway along the Maryland
coastal area from the Delaware line,
through Berlin and Pocomoke City to
the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
"a map submitted by the National
Government shows the Maryland
roads involved in their plan in the
order of their military Importance
said Governor O'Conor, who in his
announcement, indicated that the Fed
eral Government is expected to foot
the bill.
Among the routes classed by the
Public Roads Administration as of
"first priority" in military import
ance is the highway leading from the
Delaware line to Berlin and thence
direct to Pocomoke City. Of second
airy importance from military
standpoint is the road leading from
fredericksburg to Salisbury and roads
leading out of Salisbury in the direc-
ton of Berlin and in the direction of
Crisfield.
"In compiling the tremendous a
mount of data necessary to give an
accurate estimate of the cost of the
Maryland program, the entire engi-
neering personnel of the State Roads
Commission, under Wilson T. Ballard,
Chief Engineer, has been engaged al
most exclusively for the past two
weeks in this work."
To finance reconstruction it is ex-
pected that the necessary Federal
aid will be forthcoming from the
Authorization bill now being consider
ed.

VIRGINIA LAD
ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT BY CHUM
Edmond James. Jr., Dies Short
ly After Bullet Penetrates
His Brain
TRAGEDY OCCURS WHILE
ON CAMP TRIP AT BEACH

One of the most tragic happenings
which has occurred on the lower
Eastern Shore in recent years was the
accidental shooting of Edmond (B;ily)
James, Jr,, IS year old son of Edmond
M. James, of Nassawadox, on Tuesday
last, by revolver held in the hands
ri companion.
The tragedy occurred at Silver Beach
where a number of boys were enjoy
ing camping trip. According to
report the boys were playing with a
revolver, unloaded except for one bull
let which refused to fire. The revolv-
er had passed to the hands of Hous-
ton Duer, son of M. J. Duer, well
known produce dealer of Exmore, Va,
and a close pal of Billy's. No one
knows how or why these things hap
pen but in some manner the gun was
suddenly discharged and the bullet
penetrated the head of young James
who died enroute to the hospital.
The news of the tragic happening
spread and sympathy was extended
the members of both families. Both
lads are fine chaps, well thought of,
popular and members of prominent
Virginia families.
Funeral services were conducted
Thursday at II A. NJ, from the James
home at Nassawadox. The services
were largely attended and hosts of
Billy's friends paid their last tribute
to their beloved companion and gal
liant friend.

Why, the Yanks looked upon the
big World War as a sporting prop
