CARPET BEETLES.
(Fron, Miss H. L., Annapolis, Md
Some one wrote in and asked
about brown moth worms. These
are carpet beetles. The adult is a
beetle somewhat like q lady bug
only blackish. They are busily lay
ing eggs now in cracks and under
base boards. Persistent watching
and spraying are imperative in get
ting rid of these awful pests. They
love anything wool. I got these last
year so I know what they are to
fight. The Department of Agricul-
ture has q booklet number $50 on
Carpet Beetles. I secured one from
the United States Government
Printing Office in Washington for
cents. This is an invaluable leaf
let.
