Mrs. Young, the MEXICAN BEAN BUG KEEPS UP RAVAGES Unvading Beetle Army “Holds Its Own” During Summer, Despite Efforts to Dislodge It. of our- Despite determined efforts of the United States Bureau of Entomology +'hemical Warfare Corps to dislodge it. the Mexican bean beetle army has held its own during the past Summer and has even begun the conquest of wnother northern State. Although it has been in the South for five years #nd has thoroughly established itself in the heart of Dixie, the beetle made no serious invasion of the North until 1924, when it annexed the State of ©Ohlo, reaching the shores of Lak Tirie at a number of points. This yvear ¢+ has widened its sallent and estab. lished a line across the southeastern | part of Indiana. Elsewhere the depredations of the beetle were not extended greatly be- rond last year's holdings. Som t- ivard extension in the mountainous re- #ions from Pennsylvanfa southward 1o North Carolina has taken place, hut little new territorv has been seized elsewhere. These small eastward qrives, however, ar ising officials ©f the Bureau of Entomology some concern, for if the insect army passes the natural barrier of the Appalachian chain it may overrun the Piedmont «nd coastal plain regions. The Mexican bean beetle, according to J. E. Graf, in charge of the bu- reau's work on truck crop pest in- vestigations, is a sneak as well as an enemy, for he appears in the uniform of a large lady-beetle, which we have ulways been taught to regard as a friend. But there are several lady- teetles in Mexico, Mr. Graf states, that prey on man’s crops instead of on the enemies of his crops. This is the first time that it has invaded the eastern part of the United States, ap- vearing, no one knows whence or Y.ow, in northern Alabama in 1920 and rxtending rapidly north and eastward each year. Though the adult beetle dees con- siderable damage, the real harm is done by the squashy grubs or larvae, which feed vofaciously on the leaves ©f all kinds of crop and truck plants, ¢keletonizing the leaves: and causing them to turn yellow. Thus far the only effective means of combat have Yeen spraying and dusting with ars nical chemicals. The Bureau of E: Yomology has twice imported natural arasitic _enemies of the pest from fexico, but the parasites have failed to survive, while the beetle, appar- ently more easily adaptable to north- ern climatic conditions, has remained #nd thrived. What appeared to be a bacterial disease broke out among the beetles in Alabama a couple of aears ago, but unfortunately the epi- demic died out again. Government #cientists are coptinuing their re- tearches on diseases and natural ene- ynies of the beetle, hoping that eventu- wily a means of control less expensive #nd iaborious than polson spraying end dusting may be found.

By Associated Press. \ MITHFIELD, Orange Free State, || | November 14—A decision to totaily | deprive natives of the Cape Province of their existing parliamentary fran- | chise is announced here. Premier | Herzog declares it is impossible to | extend a similar franchise to the other provinces of the South African Union, for this would mean the ruin of Euro- pean civilization | Experts, the premier added, figure | that the native voters in the Cape Province within 50 vears would out- number the white voters and the change was necessary. The govern- ment proposed to withdraw the native franchise in the Cape Province and instead give the right to natives throughout the union to elect seven uropeans to represent them in the - assembly, in addition to the quota of representatives provided for by the constitution. Among other proposals dealing with the native problem are to give them the udditional land already promised and to train them for self-administra- tion 01d Apple Waste Recalled. Thirty years ago in a small Middle West town large and fine tomatoes re- tailed at 15 cents a peck. Now they sell at 12 cents a pound, says the Chicago Journal of Commerce. Drop- ped apples in the orchards were fed | to the hogs or rotted on the ground. Now they are packed in baskets, shipped by express or carted to town to bring more than the finest peaches yielded in 1890. Fat hens that sold for 25 cents now bring $1.50. Farm- ers who got 50 cents a bushel for peachblow potatoes did well. Now it costs them 80 cents a bushel to raise them. All the common domestic fruits— cherries, plums, pears, grapes, cur- rants and such vegetables as cab- bage, cucumbers, peas, onions and | ! beets are sold high. Cherries and ||| | tomatoes particularly, the home | basis for food aclds during the Win- ter, formerly “put up” for the mere cost of canning, are now obtained only at sSUff prices, while eggs at 10 cents a dozen and extra good but- ter at 15 cents a pound during the Midsummer have passed away, never to return. Barbers in London's East Side have cut the price of women’s hair cuts to the same as those for men.
