[icidal control of the Mexican bean beetle will be necessary for ull crops of beans in the Piedmont section of South Carolina and in most of the Coastal Plains section, advises \Y. C. Nettles, extension entomologist. Certain bean growing communities along the coast have never been molestel; and therefore do not have the trouble [and expense of combatting this pest. | Destruction of adults and develop* [ I mental stages of the beetle on behtisj front which the crop has been hav-j vested will accomplish much in vi\e: protection of the summer and fall crops, turning the bean vines ufter harvest and completely covering them being an effective aid in control, theI specialist states. "Magnesium arsenate has gi/en the most consistently satisfactory results of all the materials tested against the Mexican bean beetle," Mr. Nettles explains. "The gardener has the choice of dusting or spraying with magnesium arsenate. However, spraying is generally regarded as being more effective and economical than di&ting. Nevertheless, the initial cost for a sprayer is generally greater than for a duster, j "Two ounces of magnesium arsen'ate to three gallons of water are now recommended for bean beetle control. ! Six to ten level tablespoonfuls arej J equivalent to two ounces of mag-l | nesium arsenate, but since the density [varies so greatly, it is advisable to {determine by weighing the number of j l^vel tablespoonfuls for each lot. "For dusting, magnesium arsenate mayv be diluted at the rate of one' I pa;-t to three parts of high grade Ihydrated lime. Much of the magj neaum arsenate now purchased has ) already been diluted, and diluting to a greater extent may result in unsatisfactory control. For spraying, airways insist on the undiluted dust, j "In spraying or dusting it is al>i solutely necessary to have equipment 1 which will place the insecticide on ! the under side of the leaf, as both adults and larvae of the Mexican bean beetle feed on the lower sui'k face. Certain dusters have upturned, flared vents which direct the dust up against the leaf. Many compressed air sprayers ha\e an angic nozzle which also di: eels the spray up against the leaf. It is well to bear in mind tnai du*i.ng >hou.a be one only when tin- p.antJr are eoveri .j .\.:n dew so thai the cius; will >tick. Three or more applications of the insecticide will be r.ecded to cr+eek the activities of the bean b-. ning as soon a - becUe> ' a} . car a 1 repeating eveij 7 .u 10 \ or mote often if necessary." ?

Small Fortune From City's Garbage Cans Sumier, July 0.?Everyone's home may be his castle, but "l^ady" Monro's castle is Mifferent. She built it of odds aiul ends she collected over a period of years from the garbage cans on the streets of Sumter. "Lady" Moore, as she is known, is an eccentric Negro woman, and a familiar figure here, People here who have known her for many years say that she bought and paid for "Moore's lane," a street of *Negr<f dwellings, solely by collecting discarded objects from garbage cans and selling them to junk dealers and others. <*-j Her "castle," as i? is known locally, presents an odd appearance. A twostoried structure, spreading over a considerable area, its walls are built of scraps of wood and rusty tin, haphazardly put together. The building stands out among the simple, one-story frame dwellings by reason oj its bizarre and unorthodox architecture. "Lady" Moore, after years of fishing around, in garbage cans, employs a lawyer now to collect rentals from ' her Negro tenants. Most of the Negro dwellings she owns were bought when they were put up for sale for taxes. But although the Negro woman is considered wealthy now, she still may be seen, garbed in flamboyant colors, [walking the streets and poking into garbage cans for whatever she may find of value. She is of indefinite age, and no one here knows anything of her early life. But she has been walking the streets and filling her crdeker-sack with i "junk" the "Nvhite folks" discarded, for years, and apparently only the 1 infirmities of old age will bring an end to her strange pursuit of a fortune. , Camden Youth In Marine Corps ' Joseph W.
