Bob has had several close calls while serving in Uncle Remedy Is Given for Rose Bugs Sugar Beet Growers Wage Brisk Fight to Maintain War Production How to Display Ceiling 3 What to do about the rose bugs is a problem that is worrying all persons who have gardens that are being eaten by these insects. Mr. and Mrs. F.

W. Schumacher of 303 Fifth street have a remedy that they claim works. Two years ago they sent some roses from their garden to their son-in-law and daughter in Grand Rapids. Hidden in the heart of one of these roses were two rose bugs, which the son- in-law of the Schumachers bottled and sent to the agricultural experiment station at Michigan State college-, asking for their exter- mination. The result was the following formula: Use three to four pounds lead arsenatc to 100 square feet of soil, dust it on the ground, sprinkle with water so it will soak into the soil, especially on grass plots where the water will soak down five to six inches and reach the young grubs which feed on grass roots until in September.

When the Schumachers received the formula, they immediately tried it, with the result that their garden is comparatively free from rose bugs. According to the college bulletin, there is one annual tion of the rose bug, scientifica- ly called the rose chafer with the entomological name of macrodactylus subspinosus. The winter is passed as a white grub in the soil. The adult beetles appear in late May or early June and are on the wing for about three weeks. The female works her way into the ground for two, three to six inches and lays a batch of eggs in a cluster.

Each egg is placed singly in a cell. The eggs hatch in from two to three weeks and the young, grubs feed on the roots of grass and other forms of vegetation, developing rapidly and reaching maturity about September, when they desert the grass roots and' descend into the ground to construct cells in the 'soil similar to those of the June beetles. Pupation does not take Jplace until spring. The pupal istage lasts about three weeks. 'Thi? entire C9lony of beetles 'reaches maturity practically at ithe same time, hordes of 'beetles jsuddenly making their appearance.

this species frequently breeds some distance from fhe, place where causes er one sent to the bottom. With a fleet of four ships in the Gulf, Bob saw what happened when they were attacked by a U-boat. One of the vessels, about 200 yards to the port side of his ship, was hit amidships by one of the torpedoes. While the men were getting into the lifeboats, the second 'torpedo struck, killing 22 men. Bob said he could see flying debris from the striidken ship and survivors trying to stay on the surface of the water.

Although he thought he saw the attacker, it was not clearly discernable and so could not be fired upon. Shortly after this incident an airplane came over and EAST 5 )--Michigan farmers, especially bean and sugar beet growers, are waging a brisk battle against the weather to, keep production up to war demands, Howard C. Rather, head of the Michigan State college crops department, said today. Rather said approximately 140,000 acres of sugar beets have been contracted by sugar companies this year, an increase of 40 percent over last year, but that more than 10 percent of the planting has been washed out by recent torrential rains. Barring further heavy rains, he said, the harvested acreage should be between 25 and 35 percent above last year's total of 94.000 acres.

Soybean planting Ihceness has been delayed by rains, Rather said, but only a slight deduction is expected in the scheduled planting of 225,000 acres, an increase of 55 percent over last year. Corn planting generally is behind schedule, while farmers gathering their first cutting of hay have encountered "a lot of trouble" as result of recent rains which left some cuttings a total loss, Rather said. Early month precipitation in some parts of the state, he said, totaled more than three inches, topping the normal June total. Rather criticized "inclination" by many farmers to favor early- maturing varieties of field beans because muoii of the crop will be planted after mid-June as suit of weather delays. He pointed out such types will save only four or five days in harvesting and will yield between 20 and 25 percent less than the Michelite variety introduced by Michigan State college three years ago.
