I I THE BLYTHEVILLE DOMINANT OP NORTERA ST COURIER NEWS ARKANSAS AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI VOL. XLIV-NO. 125 Blytheville Dally New Blytheville Herald Mississippi VALLEY BLYTHEVILLE, ARKANSAS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1947 Bean Leaf Beetle Damage Checked In Missco Area University Expert On Entomology Here To Inspect Fields Dr. Charles Lincoln, exLension entomologist of the University of Arkansas' College of Agriculture, arrived in Blytheville today to inspect the damage done to North Mississippi County's soybean crop by the recent epidemic of bean leaf beetles and the efficiency of the spraying program, it was announced today. by County Agent Keith Bilbrey.

Dr. Lincoln, Mr. Bilbrey and several North Mississippi County agriculture leaders toured several of the farms infested with beetles, and those that have been under the program launched the Planters Flying Service, Mr. Bilbrey stated. Dr.

Lincoln will visit farms in South Mississippi County tomorrow and in Crittenden County Thursday, the county agent said. Meanwhile, the beetle invasion continues to plague the county's crop which is estimated at 150,000 acres. "I have received. several inquiries as to the present spraying program has had on the beetle," Mr. Bilbrey stated, "but thus far I have been unable to furnish a definite answer.

One of the objects of Dr. Lincoln's tour is to establish an answere to these questions," he said. The invasion of the insects was reported over a widespread area in North Mississippi County last week and in parts of South Mississippi County. This invasion is the second such infestion reported in this county this year. 'The first cycle appeared last month but damage was 'negligible.

Heavy Soils Hardest Ilit "I do not believe that this epidemie, is as bad as the one that hit last year's crop," Mr. Bilbrey said. Most of the damage of the present invasion appears to be in the heavier soils, he said, with no beetles yet reported from the sandy soils of Western Mississippi County in the Leachville area. The rich, heavy gumbo lands of the area appear to be the worst hit, he added. Farmers of this vicinity began this week to spray their crops with DDT and in' an effort to halt the beetle epidemic.

Officials of the Planters Flying Service have announced that they were spreading more than 1500 pounds of the two types of poison' over Mississippt County crops daily, Mr. Bilbrey said. He pointed out that the multicolored beetle damages soybeans in two WAYS. The spotted bug-type insect feeds on the underside of the leaves and the stems of the plant, cating small round holes, while the -type beetles clicw the roots and stems just below the surface of the soil.

and nine Army men to death In the Pacific ran out of gasoline. Capt. Thomas L. Rider, navigator and one of the three survivors, stated that the gasoline load aboard the Fortress when it left Kwajalein was big chough that the plane should have reached Hawaii with an hour's supply to spare.

"Our flight plan called for a 12 1-2 hour Night. I don't know what happened to the gas." He said the replacement engine installed at Guam may have used more gasoline than the others but discounted the possibility that.

it could have used enough to exhaust the reserve supply. Rider said Capt. K. Still, the pilot who is missing, was fencing gasoline into each of the four gines from a separate tank. "Re didn't have the fuel system on crossfeed, which accounts for the engines cutting out separately." Two of the engines had before the crash landing.

"He cut out the two engines to save gas," Rider said. "On the Fortress that would only have increased 'the consumption necessary to keep -in the air."
