M NEWPORT, ARKANSAS
NEW CORN PEST
IN JACKSON
Reported By J. W. Lindley In
Kenyon Section To Agricul
tural Department.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 16.—Accord
ing to the bureau of entomology
of the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture, the Southern Corn
| Leaf Beetle has been discovered
in Arkansas.
“This insect,” writes F. M.
Webster, investigator, ‘^breaks
out spasmodically in various
parts of the country, often total
ly destroying hundreds of acres
of corn but not, to our knowl
edge, occurring two years in
succession in destructive abun
dance in the same locality.
“We have been carrying on in
vestigations of this species for
I a number of years, and are
quite anxious to learn of the oc
currence of a destructive out
break so that we may complete
our invistigations and find out
the best methods of preventing
its ravages.”
The pest has been reported on
the farm of J. W. Lindley, at
Kenyon, Jackson county, and
vveoster advises that L. O.
C. Kelley, investigator at Wel
lington. Kansas, will make a
personal investigation. Mr.
Page took it up with the Depart
ment.
“Our neighborhood is very
much alarmed over what is
known here as wire worms. They
made their appearance here 8
or 10 years ago. but did not do
much harm until two years ago.
I lost about 50 acres of cotton
last year, and about the same
amount of corn. I cannot tell
how much I will lose this year,
as they are more numerous than j
ever before. There must be
something done and done quick
ly. or the agricultural interests j
of my neighborhood will be1
ruined.”

I As Easily Cleaned As|
A Porcelain Bath Tub!
^ One of the things every housewife insists on having in |l
PI her home is a porcelain lined bath tub. She don’t want
the other kind lined with zinc or sheet tin, even if it is 1
pf painted white—won’t have it because it is hard to clean. j|
sra How about the refrigerator—the storehouse of the fam- j|
SB ily eatables—isn’t it a thousand times more important i
that it should have a lining at least as good as the bath |

p Refrigerator jj

M i* h- easily cleaned as aporcelain bath tub or a white |
i china dish, because the provision chamber is snow f
white porcelain, melted on under tremendous heat, onto f
a one-piece round corner seamless steel base. There {
is not a crack nor crevice nor rough place in it to act as {
a breeding place tor germs. It will not chip, crack, peel j
ofT nor turn yellow like the common “enamel” white
paint.
ijU This is one reason why the Leonard Cleanable is J
jap! the one refrigerator you want—there are dozens of oth* J
s| er reasons.
Today is the day to see them on our floors in a variety j
of patterns and sizes.
