The bean crop of the Southwest suffers severe injury from the bean ladybird, which sometimes ruins entire crops. It is restricted to beans for food and attacks all kinds. Both beetles and their larvæ devour all parts of the plant -- leaves, flowers and pods -- but the chief injury is to the foliage. The pest can be controlled in small areas by hand-picking the overwintered beetles and by brushing the larvæ or young from the plants during hot, dry weather. On a larger scale it may be controlled by spraying with arsenite of zinc, arsenate of lead, or arsenate of lime. Clean cultivation should be practiced and early and late planting."--[2]

"The economical production of beef cattle in most sections of the United States depends largely upon the investment in the durable, convenient, and practical buildings, as well as upon the care, feeding, and management of the herd. Barns suitable for the successful growing and fattening of beef cattle need not be elaborate nor overexpensive. Any unnecessary outlay of money invested in them adds to the overhead expense. Appearance, however, should not be neglected, since well-proportioned and well-designed barns may be constructed at very little, if any additional expense. Such barns add materially to the sale value of a farm property."--Page ii.

"This bulletin is designed to point out and describe briefly the land in the United States available for settlement, and to tell the prospective settler something about the conditions he may expect to meet, the types of farming prevailing in the different districts, and the agencies to which he may apply for information. It is not the intention to undertake to guide or to direct the choice of a particular farm, but to supply the settler with initial information concerning the region in which he would like to establish a farm home."--Page ii.

"Success in the propagation of game birds has been enjoyed in the United States by individuals, by sportsmen's organizations, and by state game departments. There have been failures, of course, but methods that assure success are known. These are treated concisely in this bulletin and are elaborated upon in other publications ... Raising game birds may be made profitable, since the demand exceeds the supply of adult birds for breeding, of both young and adults for restocking, and of eggs for distribution to farmers and shooting clubs."--Ii.
