—— Web-Worm —
Various sections are reporting the
presence of the web-worm, or "care- j
less" worm, and it is evident that j
damage is now being done, or may
soon' be expected from this insect, to j
cotton, in all parts of Texas.
This worm hatches from eggs laid j
on careless weeds or on alfalfa. O'o- j
servations we have made in the field
lead us to believe that the egg is nev- '
er laid on cotton itself, but that dam- j
age to cotton results only when the !
worm migrates from alfalfa fields, or |
from careless weeds. When because of

not only a most effective insecticide, but
Jt is also the least expensive.
Bee Brand Won't Explode
You can use Bee Brand Insect Powder
anywhere, near an open fire or flame of
any sort, without danger. It
will not explode nor is it easily
inflammable. An insecticide
that is explosive, or highly in-
flammable is a menace — a
fire risk.

What of the Plants?
Dare you apply your present insecticide
to plants? If you wish to remove insects
from plants or flowers, or if you wish to
use Bee Brand in a room where plants
and flowers are, have no fear. It will not
harm them. Bee Brand is non-poisonous.
Dust it or sprinkle it on your pets
and domestic animals. It will not
harm them. Eat it if you wish
—it will not hurt you.
How Much Apparatus
None is necessary. If you prefer to
use the little puffer gun, the cost is only 10c.
Blow Bee Brand Insect Powder from a piece
of paper. It floats in the air and its fine par*

Lice and Bedbugs.
Settle It Cnce and for All
You know what kind of soap
serves you best. Modern san-
itation has made insect powder
as necessary as soap. If you
have never used Bee Brand
you have not yet found the
most effective and least expen-
sivoinaecticide. Order
it by name and insist
on getting it.
