New Pest Report From Benton Harbor District
A new pest, likely a long slender fly with yellow stripes, has caused damage to buds in the Benton Harbor area. Discovered by S. Bevy east of Benton Harbor, the insect was sent to the Longing experimental station. The St Joseph Beach district remains free as the pest spreads in the Benton Harbor district. Meanwhile, miners at the Kearsarge copper mine in Houghton struck for wage gains, then returned to work with Captain W S Parnall to consider demands. The mine employs about 300 men and may grant part or all of an estimated eight percent wage increase and a six hour weekly reduction on day shifts.
