Kinston—A scourge of tobacco bugs has come upon this city. Housewives in all parts of town are engaged in a campaign of eradication. They have made little progress so far. The pests find their way into dwellings from warehouses and storage houses scattered throughout the northern half of Kinston. Experts last fall predicted the trouble with the tobacco bugs and recently have warned farmers to take steps to destroy them. They may become destructive to stored weed. Thousands of the insects made homeless by shipment abroad of warehouse stocks, have imposed themselves upon householders.
