Treat the Turnip Louise
With Soap and Water

Raleigh, N. G., Nov. If one
pound Of laundry soap is dissolv-
ed in four gallons of warm water
and the solution sprayed on the
turnips, all lice touched by it will
be- killed. This is the suggestion
given by Mr.. Franklin Sherman,
Entomologist, who has received
scores of letters complaining a.
bout this small green louise or aph-
Is on turnipS.
In preparing the solution for
treating these lice, the soap
should be cut into fine slices in
about half the quantity Of water,
placed on the fire and brought
to boiling. and then carefully
stirred to dissolve the soap
thoroughly. This mixture is
then removed from the fire and
poured into the other half of the
water, which is cold. resulting in !
4 warm but not scalding solution.
which is fatal to all turnip lice
touched. The application had
best be made with u spray pump.
Generally, the first application
does not reach all of the lice, and
those which are missed reproduce /
very rapidly, making a second
application necessary. However
the remedy is all right, the one
fault being in the absolute ne
cessity for making 4 thorough |
Another good poison is Black
Leaf Forty, manufactured from
the stems and stalks of tobacco
plant, which may be used to spray
the infested plants at the rate of
one teaspoonful of the material
to one gallon of water, or three
quarters of 4 pound to 100 gal
Ions.
This latter poison may be had
from many druggist and seed .

Make Sorghum Sirup to Replace
Sugar

A scheme to utilize a part of
the sorghum crops for making q
sugar substitute for human food
is being carried out in Douglas
County. Nebr. In one community,
through the efforts of the local
county agent, six farmers cooper
ated in purchasing a small sorgh-
um mill, and secured the services
of an experienced sorghum-sirup
maker. Although the sirup made
at this mill is being sold for SLIPS
to $l.5O a gallon, present indica-
tions are that the demand can
not be met. Five sorghum mills
are now in operation in the coun-
ty. Recently a meeting of inter-
ested men in Red Willow County
was called with the help of the
local county agent to organize a
stock company to handle the
sorghum cane grown in that dis.

To Control the Red Spider

Raleigh, N. c. Many farmers
in North Carolina remember how
the red spider treated their cotton
fields this year. In some places
the damage was extremely severe
Extension Entomologist W. A.
Thomas suggests that if the poke
berry bushes near next years
cotton fields are uprooted and de-
stroyed this fall, many fields may
thereby be saved from infesta-
ton next year. He states that,
from his personal knowledge,
this one operation has saved many
cotton fields. This suggestion is
therefore given with the idea that
those farmers who suffered most
from the trouble last year may
find it economical to destroy as
many of these bushes as possible.

the role. Miss Powell as Cynisoa,
