CONTROL OF STRAWBERRY
WEEVIL ALMOST CERTAIN

! Encouraging results attended the
first tests of this State of the dusting
method developed by the New Jersey
Experiment Station for controlling the
strawberry weevil.
This pest does a considerable amount
OF damage in the strawberry growing
sections OF the State, particularly in
the districts around fredericksburg,
Greensboro and Ridgely.
At Mr.. o. +. Anderson's solicitation
! the Department of Entomology Of the
State College planned a series of tests
OF two dust mixtures and one spray
material to be applied on the farms of
]. Spencer Lapham at Greensboro and
Charles Kinden at fredericksburg.
The dusts used were: one, sulfuT
$50 and arsenate of lead 1870; and
two, sulfur $50, lime $50 and arse
nate OF lead 1870 at the rate of Is
pounds per acre. Best results were
obtained from the use of the first dust
containing SO more poison. The
yield on these plots averaged at least
twice that on the untreated checks.
At fredericksburg, $40 quarts per acre
more were picked on the treated plots
than on the check with decided mon
etary advantage as the treatment cost
only $3.50 per acre On certain var
ieties the checks showed from 20 to
90q6 cut buds while in no case did
the cutting on treated plots exceed
1870.
The above facts are given out at this
time in order that the strawberry
grower may know that the State Col
lege is vigorously investigating the
control of this pest and that from the |
results of the first years work it
seems that dusting holds the greater |
promise of any method so far devel-
oped.
ANY grower planning TO use the dust |
treatment should order his materials |
aud machinery at once.
Try to obtain your materials locally, |
or at least within the State. to avoid |
dimcuiJies. requests
for information in regard to dealers
sent to the Extension Service will be
given careful attention.-E. n. Cory,
in Maryland State College Journal.

within short time. Wheat was plepti-
full In a district not far away, but there
were no facilities for transporting It to
the starving sufferers
For this reason the committee has
purchased the 200 trucks from the
American Government, and plans to
buy moro from the British Army,
which, though impeded by the necessl.
ties Of military operations, has greatly
aided the distress in the Near East.
As a consequence Of malnutritlon,
sickness is rife in many communities
throughout the Near East Diseases
which the people could resist If they
were adequately nOurlshed have taken
root throughout all this territory on
account of the wasted bodies Of the
whole population. Representatives Of
the committee report that aside from
starvation the sanitary conditions are
revolving Ond that children go un-

motor trucks, no longer needed since
the signing Of the armistice
Each Of these hospitals contains 1OO
beds and complete equipment except
for kitchen utensils. The buildings in
which these hospitals will be housed
in the Near East have been erected.
With the hospital equipment the COM
mittee will purchase large quantities of
medical supplies which have been
stored in France to safeguard the
health of American soldiers. These
supplies will he rushed 10 the Near
East from a French port.
Careful surveys of the situation In
the Near East Indicate that lack Of
transportation facilities is the chief
cause Of famine. There is food enough
to keep the inhabitants from starving.
but 1t cannot be distributed to supply
62S,OOO square miles of country. There
are only so miles OF railroad. Conse-
quently there is plenty of food In some
sections Of the country where food is
grown. but great distress in those
which are not self-supporting. In the
cities especially there is great need. |
On one occasion wheat became so
scarce In a community in Persia that
the price increased 1900 per cent. |
