Spraying to Prevent I
Injuries by Insects
Watch Various Vegetable
Crops for Numerous Pests.

Tons OF food are lost annually In
the thousands Of home gardens in
every state because of insect Injuries
which could have been prevented If
simple control measures had been
promptly adopted. 1t is Just as i'm
portant-in some cases even more I'M
portant-that the vegetable crops be
as carefully watched for insect pests
as the actual %cultivating Of the crops
and a little watchfulness and prompt
application OF remedies will prevent
to a large measur the losses which
otherwise will occur.
In general. insects are controlled ac-
cording TO the type of mouth parts or
habits of feeding. For chewing In
sects which consume the external
plant tissue. such as beetles, caterpiI-
lars. slugs, grasshoppers, and the like,
an arsenical poison Ia usually efficient.
Arsenate of lead Is the safest and for
small amounts OF spray use nine and
a half level ~teaspoonfuls or three
level tablespoonful of the powder
to a gallon of water, the powder first
being mixed uniformly with a small
amount OF water and then diluted to
the proper strength.
1t may also be used as q dust,
thoroughly mixing one part Of the
poison with ten parts Of q diIutent
such as flour. or hydrated or air

pose. rss~s 60, rsx sser.
Insects which do not the
plant tissue but instead insert the
beak In the plant and suck the juices
cannot be controlled with ~arsenical
or other internal poisons but must be
destroyed with insecticides which kill
In contact with the body. Thus plant
lice. leaf hoppers. scale insects and
the like are controlled with contact

Oilers Tend to Lessen
Spread of MANY Insects

Hog oilers should not be depended
upon to eradicate lice and mango or
TO prevent losses from gross infesta-
ton, but they tend to lessen the
spread Of the mango mites and lice
when kept supplied with oil and b..
working condition and when the hogs
use them. When a hog wants TO rub
IL does so against the handiest object
and does not go to the rubbing post or
oiier unless IT IL the handiest thing
around.

the three children, known as Halle
Mabel, Thelma Lucille, and Roberta
Williams, be adjudged wards of the
court. The petition was granted
and a citation issued by Judge
Franklin j. Cole, ordering Sheriff
Gillett to produce the children in
the superior court Friday, March
16, for hearing. a return on the
citation, received this morning
from Sheriff Gillett, advises that
on March u, two days before the
citation was received by the sheriff,
the children were turned over to
J. L. Adair of the Dallas police for
transmission TO Texas, and are
therefore beyond the authority OF

THREE DIVISION
POINTS in |. v.
70 RNEXT CROP
Howard Discusses Plans
for Moving Cants to
Market

Instead of one point in Imperial
Valley for the diversion of canta-
loupe ears this season, the Pacific
Fruit Express plans to have three,
according to information received
in this city morning from c. E.
Howard, general manager of the P.
+. E.
A letter addressed to Mr.. Howard
in January by several local canta-
loupe growers, expressed dissatis'
faction with the plan used in former
years, of having one point of di-
version only in the valley, situated
at Brawley, and requested that one
or more additional diversion points
be established. Mr.. Howard s let
ter advises that Calex1co, El Centre
and Brawley will be diversion
points for the 1928 season, and that
as in former years, it will be possi-
BILE to order cars at eac hof these
three stations. The same standard
of service will be maintained at
each of the diversion points, accord
ing to Mr.. Howard, and everything
possible will be done to facilitate
the handling Of the enormous crop
expected.
Plans Completed
Plans for supplying Imperial Val
ley with the large number of refrig.
orator cars necessary to move the
cantatoupes were completed some
time ago by the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press and an ample supply will be
on hand at all times, to meet the
demands of the growers and ship
pers, as far as it is humanity possi-
bic to do so.

the removal of the beautiful shade
trees, made necessary iii the pres

tive Of the Press today, and as evil

riety the property owners select.
Contracts for additional paving
arc to be considered soon by the
council, and when these matters
come up it is the intention to call

whether it is desired to have the
streets narrower to protect the pres
ent growth of trees, or whether the
majority favor wide streets with
new trees planted at the expense of

declared that the recent criticism
arose after the council had awarded
contracts that had to be lived up
to, and had rendered itself power

5000, 900 Motors
Made by Ford Co

Detroit, Mich. The Ford Motor
company is now on it's way toward the
100000 motors, it became known to-
day when it was announced that Mo-
tor No. 100000 went off the assembly
line at the Highland Park plant We'd
nesday night, July IL, establishing a
new million production record.
Motor No. 100000 was turned out
January II of this year, so the com
pany produced the last million motors
in six days less than six months.
\ Production at the start of that pc
Rod was around 1890 motors day
and on the increasing schedule in ef-
feet since has been brought up to more
than 1000. The average for the pc
Rod was slightly above Gill day
for the 149 working days or an aver
age of more than 166,670 a month.
Under its greatly increased manu-
featuring capacity the company was
able to manufacture the last million
motors in two months less time than
the previous million. Motor No. 7,000,-
900 was produced eight months after
the 6,000,000th motor passed off the
assembly line which was on May Is,
1922, and nearly year before that
date, May %, 1921, the 5,000,000th mo-
tor was turned out.
1t was in 1915 when Ford Motor No.
100000 was produced and under the
steadily growing demand for Ford cars
and trucks production has been mount
ing yearly and maintaining an annual
output approximating that of all 9TH

GIVE DATA ON
TRAFFIC COUNT
Count of Traffic on State
Highways Reveals As
founding Figures.
ILLINOIS IN THE LEAD
(By Associated Pressl

Madison, Wis. The statewide
foreign car traffic count, taken by the
Wisconsin Highway Commission on
Friday, August 8, if the result is to
be judged from the Madison count, will
give astounding figures as to the out
of-state cars in Wisconsin on that date,
the commission announces.
The Madison traffic count was taken
very carefully by the forces of the
Wisconsin Highway Commission in the
cooperation with all local agencies,
and a preliminary checking up, with
some reports still to come in, gives
the result that there are so far count
ed 1876 foreign cars from thirty-nine
states, in Madison alone.
No Duplication in Totals.
There is no duplication in these
totals, because the license number of
each foreign car was taken and ente--
ed on sheet and while the same
license number in many cases was
caught as many as ten times by vari-
Gus centers, in the check each car
was counted only once, so that this
count is for separate cars and not for
the total cars seen.
AS usual, Illinois leads with 1,034
cars, almost exactly so per cent of all
foreign traffic at Madison. Iowa fol-
lows with 100 cars. Then in order:
Minnesota with 1876; Michigan with
1O7; Indiana with 101; Missouri with
So; Ohio with 81; New York with %;
Kansas with 20; South Dakota with
,15: Nebraska with II. The remain
ing twenty eight states had less than
10 each Cars from the Province of
Ontario and the Territory of Hawaii
were also counted.
Was Statewide Count.
The count was statewide and as
the records come in from the remain
der of the state theyswill be tabulated
as rapidly as possible. 1t is prob
able, however, that the final result
of the count will not be known until
about September 1.
Ideas as to the total which will be
registered in the state vary. If the
Madison count is assumed to be ten
per cent of the total count in the
state, which would appear to be a high
percentage for even such a good tour
list point as Madison, the total for the
state will approximate 10000 foreign
cars. At ten dollars a day per car the
total spending of our tourists would
be 100000 a day at this season.
