Under the direction of Prof. T. l..
Entwisle, principal and agricultural
teacher in Milton High School, the
first Of series of Farmers Winter
Meetings was held on Friday evening
in the high school building. The topic
discussed was pea Aphie Louse)
and How to Control Them" e. N. Cory
State EntOmologist of Maryland, led
the discussion with an explanation of
practical experiment recently car
ried on by the State of Maryland in
the vicinity of Cambridge, Md, and
spread over several farms. He suppli-
mented his remarks with lantern
slides showing just how the work was
done. Some of the suggestions he made
to local pea growers were as follows:
First-That Fall was the time to plOW
the ground for peas and not in the |
Spring; secondhand busting was |
practicable if applied properly. A two
per cent dust with free nicotire would
give very good control if about forty
pounds was used to the acre. Third
That the pea louise generally breeds
on clover, alfalfa, vetch, etc., and
passes to the peas later.
This subject was doubly interesting
% local pea growers as last year hun
lreds of dollars was lost to growers
~ the ravages of the pea louise in the
Milton section.
On Friday, February 23rd, at seven
Iclock, in the school hall, the next
Meeting will be held, at which time
he subject of How to Increase To-
lato Yield Per Acre." will be discus
ed by A. D. Radebaugh, County Agent

excellent results last year by means
ia central plant bed and very early
anting.
