FARM ADVISOR
ADVISES HOW TO
CONTROL, PESTS
Many Lettuce Pests Lie
in Wait to Do Injury
to Crops

While the lettuce crop of Imperial
Valley is practically free of insect
pests of various kinds, there are
nevertheless two or three insects
which do a large amount of dam
age unless properly controlled. The
insects which are responsible for
the major portion Of the damage
are grasshoppers, cutworms, the
eaterpillars of the yellow alfalfa
butterfly and the alfalfa semi
looper. Grasshoppcf7 a;;d eutworms
are common every year, but the
alfalfa caterpillar aud the alfalfa
semi-looper, which did so much
damage last year, have only been
serious twice in the past eight years.
Grasshoppers, year in and year out,
SAYS E. l.. Garthwaita, farm advisor,
cause by far the most loss. The
greater portion of the damage Is
done in the early fall, and is often
so severe that replanting is neces-
sary. Replanting usually means not
only a heavy expense for more seed
and labor, but sauscs delay which
sometimes spells the difference be-
tween profit and loss.
The female grasshoppcr lays her
eggs in the ground i'll uncultivated
fields, along fence rows, ditch
banks, etc. Farmers can, therefore,
save much of the losses by cultivat-
ing alfalfa in idle lands, ditch
banks, fence lines, etc. This des-
trovs the eggs or young and is cf-
ten sufficient to prevent ian at
tack. Grasshoppers do. not like to
oct their feed wet and muddy,
hence many growers give their
ground heavy irrigation when
grasshoppers or cutworms appear,
thereby sometimes eliminating fur
ther trouble. In all events it is
well not to thin lettuce until care
full examination of the plants and
soil has been made to determine
whether or not any pests are pre-
sent. This examination should be
very careful and thorough. since
young eutworms and cateFpillars are
very small soon after. Matching, be
ing only as thick as a hair and
less than quarter of an inch
ong. When any number of pests
ire present it is very dangerous to
thin the lettuce until these lave
been controlled.

Poison Bait Method

!
When properly prepared and
used the poison bran mash has Civ
en- uniformly successful results not
only in Imperial Valley but all over
the country. The old standard for
mula of bran % lbs. paris green l
h., six lemons chopped fine, out.
cheap molasses and 3 gal. of wat
er, has given satisfaction for the
past ten years.
Recently entomologists in other
states have found other substances
which give far better results than
the above formula. The new formu-
la advised for grasshoppers and
cutworms in Imperial Valley is as
follows:
sawdust, 1919 lbs, wheat bran,
1919 lbs. sodium arsenite, u h.,
salt, l h., cheap molasses, , qts,
anvil acetate banana oil, Techni-
| cal No. y q ounce, water, gal
| Ions.
| Sawdust mixed with bran SON
! siderablv cheapens the mixture and
is just as effective. Sodium arse
mite is a much more effective and
quicker acting poison than paris
| green, and the cost of the amount
} advocated is less than the cost of
pound of paris green. The addi-
tion of salt makes the bait attrac-
tive to the insects. The molasses
helps TO keep the bait from driving
, out, which is very important, as
grasshoppers will not touch the
| bait when il loses its moisture. The
anvil acetate is not only cheaper
| aud far less trouble than Grating or
| chopping six lemons, hut is consid-
erably better. The amYl acetate
gives an odor to the bait which
makes it very attractive to grass
| honpers and cutworms, and they
will eat it in preference to the
Young lettuce. In mixing up the
bait growers should observe the fol
lowing rules.
/. Measure amounts carefully,
don't guess.
| 2. Mix sawdust and bran thor
oughlv.
/ 3. Dissolve/ sodium arscrite in l
quart water.
| 4. Mix salt, molasscs, banana oil
and water thoroughly.
! 5. Add poison and mix thorough
Ily.
| 6. Pour poisoned "soup" over
bran and sawdust mixture slowly
| and mix vigorously.
| Z. Mix all materials very thor
oughly.
8. Add enough water to make
mash crumbly but not sloppy.
| When squeezed in hand only 9 or 3
| drops Of water should come out.
| o. Broadcast over the field carly
in the morning Or late in the after
noon.
| 10. This amount is sufficient for
| 4 20 5 aores.
| II. Don't expect results sooner
than or 4 day.
| u. If grasshoppers are still bad,
! put out more bait.
! 13. If sodium arscniic cannot be
| purchased at seed store or drug.

NAVY APPROVES
AIRCRAFT REPORT
Agrees With National Ad-
visory Body on Stand
ardizing Steps.

Recommendations of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
recently sent to Congress by Presi-
dent Coolidge, are approved by the
Navy Department as regards steps
necessary to stabilize the aircraft
industry. a statepent issued last
night by the department said its
policy of aircraft procurement, well
established, was to standardize on
types of planes determined by the
general board as necessary for the
service.
The types needed are fighting
planes for work with the fleet, OBJ
servation craft to spot gunfire; scout
ing-torpedo- o-bombing planes for gen.
cral offensive and scouting work,
patrol planes for coastal observation
and training craft. A number of de-
signs of each type are available and,
after extensive tests, it is stated, a
single design for each type has been
adopted.
Classes Defined.
I'm the fighting class there are
the rs and the NE-7, now in serv-
ice" the department announcement
said. In the observation class there
is the UO-1. This has proved to be
q most satisfactory observation air
plane, having been used with great
est success by the scout cruisers CO.
operating in Greenland with the
around world flyers. The scout
ing-torpedo- BON bing planes have
been combined in single three pur-
pose design. This is the CS, which
now holds the unofficial endurance
record.
In the patrol type the PM is an
experimental development. Two of
these airplanes established new world
records at the air pageant at Balti-
more. In the training type the Boe-
ing training plane has been stand
ardized. All of the above aircraft are
powered with the new Wright en-
gineS.
There are sufficient of the TS and
VETS now on oIder. A considera bl e
number of UO-1S have already been
delivered, more are on order and still
more are contemplated. These air
craft are being purcha sed judiciously
With a view to sta b iiZing their manu-
facture. A number of the CS design
are now on order and an equal num-
Der are scheduled for purchase at the
proper time. \ large number of train
ing planes are on order and about to
be delivered. Others will be delivered
as necessary.

in addition, it was added, "a very

signs being under construction in

types and to maintain at the same
