BIG CROWD SEES
DEMONSTRATIONS
ON PEST CONTROL

y large crowd Of interested grow
ers attended the insect control de-
monstration held under the auspices
of the agricultural extension service
near Brawley, yesterday afternoon.
Roy +. Campbell, United States
department of agriculture truck
crop insect control expert, was the
principal speaker of the afternoon.
He lectured on the life history and
habits of aphis and thrips and how
to control them. Ee advocated the
use of dusts, stating that control
by spraying, fumigation or use of in
sect enemies had been practically
universally abandoned. Arsenical
dusts should be used against chew
ing insects, but these were of no
avail against insects such as aphis
that suck the juices out of plants,
and for which the use of nicotine
dust is by far the best remedy.
Campbell pointed out that home mix
ed nicotine dusts could be made by
farmers at cost of about l6 cents
per pound while the factory mixed
dust5 cost 25 10 30 cents per pound
and were no better. Campbell and
Farm Advisor Garthwaite then de.
mOnstrated how farmers could mix
their own dusts.

Demonstrations were then given
on the operation of various types of

busters, and combination self mix

planned the advantages and disad-

properly busted not only produced
double the weld of undusted peas,
but that quality was much higher.

by him in Imperial Valley showed

G. +. Cook of Brawlcy, stated that
in tests which Campbell had been
conducting on his ranch for the last

had been secured by using the self

consisting of one third hydrated
lime, one third sulfur, one third gyp-
sum and 10 per cent nicotine sulfate.

President Coolidge told the heads Of

Coolidge said, "the natural increase in

In kitchen, the best plan is to lay
linoleum in some attractive color and

smooth, waterproof, -absorptive and

All containers should be made insect

dustproof covers. Edges of shelves,
bins and cabinets should be rounded
and all woodwork should be free from

as these only furnish places in which
dust can lodge.
Lighting fixtures should be placed
so as to furnish as much light as pos

table, the sink and the stove. Water
faucets should be placed so that hot

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL

THE DISAPPEARING
LOBSTER

EVERYBODY likes sea foods. We
- not only like it but we must have
1t In order to keep well. And no won
1t In order to keep well. Human be-
ings need salt. They also need iodine,
which is found In all sea products and
without which health cannot be main
tanned.
So there is a real reason for our
craving for sea products. Up to date,
man has treated the sea as he has
treated the forests. He is just learn
ing that If he would continue to have
these natural gifts he must use them
wisely and economically.
One doesn't have to be a million
aires son or Broadway chorus girl
to know that Holsters, one Of the most
delicious foods the sea provides, are
gradually becoming not only smaller
and poorer In quality but also much
more expensive. This is because lob
sters for years past have been caught
and sold without any restrictions and,
like wild animals and game birds that
are not protected, they are becoming
scarce because they are not allowed
TO breed and grow and are, conse-
quently, in serious danger of being ex-
terminated.
In the early days, lobster fishing
was carried on largely as a local In
dustry. Every seaside village in New
England had a number of lobster fish
ers. One could go down to the wharf
In the morning after the lobster pots
had been raised and buy the largest
and finest Holsters, fresh out of the
sea, for ten and fifteen cents apiece.
In those days, the fishermen only
brought in the largest and best. All
those below certain size were thrown
back.
linen the canning industry stimu-
lated the price and decreased the de-
mand. A lot of small Holsters would
NIL a can as well as one big one. So
more Holsters and smaller Holsters
were taken until they are now scarce
and small.
Efforts to protect. the lobster are
now being made. Only Holsters above
a certain size can be caught and sold.
Lobster fishing is forbidden during the
breeding season and the fisheries bu-
reau of the government is Matching
young Holsters to restock the waters.
This is slow work, as the female
lobster lays eggs only once In two
years. The baby Holsters are exposed
to many dangers from the time they
are Matched until their shells are
grown.
Experts estimate that it will take
20 years of legal protection and arti-
fetal propagation to bring the lobster
supply back to what it formerly was.

BACK AT CRITICS
"Wh.te House Voice" Praises
U. S. Entry Into Internation-
al Court of Justice.

Washington - President Coolidge,
through his White House spokesman,
hit back at critics of his administra-
TONS foreign and domestic policies.
He defended American adherence to
the World Court, denied that this
country was being led into the League
OF Nations, reasserted his desire for a
speedy arms conference, maintained
that the national defense is adequate
and insisted that the regular depart
ments of government are functioning
WELL The spokesman warned that
this is the season of the year when
selfish political motives often underlie
criticism Of the party in power and
mentioned especially the charges that
the administration is trying to take
the country into the league through
the back door.
The administrative branches of the
government are functioning well and
business conditions are good, the
spokesman said, in apparent answer to
charges of ineffciency in administra-
ton of the justice department, prohi-
bition enforcement and alleged inter
ference with the tariff commission and
other independent agencies. All ques-
lions Of law violation are being and
will be examined, and will be attend
ed to, the spokesman said. In making
his sweeping defense, "the spokes-
man" departed from his customary
practice of answering specific press
questions and instead spoke from
carefully prepared notes covering the
general domestic and foreign sit
uation.
