INSECTS TO WATCH OUT FOR

At this time of the year it is part
icularly important to keep a close
watch out for insects of various
crops and fruit trees. Great damage
is sometimes done within a few hours
which might have been prevented by
a closer watch and the use Of a
small busting or spraying. To check
an outbreak of insects usually takes
little time and money for spraying
but in most instances where allowed
to become heavily infested the cost
is not only great but the time and
labor required to get them under con
troll and the damage to the particular
crop is greater than ,he return from
the crop.
The two general classes Of insects
that require special attention when
time comes to combat them are chew
ing and sucking. They are readily
recognized by the nature Of injury
to the crop and the methods of con
troll are different for the two classes
and in many instances dilrer within
the class.
As a rule the chewing insects may
be killed by applying a poison to thC
portion of plant being eaten. The
poison may ho anplicd u the form
of powder or in a liquid TO suit
the convenience Of the grower anc
the thoroughness in which he may ap
ply it, Prccaution should be takcr
TO avoid the use of poisons that may
cause damage to the plant in burn
ing and one should be careful in get
ting the proper mixture before apply
ing; that is, he should get the mix
ture strong enough to kill the parti
cular insect without having an eXces
sive amount. Poisons that are in gen
eral use for the chewing insects in
tclude arsenate Of lead. calcium arsen

ate, paris green, London purple,
White heilibore, etc. OF the list The
arsenate of lead is fas the most prac-
teal and less dangerous to injury
10 the pant Il is rat up in now p
dcrcd form and may be applied
either as a dust o. as a sDrav. For
all general use The powdered dust
should be prepared by mixing one
pound Of the lead with 3 pounds of
lime or flour and should be applied
while the dew is on the plant TO cause
it to stick. Where the liquid spfay
is to be used one and one-half pound
Of lead is required to so gallons of
water and may be applied at any
time.
Some Of the more common insects
that are classes under the chewing"
group, and ones that may give some
trouble at this time, are as follows
The Colorado potato beetle, striped
blister beetles (found in the garden
on beans, peas, potatoes, beets, etc F,
bean leaf beetles, cabbage worms,
tomato worms, tomato fruit worms,
apple tree tent caterpillar, cankcr
worms or measuring" worms. There
are many others that might be men-
toned but all the above includes tine
more important ones that may be com
trollod with arsenate of lead applied
to the plant in which they are eating.
The sucking" insect presents a
more difficult proposition as a whole.
No amount Of poison applied TO Che
leaf or body of a plant whore these
little insects are sucking thc juices
can be made to control or kill them.
They simply stick their bcalt through
the outer covering and into the cells
OF the plant and draw the tender jul
ccs from the inside. In many cases
these may be controlled if work IS
started while they are young and be-
fore th"v have gained much foot
hold. These insects breathe through
H clc5 or breathing pores on Che
side Of the body and if a contact
spray is applied so as to hit the in
sect he may be killed. The use OF
nicotine sulphate has been found very
affective as a contact spray. As 9
dust it has been found nose effect
i've on most of the sucking type in
sects. Kerosene emulsion, fishoi
soap and various other contact sprays
have been used with success and eaci
have their place in the control oi
this class of insect.
Washington telegraph., 1927-05-06

Care must be exercised in the use
of the contact sprays more often
than the poison sprays to prevent in
jury to the tender growing plants.
Nicotine sulphate is sold in the dust
form and in the liquid form. The
dust form is sold under the name of
Nicotine Dust and the liquid form
as Nicotine sulphate or as Black leaf
40. Directions are usually furnished
when the material is purchased.
Some of the more important insects
under the sucking" class that should
be watched for at this time are as
follows: Aphis or plant-lice (The
plant lice attack many different
plants, such as turnips, mustard,
cabbage, beans, clover, melons, cucu-
bcrs, peas, spinach, apples, roses, etc.
They 'arc found as small lice in The
under side of the leaf sucking and
causing it to curl up), flea beetles,
squash bug, harlequin cabbage bug,
etc. The plant-lice are by far the
more important of this group but
may be controlled very easily with
the nicotine sulphate either in the
dust or liquid form. The great adj
vantage of the dust form is in the
case of low growing plants that have
their leaves near the ground. The
dust may be applied more effectively
and VII come in contact with more
Of the underside of the leaves than
will the liquid form.

WORKING GIRL COMPLAINS

Some attention has been attracted
to the letter of a young eirl n the
state of New Jersey, who vrotc ihc
governor Of that state. complaining
that married women were taking the
bread out Of The mouths Of ,hc single
girls who needed employment.
The idea is chat married women
work merely to obtain money foi
luxmies and chat thc- should not do
so because they keen single girls out
of employment. The basis Of The ar
gument is that the married woman
has a mea, ticket in the shape of a
husband.
This idea is fast disappearing. The
modern young married women, very
often, has little or no homework to
do, and babies do not come ne often
as in the years past. Why should a
young girl, after being married, sit
idle? The viewpoint Of ,he married
man is not considered. If his wife
is to be barred from making money
even for Injuries. which he cannot
purchase largely because his money
goes 60 q wife and babies should 10
not receive larger salaries than single
men, who are able to selfishly take
care of Themselves

Plants Need Extra
| Raiions to Attain
Best Development

Men get hungry regularly: so do
plants. A man does not expect his
breakfast to carry him through the
day, week or month. He eats dinner
and supper to satisfy his craving for
food. Crops are no different. a lit
tie ordinary fertilizer at planting
time-perhaps it was only cottonseed
meal-isn't going to satisfy them ror
the entire growing season. They must
receive additional food so they can
keep growing and gather strength to
fight weevils. lleas, disease and
draught, and in the end produce q
money-making yield That is why
side-dressines of quick-acting nitro
gen are usually so profitable.
Probably no fertilizer is so well
and favorably known in this connec-
tion as nitrate of soda and expert
ence has shown that 15D to 200
pounds applied about chopping out
time ordinarily pays very well. 1t
should be put on four to six inches
from the plant on one side of each
row and cultivated into the soil. 1t
can be applied by hand or with a dis
tributor or planter. With moisture in
the soil, nitrate Of soda is taken up
by the plant without any delay what
ever.
Regardless of whether the price Of
cotton is high or low next Fall, the
farmer who has used good seed, en-
ployed the best cultural methods and
fertilizcd properly will make more
money or lose less than the farmer
who lets nature take its course"

STRIPED CUCUMBER BEETLE

An important insect that should be
kept in very close watch at the pres
ent time is the cucumber beetle. The
! control measure listed above is not
very effective for them since they
vary in their methods of feeling.
They are classed as the chewing in
sect and can be killed with the poi
son recommended above if it we're
possible to get him to eat it. When
poison is applied to the plant he usu-
ally burrows down at the base of the
stem and cuts the plant into under
the ground, He is a very small yell
low or gold colored beetle with three
black stripes down the back. Their
injury is often severe to cucumber
plants while young and are sometimes
equally bad on melons, squash, and
cantaloupes.
The most satisfactory method of
control was found in connection
with the Arkansas experiment stat
ion during the past three years in
which Sodium Fluosilicate was used.
This work is yet under experiment
as there is great danger of burning
to the plants but sufficient expert
ment proves it to be worthy of
some further experiment with the
growers over the country. Some of
the material has been ordered and
will be conducted in some expert
ments in various communities of the
county. Until such time as this work
may be started it would be well for
the grower of the above crops to
watch his fields closely and when the
beetles appear apply a dust to the
base of the plant and to the leaves
made Of ashes and lime mixed
in equal amounts in which three table
spoonsful Of spirits terpentine is
thoroughly stirred. This dust is
merely a crellent anj j. cnly effec-
tive in driving them away for a PEE
riod of time
Prepared Sprays
There are a number of prepared
sprays on the market recommended
to kill all sorts and al! classes of
insects. Such material is to be re-
garded for only the small garden and
where the grower is not overly con-
ccrned whether he kills the insects or
not. Such materials may be found
lvery effective in many cases but us
ually the price is prohibitiye on the
large scale.
