A statement advising Connecti- cut policy holders that the Fed eral Surety company of Davenport, Iowa, has gone into receivership was issued to-day by Insurance Commissioner Howard P. Dunham, in answer to numerous. inquiries which have been received by the Connecticut insurance department concerning the, status of the com pany. 7

 Promote Health
Connecticut Bureau of Public Health Instruction We'll
 Equipped With Big Variety of Films

Moving picture films, posters slides and leaflets covering Q wide variety of subjects concerning health are now available for public use without cost, 1t was announced by the state department of health today. To secure any of this serv- Ice, all that is necessary to do Is to write to the bureau of public health instruction in the state of- flee building at Hartford.
 Of the motion picture films which the health department has made available for use by organizations or groups of any kind which are interested in the promotion of public health, there are twenty seven different pictures on the nar- row width, sixteen ~millimeter film, used in the smaller type of pro- jector. In addition. the departmen nj has forty-nine' motion pictures on standard width, thirty-fipo mil;i- meter film, for use in standard size, theater projectors. ''

With the larger films, 1t is necessary also to have a licensed operator.

WINTER SPRAYING

Ordinarily little spraying is done
until just before the buds burst in the
Spring. but there should be exceptions
When trees or woody shrubs are badly
infested with scale insects an early
Winter spray is advisable. Oils are
more effective than caustic media, such
as lime sulphur, perhaps because of
their greater power of penetration.
Farmers Bulletin 1870, the More I'm
portant Apple Insects, discussing the
control of San Jose scale, states: "A
heavy infestation of the San Jose
scale is best reduced by a very thorough
application during the dormant season
OF 2 to 4 per cent lubricating oil
emulsion or miscible oil at the
strength recommended by the manu-
facturer"
The San Jose scale occurs on a wide
list of plants, but prefers the apple,
pear and peach This insect is capa-
BILE of tremendous increase in the
course of a year If left uncontrolled,
making it a distinct menace to the
welfare of the unfortunate tree or
shrub that Is attacked. BY spraying
in late November or December with
an oil mixture and again in Spring,
just as the bud tips show green, with
lime sulphur, the home gardener
should be able to gain the upper hand
of an infestation of scale. CONNER
cial growers, who spray several times
during the Summer with dilute lime
sulphur, have less trouble with the
scale insects because a considerable
number are killed in the Summer
while in the crawling stage.

WINTER PRUNING

Except for the reason that Spring
made pruning wounds start to heal
more promptly than those made in late
Autumn and early Winter, there is no
logical reason why trees and shrubs that
are to be pruned in the dormant sea-
son should not be pruned at any time
while the foliage is off. In fact, large
fruit growers have to take advantage of
the long dormant period in order to get
the work done before Spring. The home
gardener is little more the master of
the situation and can do his his pruning
at the best season-namely, late Winter.
1t is well to take a sensible view
point of pruning. In itself, pruning is
no benefit to young, thrifty trees or
shrubs, but aids only as it promotes
better shape of the plant, admits sun
light to the interior, etc. Once the
notion prevailed that a tree or shrub
must be cut each year more or less
severely to keep it in the best of con-
dition. Certainly there was no basis
OF truth to such thought Only old
plants that have become loaded with
dying twigs and branches benefit dis
tinctly from pruning. Here the COM
petition between the many branches
has become too severe and the tree
or plant as a whole benefits by clean
ing out of the useless limbs For the
young, thrifty plant or tree very little
pruning is necessary; often none at
all is most desirable Not long ago
the writer observed a strong young
forsythia plant that had been cut back
severely. Here the primer was cut
ting away most of next seasons flower
ing shoots. Whether intentional or
not, 1t was not wise way to handle
q Spring Towering shrub.
