THE ASPARAGUS
BEETLE

Reports of injury by the aspar-
agus beetle in Washington, come
in occasionally from the Yakima
Valley and also from western
Washington. The insect was intro
duced into this country from
Europe many years ago and has
appeared in the Pacific Northwest
only in the last few years. Accord
ing to Yothers these beetles were
first observed in Cowlitz county in
1927.
The damage is caused by the
beetles and larvae which feed on
the tender shoots early in spring
and later attack the foliage of the
asparagus plant. The beetle is
about one-fourth-inch long, BLUSH
black in general appearance, spot
ted with orange. The pattern on
the wing covers varies greatly.
Mature grubs are soft and wrinkl-
ed, dark olive in color with black
head, and about one-fourth inch
long.
The beetles winter over in or
near the asparagus plants, hiber-

humans, they can smell the spray
even when it is applied so thin
ly that people are unaware of its
presence.
Commercial preparations usually
contain 40 percent of nicotine sui
phate. Such preparations should
be used at the rate of one and one
half teaspoonful to a gallon of wa
ter. The spray evaporates and it
should be renewed after rains, or
about once every two weeks in or.
binary weather.

mating under any convenient shell
ter. Early in spring they feed on
the tender asparagus tips, eating
holes into these and causing a
brownish discoloration. Where
abundant, the asparagus beetle is
liable to cause serious damage. The
oval, brownish eggs are deposited
on the young shoots and the tiny
grubs feed first on the tender tips
and later on the asparagus foliage.
When they are mature, the grubs
enter the soil, form a small earth
en- cell, and transform to beetles
within. There are probably two
generations of the insect, at least
in this latitude, and consequently
some injury may be expected later
on in the season as well as in the
spring.
Where the asparagus is being
cut for market, injury by the grubs
may be prevented by cutting the
crop clean every three to five
days. The eggs hatch in from three
to eight days, and if all asparagus
tips are out every three days.
there is practically no opportunity
for these eggs to hatch and the
grubs to cause damage.
1t is sometimes desirable tc
leave plants untouched in part
of the asparagus bed to serve as q
trap for the beetles. The grubs
and beetles may be poisoned by
spraying these plants with lead
arsenate-two pounds to so gal.
Ions of water. Of course one should
not cut asparagus from any por.
tion of the bed which is being
sprayed with a poison of this
kind.
If lead arsenate is used this
should be done early. It is not ar
easy matter to spray a heavy
growth of asparagus plants latt
in the season.

try to destroy the beetles. This is
an old-time remedy used back in
New England many years ago. In
this event, however, one should
not resort to spraying with an ar.
senical because of the danger Of
poisoning chickens.

are glad to have friends visit it
and the reason for screening it in
rather thoroughly.
A few shrubs and perennials and
ANIMALS may be used for this
area, but the better types oe plants
had better be used in the garden or
public areas.
The garden area is not an area
devoted, as the name might indi-
cate, to the vegetable garden, but
is the area devoted to special
flower garden set-up. In other
words the term outdoor living
room may be more descriptive of
what we want in the area. It is
the area which is screened almost
completely from the public and in
to which our friends may see only
| when they are taken there as a
guest of the home. It is also the
area where the housewife may take
callers in the afternoon to sit on
the lawn in the shade of trees and
visit or do some mending or other
necessary work which can be read
lily be taken there. The garden area
should have first, some central
point of interest such as bird bath,
sun dial, or pool or rockery. This
is the point to which the attention
is drawn as one surveys the area
and should be at the far end of the
! garden as viewed from the dining
room or living room window which
looks out into the garden area.
This area should be developed so
as to be framed with shrubbery or
perennials and ANIMALS with trees
planted so as to provide shade at
the right points. Care should be
taken however, that the trees do
not shade the pool except in early
morning or late evening. Borders
should be of varied width and the
tall growing shrubs or perennials
or ANIMALS used at the outside
grading down to the low growing
ANIMALS and perennials along the
edge. Shrubs and ANIMALS and per-
ennials should be used in clumps
! in the development of the border
land the groups set in so as to blend
well as far as color and bloom,
and time of blooming and heights
are concerned.
It is not too late yet to give
considerable attention to the de-
velopment of areas to be planted
or transplanted. The application
Of some Of these principles this
year will give one AN idea Of
greater possibilities another sea-
son and as one goes on from sea-
son to season they should develop
each year a better design. If one
adheres closely to the principle
given above we do not think it
will be necessary to spend much
time in transplanting shrubs and
perennials which have been mis-
planted. This kind of work en-
ables one to express their own in
dividuality in the working out Of
the design and to those who enjoy
it will become thing Of great deal
of pleasure.

FUNDAMENTALS
IN YARD DESIGN

The first fundamentals in the
design of the home grounds is the
proper division of the area. This
should include the public area, the
private area and the garden or
out door living room area.
The public area is that area in
front and often partially along the
side of the house. In other words
it is that area which the public
will always have a view of.
The planting of the public area
should include trees so located
that they will throw shade on to
the house or on to the lawn where
it is desired without being plant
ed directly in front of the house.
AS far as possible it is well to
have these trees planted along the
rear line of the public area which
would be the line which would di-
vide the public area from the serv-
ice or garden area for the back.
1T may be well to have one speci-
men tree planted in the lawn. This
tree should be selected with con-
siderable care and should be some
thing which will not grow too
large for the space to be filled.
Cut leaf weeping white birch make
splendid specimen trees in this
section. Shrubs should be used in
filling in around the house, the
corners of walks and they screen
the areas back of the house.
The serving area is the area
which is used for the hanging of
clothes, delivery of groceries and
of fuel and a play area for the
children. This should be at the
rear of the house, screened in
fairly well from the public and the
garden area. 1t is difficult to keep
this area in condition so that we

INSECT SPRAY KEEPS
CATS AND DOGS AWAY

The problem of keeping cats and
dogs out of flower beds, shrub
berry, and in general where they
are not wanted, appears solved by
the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Simply spray flowers, shrubs, or
premises with a dilute nicotine
sulphate spray and cats and dogs
will avoid them, the department
says. The spray is harmless to the
plants and is very offensive to an

sucking insects. As eats and dogs

drives for their church. In the front
of this building there is black
smith shop or rather a general re-
pair shop where Mr.. VOgl can do
anything, even repair the children's

WHO'S who OF
SENIOR CLASS
Kathryn Sapp, The Girl
With The Giggle.

Kathlyn Sapp is one of those two
girls in Milford High School who are
distinguished by their laughs. The
other one is Lily Lord. Every now
and then at any time you're likely to
hear that laugh and then the whole
class goes into commissions. It's not
the usual ha-ha but we can't go into
that right now.
Kathlyn was seventeen on the 10th
of November. She was born in Mil
ford, entered our class in the first
grade and has been with us ever
since. She takes commercial
course, may go to Beacoms, and
wants to be a stenographer. In the
first place she wanted to be nurse.
Recently she changed her mind.
Maybe she will again before this ar
ticle is printed.
She told us she was eight feet tall
but in reality she is between five
and six, possibly nearer the five. She
has brown hair and eyes, and is very
thin. She likes to wear sweaters and
skirts. Red is her favOrite color. She
is the class secretary because she
writes so beautifully. She is also a
Girl Reserve. She hates to have her
name misspelled; so many people
say Kathryn or Katherine. Her nick
name is ST, but inside the crystal of
her watch there is paper with the
name Lester" on it. What could
that mean? Only one thing-that
great big ring she wears with the
red stone and the letter 81" is not
really hers.
In our play "The Farnhurst Jew
els" Si played the part of Peg. the
gum-chewing country girl. She look
ed so nifty in that little brown suit
she wore in the last act, however,
that you'd never say she was hick,
even if she did enjoy her pickle. The
one trouble her co-players had was
trying to remember not to call her
Isl"
X. Sapp loves dogs. She has two.
Fluffy, a poodle, and Brownie. a
Chesapeake Retriever. She Isl, that
isl hates cats. Maybe the dogs do
too.
Si is a very prominent member of
our class. She takes part in nearly
everything that goes on; where
there's any excitement you'll always
find her. And you'll always know
her too. She's the girl with the gig

MILFORD TAKES
SECOND PLACE
IN STATE CONTEST
Lewes School Band Shines

Gee! I'm tired standing! II is GER
tainly warm! These are few of the
bits of conversation heard in the
high school auditorium at Dover on
Saturday, April %, the second day of
the all-State singing contest-the
day of the festival. There were so
many people there that they couldn't
all find comfortable standing room.
But, the ones who had a seat were
enjoying the numbers, which Pro-
fessor Zanzig had chosen from the
eliminations held on Friday Milford
had two of these picked numbers,
One was a chorale entered by Pro-
fessor Hudson and the other mix
ed quartet entered by Miss Fielder.
The school band from Lewes was
one great feature of the day. What
a picture it was to see those boys in
their blue and yellow uniforms sit
ting straight up and ready at any
moment to play something that had
some pep in it.
You have now learned the whole
thing in nut shell, but you have
not heard who came out of the nut
shell with the honors. We are very
much satisfied to take our licking
which comes every time we have to
tell that Lewes won the contest,
beating Milford by eight points Both
cups went to Lewes. They earned it
and we wish to congratulate them
on their activity in both vocal and
instrumental work.

the children's clothes and Mr.. Vogl

great strength. He always had had
to do hard manual labor and thus
developed great muscular power.

cause his wife attaches more senti-
