GIVE BATTLE TO
GARDEN PESTS
University EntOmOlOgist Gives Some
Methods of Control of SnaiiS
and Slugs.

Many gardeners of this section of
snails and other garden pests and
they have not only been bothersome
but destructive, almost destroying
whole yields of tomatoes and other
vegetables. To get relief from this
pest, Ludwig MOsbak, Askov nursery
man, wrote to the University of Min
nesota and received the following let
ter from A. G. Ruggles, professor of
Entomology:
I'm reply to your letter of August
10Th, the snails or garden slugs you
refer to have been of no economic
Importance in Minnesota except in
the rainy sections around Duluth. In
controlling them there are at least
three things that could be done The
first one is cleaning up of places I'M
der which these pests hide during the
day. The second one is in the use
of repellents and the third is in the
use of poison bait. These slugs or
snails are night workers though they
are often found feeding in cloudy, wet
weather. When not feeding, they
conceal themselves under vegetation
or any other waste material in the
garden. Many of the snails can be at
tracted to certain places by leaving
certain spots on the soil. They are
often found hiding under old boards
and stones and in fact any place that is
cool and moist. Materials of this
kind could be left around and used as
traps. These traps may be attended
during the day when the specimens
are collected and destroyed. No over
ripe fruit should be left to rot in the
garden, such as Strawberries in
strawberry field.
when using repellents, probably
the best material is a dry Bordeaux
mixture. Ordinary lime was used at
enc time for this purpose, but it was
found that this commercial dry Bor-
deauX mixture gave much better con-
troll. This dust should be sprinkled
under the trap boards at the time the
slugs are being collected and killed.
Even busting this material around the
plants would act as a repellent aid
would help materially in the control.
"The best poison bait that has been
developed up to the present is made
of calcium arsenate-one part by
weight to sixteen parts of chopped
lettuce. If lettuce is not readily
available, cabbage or clover would
answer the purpose, although the
pests seem to prefer the lettuce.
IF these three points are kept in
mind and the treatment repeated once
or twice at ten days intervals, | think
any snail injury will be reduced"

AutO Accident Here.

Erling Nielsen and AXel Brus were
the main participants in an automo-
bile accident Sunday forenoon on the
north and south road a mile west of
Askov. Mr.. and Mrs. Nielsen were
travelling south and had their canoe
tied on top of the car, hence were
going rather slowly; AXel Brus came
along in the same direction with
three passengers in his car at rath-
er fast clip and coming over small
hill did not notice the car ahead of
him in time to avoid hitting it. He
struck the Nielsen car with such
force that it rolled completely over
crushing the top of the car and the
canoe, to such an extent hat both are
practically a total wreck. Mr.. Brus'
car was only slightly damaged and
his occupants shaken up, while Mrs.
Nielsen was bruised considerably
and had to have medical attention.

London diplomats, wide awake to

persuade the Ethiopian king that he

but he replied that the contract had
been drawn up in perfect legal form
and duly signed; furthermore, ne
would remind Great Britain that ETH
opia is an Independent and sovereign
nation which is under no obligations
to solicit advice anywhere abroad, and
finally, since the concessionnaires op-
crate chiefly with American capital,
it was none of Great Britain's bust
ness, anyhow.
In the United States news of the
transaction caused some worry, for it
is well remembered here that former
investments of American capital in
foreign lands have brought trouble IN
their wake. Not that anyone i'm
Washington sensed any immediate
danger of complications-but the stu
alton was regarded as somewhat dis
turbing, just the same.
Apparently least affected by the
Ethiopian news was the Italian die
tator who, while admitting surprise
declared that his plans had not been
altered, and then added that some

No Apology.
From Moscow no apology has been

Russia did. however, send a reply
but disclaimed all responsibility for
words spoken at gathering of an
international group on Russian soil:
| also, the Moscow government advised
that of the United States that anti
Russian propaganda in America was
far more vicious and widespread than
anything said against America in
Russia. Technically, Russia may be
at fault since the agreement of No
vember, 1888, upon which the Amer

Russian obligations to abstain from
hostile propaganda, but said never a
word about corresponding American
commitments. In the Russian reply
to Washington the hope was expressed
that such obligations be considered

tanned by the Metropolitan Police, to
all precinct stations. to those news
paper Offices equipped for police-call
reception-in fact, to all short-wave
radio sets tuned in on the WPDW
band.
This latter fact has pointed out
the one great present disadvantage
against which police radio works.
There is no law against carrying or
owning a radio set which will pick
up police calls. AS a consequence,
bandits equip their cars with them.
There are great stretches of country
yet where no crime-control network
exists; through here criminals can
pass at will almost. constantly being
warned by radio where their purSuers
are. This has caused many cities to
experiment with code signals to con-
fuse the criminal.
Latest development Of radio in the
crime fight spotlight comes from the
Department of Justice. Only last
week Director J. Edgar Hoover re-
leased information indicating he had
received a favorable response by State
and local agencies to proposals for a
Federal radio system. 1t would call
for a powerful police-wave station
capable of flashing to all corners Of
the United States oral and te.ephoto

and other crime-war emergencies.
