Care" may prove helpful to local gar
deners: Insect attacks are very COM
mon on house plants. In the living
room or in sunny. dry spots, or when
the foliage is not washed regularly, the
start. 1t is not a true spider but
mite which can be detected by the VEL
low spots which it causes on the leaves.
1t can be controlled by spraying the
plants with cold water under pressure
and prevented by regular sprinkling of
the foliage recommended earlier to
maintain high humidity.
Scale insects of many kinds attack
almost all >house plants, especially
palms and foliage plants. They can
be controlled by first washing the
plants in cold water and then apply
ing a thick lather of soap and water
over the entire plant After the lather
has been on the plant for Is to 20
minutes. it should be washed off with
lukewarm water The plants should
then be rinsed two or three times TO
remove all the soap. Any scales which
remain may be easily rubbed off with
a toothbrush, a rag, or even with the
fingers. The same treatment will rid
a plant of mealy bugs. While going
through this operation, have the pot
tilted so that as little soapy water as
possible will run down into the soil

as green f1y and plant lice and can be

CRICKET DRIVE
GAINS REPORTED

Results OF the cricket control
work in Big Horn county which has
been going ON during the last three
months Is showing mp very def
fniteIy I'm the saving Of crops which
are now ready to harvest, accord
ing 10 George w. Gustafs0n, county
extension agent.
One of the best examples Of dust
ing and one in which the value can
be measured in dollars and cents may
be found on unit No. 4, Of the Camp
bell Farming corporation, located south
Of Hardin. This unit was more seriously
infested with crickets early In the spring
than any part of the county On this
unit are 5000 acres Of the finest wheat
in Big Horn county ready for the COM
bine with an estimated yield as high as
25 bushels per acre.
This entire acreage nearly, was in
tested with cricketS that had Matched
out within or IN the vicinity Of these
wheat fields. 1t looked almost hopeless
TO do anything to save it, but realizing
that nothing could be saved If no effort
was made to control these crickets, an
extensive control campaign was inaugu-
rated with Fred Hodges, an employe OF
the corporation, in charge Of this work.
A systematic plan Of busting with ar
almost two months the spreading Of
poison went on. The cricketS have now
been completely destroyed in these
fields, finding it no longer necessary to
poison and resulting the saving Of the
wheat crop with less than / percent
damage.
In checking up on the results Of the
work, Tom Haines, who is in charge OF
field work for the corporation, admits
that the entire crop of wheat on the
5000 acres would have been destroyed
by the cricketS except for the poisoning
campaign. Based on an estimated value
Of 10 bushels per acre here is a saving
of approximately 100000.
Thirty tons of arsenic and lime were
mixed up and used in this control work.
The busting was done by means OF hand
busters some Of which were used from
the rear of a pickup truck enabling
faster spreading The cost of such
equipment and material Is approx
mately 81. 900 or less than 80 cents per
acre.
Similar results have been obtained
by other farmers of Big Horn county
where busting was done properly and
at the right time.
Most of the poison material was Sc
cured through the Crow Indian agency,
some through the sources OF WPA.

BURIAL ASKED
BY MRS. DUFF

Consideration for her friends
even after death was shown by
Mrs. Clementins Farr Duff, 84-year-
old Capital resident, who for %
years secretly distributed millions
In philanthropies here, it was re-
vealed today when it was learned
that the prin little lady is not to
be buried until spring, $50 that
people will not have to brave bad
weather to visit my grave"
She died February and her body
now lies in a vault in the receiving
room at Cedar Hill Cemetery,
awaiting burial this spring in
Philadelphia beside the grave Of
her husband, John j. Duff, a New
York real estate man.
Her last request that she be
not buried during bad weather
was revealed today by Stanton
c. Peelle, attorney, who Is one
Of the executors Of her estate,
which is valued at almost $2,000,-
900. The burial request was not
stipulated in writing, Mr.. Peelle
added.
Another unusual provision
made by Mrs. Duff was q
bequest Of $4,000 to be used ex'
clusively to buy generous por-
tionS" of ice cream for the pa
tients of the washington Home
for Incurables once each week.
Meanwhile, those close to her
yesterday drew aside some Of the
veil of secrecy which surrounded
her entire life. Said a member
Of her chauffeur's family:
"She lived in comfort, but
she was careful not to spend
anything she did not deem
necessary. She managed to
give away all her income each
yea, except what she required
to keen up her household"

D|MNET TALKS
AT TOWN HALL

The present French Government
is not socialist, only liberal, Abbe
Ernest Dimnet, author and
scholar, told his audience at Town
Hall last night, at the Shoreham
Hotel.
He said:
''YOu must understand that
our liberals are really cOnserva-
tiveS but we call them radicals.
What we need is. q changed
vocabulary" -'a -ts.s
Describing Blum as one Of the
most versatile and brilliant of men,
Memnet painted an interesting pic
ture of Frances premier. He was,
he said, a patron of the arts and
a cultured man.
French workers, Dimnet said,
have a 40-hour week and a IS per
cent increase in wages since Blum
came into power. The increase in
wages, he pointed out, had been
largely nullified by a 13 per cent
increase in living.
Economy and finance are the
only two stumbling blocks in the
path Of the prime minister, Dim.
net said, but he expressed the be-
lief that Blum'S reforms would be
lasting.
Questioned by Herbert Wright,
international law professor at
Catholic University, Dimnet ad.
mitted that French agricultural
workers had shown resentment at
industrial reforms which had in
creased their living cost. France,
however, he said, was in no danger
from a "sit-down strike"
Members of the panel, included

Washington headquarters, Inter-
national Labor Office; Anson
Phelps. canon of the Washington
Cathedral; Herbert Wright, and
