Garden Clean Up
Now May Reduce
1912 Insect Damage

| A preseason garden cleanup will
help to reduce crop damage by insects
in 1912 and is especially important if
there is a shortage of some insecti-
cides, according to DR.. E. N. Cory,
Entomologist for Maryland
He points out that many kinds of
insects live over the winter in truck
crop residue left on the land, in weeds,
leaf litter, and under boards and
trash piled on the ground. Others
take refuge in bitches, waste places,
and in and around storage houses.
Entomologists find it pays to pillow
under, feed, or destroy the plant resi-
due, and remove litter and trash from
garden sites as soon after harvest as
possible, even when there is no pos
sibility of a shortage of insecticides.
This year garden sanitation is more
important than ever because of the
increased need for many vegetable
crops as defense food.
Some commercial and home garden
ers in Maryland did not pillow their
land Immediately after harvest the
past season, DR.. Cory says, but there
may still be time to reduce insect
populations by blowing as soon as soil
conditions permit. Land not subject
to erosion may be plowed before win
ter weather is over to expose many
insects and insect eggs to freezing,
and to bury alive those alternating
in weeds and plant residue.
For example, tomato aphids and
common stalk borers, which pass the
winter as eggs on grass and weeds,
are unable to survive if buried in the
soil by blowing. Tomato hornworm
and tomato fruit worm, which de-
veloped during the later part of the
season on crop remnants, are similar
ly destroyed,
It's always a good practice to clean
up storage houses, DR.. Cory adds, and
when necessary, fumigate or other
wise treat stored beans and cowpeas
to eliminate insects. Sprayers, dust
crs, and other gardening machinery
and equipment should be stored under
cover and all working parts covered
with oil because of the difficulty in
obtaining new machinery.

Hunters Required
To File Reports

Hunters, whether lucky or unlucky
during the 1941 season, are all eX-
pected to have filed reports with the
State Game Warden, E. Lee Le-
compile, by today, January Is.
All successful hunters have to do
is note the number of each species of
game they bagged on a card attached
to each hunting license and mail it,
the sender paying the postage.
Reports are to be filed by all per-
sons who obtained hunting, licenses
in 1941, even though they did not bag
any game whatever.
Penalty for failure to make the re-
port, under the provisions of a new
law, is a 50 fine, and since a record
is kept of all licenses issued, enforce
ment is said to be comparatively
simple.
