Cutting Urged to
Kill Alfalfa Pest

Alfalfa fields infested with alfalfa
worm, the grub which produces
those clouds of white and yellow
butterflies, should be cut early,
just as the plants are budding for
the summer bloom, according to
Frank G.. Beyschlag, county farm
advisor.
Early cutting gives the crop a
chance to outgrow the damage the
worms have done. Before the cut
ting the fields should be given as
many irrigations as possible in Or
der to encourage this growth.
A minimum of worm damage is
found in fields which are pastured
all or part of the time.

Last Monday nights air RAID
and blackout really came as a
surprise and our weekly bouquet
goes to the efficient defense work
ers who responded promptly at
the alarm and covered their neces-
sary stations within a few minutes
after the alarm sounded. The
blackout coming so unexpectedly,
and at such late hour, surprised
many residents and, once again,
many defense workers were called
out of bed in order to fulfill their
duties at their posts.
The rain, the mist, the hour and
the darkness really made the
alarm sound eery and true to life.
The few people who happened to
be on the streets were Immediately
ushered into the movies or nearby
homes and all wardens reported
that though lights were not extin-
guished Immediately, most lights
were finally turned out within 10
minutes. However, 10 minutes and
perhaps even 5 minutes may be 100
long in case of an actual raid and
residents are warned to react more
rapidly in cooperating with the
wardens of their area. Last Mon
day nights raid test was the first
of many to come in the future
at any time, day or highland
citizens are requested to respond
to all alarms Immediately when
sounded.
Commander Rysticken announces
that hereafter all violations Of the
blackout ordinance will be prose-
cuted to the full extent of the
law. He warned against the leav-
ing of a home or apartment with
any light burning. In ordinary
times, this would be an inefficient
waste of electricity. In war time,
a light left burning may cause
considerable loss of property. The
Greenbelt blackout ordinance pro-
vides that from the time the alarm
sounds till the all-clear is given it
is unlawful for any light to pene-
trate to the outside from any
