Brunei Becomes PoWn
 In JoPonese Conquest
sAAAAAaAAAAAAaAAAAAA1

THE southward thrust of Japa-
 nese armies may bring a new change in the status of Brunei once a powerful Sultanate.
 The stamp above, issued in 1926, pictures native scene with huts raised on slender piles of Nibong palm, which resist the decaying action of water for years.
 Brunei, in northwestern Borneo, once included northern Borneo, Sarawak, and southern Palawan. Sarawak was ceded to Sir James Brooke after British naval vessels stamped out piracy in the islands and aided in suppressing a native revolt. Other strips of lands were later ceded to Sarawak and the British North BcEneo Company.
 The first Sultan of Brunei Getty of peace) governed the country before the introduction of Moham- mechanism in the 18th century. The nation hourished and attracted the Spaniards who captured Brunei in 1880 but were soon driven out.
 Later the capital, also called Brunei, became resort for pirates and the slave trade market in the 18th century. In 1888 the country was placed under British protec- ton.
 In 1906 England concluded a treaty with the Sultan which gave the civil administration to a Britt ish resident.

There are several methods of pro- tecting garden crops against disease, among which are crop rotation, soil treatment, use of disease-free seed and plants, disease-reSistant varie- ties, seed treatment, and spraying and dusting with fungicides. Plant ing diseaSe-reSiStant varieties has proved the most effective method,
 The home gardener can get help in selecting varieties of vegetables that are relatively resistant to dis ease under local growing conditions from gardening specialists at the state agricultural college, the coun- ty agricultural adviser, or reputable seed dealers.
 TWO TYPES OF INSECTS
 In combating insects, home gar- denees have two general classes to deal with. One is the chewing or biting insects - those that take their food by biting off pieces of the plant. Damages done by these insects is easily recognized by holes in the leaves or by ragged foliage.
 The other class is the sucking in- secta-those that pierce through the surface of plant tissue with needle like mouth parts to take nourish- rnent by sucking the sap below. TheSe include thrips, leafhoppers, and tiny, green, lice-like aphids.
 Formerly, the biting insects were controlled principally by poisonous lead arsenate or Paris green, but these insecticides may make the edible portions of the vegetables poisonous for humans and animals as well as insects. Also these in- sectieide are relatively harmless to the sucking-type insects, because they pierce the poisoned surface to draw food from below.
 For most vegetables with edible portions exposed to insecticides, TO- tenone or pyrethrum are recom- mended, for they control sucking insects as well as the biting kind, and are not poisonous to humans. Certain contact sprays such as nico- tine can be used effectively against the sucking type insects, too.
 Probably the three most inpor- tant insects in home, gardens are cutworms, cabbage worms, and Mexican bean beetles. Poison bait such as wheat bran poisoned by Paris green is the most effective control for cutWorms and bean

FEDERAL RENTS
 BRING PROTESTS

A petition signed by sS of l22 fam lilies now living at the federal de- fense housing project on Long Hill road, complaining that rents and other charges are excessive, has been relayed by Congressman Joseph E. Talbot to Price Administrator Leon Henderson.
 Letters accompanying the petition charge that rents are too high for average workers and Ahat charges for light ana gas service are exor- bitant. Flat rates charged for gas and electricity were assailed.
 Congressman Talbot suggested to MT. Henderson that the program against rent "gouging" might well be started with the governments own housing projects.

beetles can bes: be controlled with pyrethrum or rotenone. Local gar dening experts, State college of agri- culture, or the U. s. Department of Agriculture are to be able to supply additional information on insect control.
 STORE INSECTICIDES
 CAREFULLY
 Gardeners are warned that wher- ever insecticides are used to com- bat insects, great care should be taken to see that they are stored in a safe place where there will be no chance of persons or animals being poisoned. It is suggested that poisonous materials be applied as sparingly as is consistent with con- trol of the insects. Early applica- ton often make it unnecessary to apply control measures late in the development of the plant.
 In some communities, several gardeners may buy a sprayer to- gether. The small compressed air type is adequate for small garden plots. It is made with strap that fastenS over the shoulder so that 1t is easy to carry.
 The successful gardener uses measures to protect his crop against insects and disease from the time the seed is planted until the crop is harvested.

cernins wage adjustments whenever,

When the contract was signed in

immediate increase of 10 per cent.

in .Amesbury on August II, 20 and 81,
by Marx Lewis, executive vice presi-
dent, DR.. Alfred Braunthal, research
director, Hugh J. Glover, vice presi-
dent, and Il committee of the workers.

Der, 1043 The new wages awarded by
the arbitrator will remain in effect
for the life of the agreement except
for changes made necessary by ma
terial cost of living changes.

The Devil Is Amused

The cost of Il two pound mutton roast.

That is with gravest error fruught.
