sonian Institution. DR.. Towens is
employed by the Department OF
Agriculture to identify species and
to answer questions sent in by farm
ers. He has one of the best COL
lections OF echmoneuns (of the
wasp family In the East. He has
more than 400 boxes OF mounted
insects.
Morton's collection of wasps num-
bers two glass cases, about 2 feet
long and several feet wide. He has
several large boxes, too. All his in
sects are mounted with special pins.
He also collects beetles and flies.
During the summer Morton spent
a lot Of time collecting various in
sects. He collected 80 species COM
monty known as velvet ants, of the
genus mutillidae. OF this particular
species there are only IS known
ones in the District. In one section
OF the country, somewhere in the
Middle West, Morton says, it took
a man many years to collect this
species, and he still only has %
more than the Roosevelt boy. Most
OF Morton's species are caught in
Rock Greek Park after school. Some
times, he spends five or more hours
day on his hobby.
Morton also owns a large sharks
tooth, probably one of the largest
that most of lis have ever seen. He
Is also interested in football.
Now Morton is planning on join
ing the Roosevelt Nature Club,
under the direction of Miss Owen,
our biology teacher.
He lives at 1708 Taylor street NV.

Ny father built house for me
Within the land of the blessed free.
His fathers fathers carved this land
From blood and toll and sweat and
sand.
They saw an empire come to life
And free itself from petty strife.
They saw the forests crumble down,
Giving way to city and town.
They fought and died for liberty,
To establish their house in a country
free.
I shall some day build a home
When I leaye the oceans foam,
And in my house III worship God
For giving me the blessed sod.
Though today I sail the sea
And help to fight for Victory,
My heart remains where was born,
And I am saddened and forlorn.
Dear God,
Grant that my son be
Ever happy, ever free.
And If I should never see
Home again,
Please let there be
Some good action I have done
To make a home for another mans
son.

Use Cryolite To
Control Insects

Cryolite can be used as a stom-
ach poison for a number of in
sects now attacking Victory Gar
den vegetables, says J. Myron
Maxwell, Extension Entomolog-
list at N. c. State College.
Rotenone is scarce and its use
is restricted, therefore cryolite is
recommended for controlling gar
den insects. According to Max
we'll, it is slightly poisonous and
leafy vegetables receiving appli-
cations of cryolite should be
thoroughly washed before being
eaten.
Cryolite is highly recommend
ed for the control of the Mexi-
can bean beetle. It can be used
on snap beans before the pods
are set and also on lima beans.
According to the entomologist,
the busting of cryolite on toma-
toes will be found to be effective
in the control of tomato fruit and
horn worms, and also for flea
beetles. 1t is also recommended
for the control of spotted and
striped cucumber beetles on can
taloupes, cucumbers and squash.
It is the best known method of
control for the pickle worm,
which enters the fruits of these
vegetables late in the season.
Cabbage worms and leaf eating
insects on egg plant can also be
controlled by applications of cry
olite, the entomologist says.
Cryolite is a fluorine compound
that comes from natural cryolite
mined in Greenland and from
synthetic cryolite produced in the
manufacture of aluminium. It is
relatively plentiful this year. In
speaking of its poisonous proper
ties, Maxwell said: ''There is
comparatively little danger in
any of these poisonous residues
on the leaves of vegetables be-
cause of the small amount Of the
material present"
