Insect Pests
Of Cabbages

Inc principal insect enemies OF
the cabbage patch are the common
cabbage worm, the cabbage looper,
the harlequin bug, the cabbage
maggot and the cabbage, turnip
and spinach aphid.
The cabbage worm is the green
caterpillar of the small white but
terf1y. It appears from April till
September and must be guarded
against as often as necessary to
protect the crop. Dusts seem to
give better results than sprays
against this pest. Use some of the
commercial preparations of pyreth-
rum, which are on the market, and
follow the manufacturer direc-
tions carefully. Clear up and burn
all weeds such as pepper grass,
mustard and shepherds purse be-
fore setting out cabbage plants.
The cabbage looper, pale green
when first Matched, becomes striped
as it grows. 1t doubles up and loops
along as it crawls and 1t eats not
only the cabbage group plants, but
sometimes feeds on lettuce, peas,
beets and celery. It's prevention and
treatment is the same as for the
cabbage worm.
The tiny soft-bodied plant lice
may appear from early spring till
late fall. Use spray of nicotine
sulphate or pyrethrum extract with
soap whenever the pest first ap-
pears and keep the garden free of
all weeds on which plant lice ap-
pear.
The harlequin bug is one-fourth
of an inch long and is red?spotted
black. It usually does more dam
age in the South, but occasionally
works northward. The young may
be sprayed with a mixture of 1
tablespoons of pyrethrum extract
in 8 gallons of soapy water. The
full-grown bugs appear to be spray
proof and must be hand picked.
To combat the cabbage maggot,
place a square of tarred building
paper around the roots of each
plant before it is set out.

jury to sleet smothering the wood
the more logical explanation seems
to be that the frequent sharp
changes in temperature, from we'll
above freezing to close to zero, were
responsible. The winter Of 1942-43
seemed to have an unusual number
Of such extreme fluctuations. Many
roses were killed back to the ground,
including some Of the well estab-
ished climbers. .-I
In pruning the roses it is we'll to
remove only the dead wood. New
growth will appear (probably in evil
dence by now If there is any live
tissue above the bud joint. On a
few roses the bud joint and all
wood above 1t Is dead and the plants
will need to be replaced.

For sprays add teaspoon to each
quart Of. the diluted mixture. To-
bacco dust may be added to dust
ing materials.
The main consideration of all of
this is, OF course, the protection of
our plants. This protection depends
for its effectiveness upon having the
spray or dust material on the plants
before insect or disease spores ar
rive-afterward is too late. Com
plete coverage of the foliage and
fruit is all important In the spring,
when leaves and fruits are grow
ing rapidly and when showers are
frequent, weekly applications are
needed. During the heat of the
summer, when the rate of growth
is much less and when showers are
less frequent, application may be
at greater intervals two
weeks. When it is applied make
certain that the job is well and
thoroughly done in order to keep the
plants healthy and growing vigor-

Notes on Clubs
|. And Tournaments
Bv Frank B. Lord

AS the winter series of team-of-
four games in the Federal Bridge
League draws to close. the Sky
rocket foursome. which has main
tanned lead throughout the greater
part of the play, appears to have 4
margin which Is not likely to be
overcome during the remaining ses-
sions to be held this month. They
are well ahead of the Government
team and the Bees. who have been
their principal rivals. It is believed
that only an unusual and unex-
pected slump in their play can keep
them from winning the champion
ship.
The Aliencorn team, however, at
the meeting on Tuesday night took
a squirt that made them winners of
the evenings plsy in the first Sec
ton, but they are still 50 far behind
the Skyrockets that they are quite
unlikely to overtake them. They
won IA out of 81 boards. The north
and south high pair victory, not
withstanding, went to Messrs. Aus
tin and Darsay of the Jay Wees, who
had 1914 match points. Mr.. Powell
and Mr.. Deane of the Aliencorns
were high east and west, with 87h
points.
The contest is much closer in the
second section. There the first five
high teams are separated by a per-
centage difference of only .0O3. In
that division on Tuesday night the
4 Ms won IA out OF "a boards. r. C.
1vey and Maj. Whitney of the 4
Kings were high north and south
pair with 81 points and Mrs. C. w.
thinner and ]. D. Boyd, Specula-
tors, were high east and west with
901a points.
In the third section the Tyros,
who have trailed all the other teams
since the series began, had the dis
tinction of being top in their Sec
tion. They won IA out of 20 boards.
Mrs. Divine and Miss Pestell OF the
Scotties were high pair north and
south with 63 points and Mrs. E. A.
S1llin and S. j. Grossman of the
1yros were high east and west with
Sc points.
The following is the percentage
rating OF the various teams:

fully used. dusts are as effective as
sprays. For the home gardener with
a small plot Of ground and not
great deal of time to devote to
protecting the plants a duster is
recommended. It takes little time
to mix spray material before it may
be applied, and after the operation
the sprayer must be thoroughly
washed or it will corrode. This takes
time. On the other hand the duster
is quickly filled and does not need
emptying when not in use.
However. dust does not stick on
the foliage as well as spray (if
sticker is used) and for this reason
must be applied more often, espe-
cially during the periods of frequent
showers
Regardless of whether q duster or
a sprayer is purchased be certain
to obtain one that is easy to use.
The nozzle should be on an ex-
tension which permits it to be di-

While many many Of the Victory

plowed, those who used spade, or

the Job is unnecessarily tiring. The
opening for filling should be large
enough to make the task simple.
1t Is recommended that for the
small garden ready-mixed materials
be used. Most home gardeners are
not chemists and have no desire to
become so educated. For this reason
the purchase of already mixed ma
terials Is desirable. In most cases
they are Just as good as those which
are freshly mixed.
A number of the mixtures contain
materials for the control OF chew

plant diseases. These complete
mixtures are effective and well

News From Dogdom
Notes on a Variety of Subjects of Interest
in Washington and Vicinity
By r. X. Tnynfon

Dog show business In the WASH
ington- Baltimore bailiwick is de-
cidedly on the upgrade. Saturday,
April "a, is the date of the Arlington
County Kennel Club show, which,
strangely enough, is being held in
Baltimore County on the grounds Of
the Maryland Country Club at
Towson, Md. The next day the Bal
timore Country Club takes over the
same grounds and benching for its
annual fixture. The following week,
on May /, the Old Dominion Ken
mel Club puts on q show at the
Meadowbrook Saddle Club in Chevy
Chase, which is followed on Sunday
by the National Capital Kennel
Club show.
Both Virginia clubs lose their
Southern rating by staging their
shows on the Maryland side of the
river. But what they lose in points
they undoubtedly will gain in entries
and interest, because in the dog
show world q double-header always
draws more than single shows do.
Entries for the earlier shows must
be in the hands of the Foley. Greg,
2009 Ransted street, Philadelphia,
by noon tomorrow. Entries for the
May shows must be In by the fol-
lowing Monday.
Another best-in-show dog is now
q resident Of nearby Washington.
His name is Blue Dan OF Maple
Lawn-his breed Is English setter
his owners are Capt. and Mrs.
Glassen, formerly of Michigan. Blue
Dan Is now a champion but he
made his first best-in-show win be-
fore he attained the title, an unusual
honor.
The OPA has ruled that fat and
lean meat trimmings and bones may
be sold for pet food without need
of ration points. The next step is

because the park authorities have

doesn't have enough gasoline to go
to Baltimore to race there. He has
found that he can use much of his

meeting of the Collectors Club was
quite success. A goodly number of

interesting displays included per-
tume bottles, autographs, coins,
minerals and books.

dolls at the home of Mrs. William
Garrison. 1905 Crittenden street

dolls in her collection. The show
will be open to the public: no

The Dollology Club Study Group,
originally scheduled for Wednesday,
has been postponed. 1t will be held

Every puppy has its own cute
tricks. Those puppies brought up in
dlviduallv as house pets can gen.
orally develop a new one every few
hours. Kennel pups either do not
get as much chance to develop them
or else their owners, being too busy
and having too many puppies, do
not see them. However, this is one
observed recently in a kennel.
-Four pups of different ages were
being fed in one pen out Of one pan.
The Oldest pup stuck her nose in the
dish and defied the rest to get any.
The other three stood off and barked
for a while and then just stood off.
Suddenly, the youngest pup made a
lunge, grabbed the edge of the pan
in her teeth and hauled the whole
dish off into a corner where she
could defend it against all comers.
Distemper is still the scourge of
the kennel. In spite of anti
distemper serum. vaccine and virus,
there are probably more dogs lost
from distemper than ever before.
That does not mean that inocula-
ton Is ineffective. In over 80 per
cent OF cases it is effective. The
trouble is that not enough dogs are
inoculated. And direct exposure Is
not needed to give a we'll dog a case
of the dread disease. All he needs to
do to contract it Is to sniff where
q diseased Cog has been. The owner
OF well puppy can bring him a case
OF distemper on the soles Of his
shoes. There is no way Of really
avoiding exposure. The only means
OF combating 1t is to nullify the
effects Of exposure by incubation.
There were three kennels in the
area known as Camp Springs and
Meadows which was recently an
nexed by Uncle Sam for military
purposes. OF the three, one, C and
S gave up entirely. Another, Balo-
ran, Is now established near Forest
vile. Va. The third, Powkim. is re-
established near Oxon Hill. Md. It
Is interesting that the only one to
give up entirely was the only purely
commercial kennel of the three.
The other two are part-time enter
prises Of people interested In raising
dogs for show and In bettering their
breeds.
