YOUR VICTORY GARDEN - Dusting And Spraying Are Both Effective Against Corn Borer
YOUR VICTORY GARDEN

ing of the eggs must be made. Look on the underside of the leaves of the young plants for the small white masses of overlapping eggs. After eggs are found, examine them daily. Dark spots will soon appear, and the tiny borers will hatch from them. An indication of the presence of young borers is the appearance of small holes or small, irregularly eaten areas on the leaves. When newly-hatched borers are found. it is time to start the first treatment. Four applications of the dust should be made at 5-day intervals. The parts of the plant affected by the borers should be thoroughly covered with the dust so as to leave a noticeable deposit. Be sure to dust the developing ears liber- ally. This dust is poisonous to humans, and there is no danger from its use.

American Protestants will be call ed upon by their churches to give S2,670, 900 for their united overseas relief and reconstruction projects during l044-46, according to an a1- nouncement issued today by Leslie Bates Moss, Executive Director of the Church Committee on Overseas Relief and Reconstruction This rep- resents an incre' of about 50 per cent over the amount given for the same type of program last year.
 The ministry made available through this fund will include: pro- viding Bibles and religious litera- ture to prisoners of war, civilians in liberated areas and assisting Bible societies of these lands (s300, ,000) {; nutrition and health work among children (Sl00,000); ministry to homeless and displaced persons-in internment camps and in such ref- ueee centers as Geneva, Lisbon and Shanghai, and theological scholar ships for German refugees in Eng land ($275 ,000) special aid through churches and church institutions of the areas in need to re-establish normal and spiritually sound con1- munity life ($600O0O); help to "or- phaned' missions whose mother churches on the continent can no longer aid them ($325, ,000); relief in Asia, China, India, Burma, Malaya, Thailand, Netherland Indies, Phil ippines ($700, ,000); spiritual, recrea- tional, educational and occupational service and materials for prisoners of war ($240,000); special services to women and girls in war areas ($75,000); re-establishing student Christian movements (s30,00o). A token gift of $25,000 is indicated as 8 demonstration of brotherhood and fellowship with the Jews". A contingent fund of $l00,000 will be set up to meet new needs as they arise. This program presumes that physical relief in liberated areas will be in the hands of UNRRA.
 Much of the work in Europe will clear through the World Council of Churches with headquarters at Geneva, Switzerland. Messages re- ceived from this body indicate the European churches welcome this united Protestant approach and specify ways in which available funds can be used most advanta- geously to hely re-establish church programs.
 The newly constituted Church Committee for Relief in Asia" will be largely responsible for work in that area, where famine and flood have added to the devastation of war. Other agencies which will con- tinue to administer the relief pro- grams supported by the churches are:

European born borer moths fly at night and deposit eggs on the underside of the corn leaves. These hatch into tiny borers which take their first meal by eating small holes in the leaves Shortly after this they crawl to the central stalk into which they burrow and become borers in the true sense of the word. The corn borer can be fairly we'll controlled in small gardens by the application of in secticideS. However, regardless of which insecticides are used, proper timing and thoroughness of the applications are very important.
 Entomologists are continuously hunting methods of controlling the European corn borer through a method of apply ing dust or spray. Dr. T. H. Parks, entomologist, Ohio State University, reports that the l943 tests with rotenone sulfur, and nicotine tale dustS, reduced borer infestation considerably, but did not give complete control of the insect. Experiments conducted by Dr. Parks seem to indicate that spraying is more effective than dusting.
 Dusts used were rotenone com- bined with sulfur and another which was combination of nico- tine sulfate and tale. The first applications of dust were made five days after the first corn borer eggs were laid on the plants and the first day after the eggs began matching. Tn one experiment, corn which was not treated with insec- ticides. had borers in 70 per cent of the stalks and there were an average of 63 borers per stalk The two treated plots had borers in 40 per cent of the stalks, and the number of borers per stalk was 3.S for plants receiving rote- none and 2.5 for those receiving nicotine.
 The best spray contained ground derris root. which is rotenone carrier and a spreading agent mixed in water. This spray reduced infeStation from 40 borers per plant to an average of 2.7 per plant.
 Rotenone dust is the cheapest and easiest insecticide to use. The dudst can be obtained readyd mixed from almost any garden supply shop. Careful and timely observa- tions on the occurrence and htach-

$3lS,567 Contributed to World Service Fund in
 Past Fiscal Year

Chicago, June 23-Spurred by requests from Bishop Francis J. Mcconnell for increased funds to support world wide missionary and educational work during the war emergency, MethodistS of the New York Area metropolitan New York, eastern New York state, Vermont, southwestern Connecticut and northern New Jersey contributed $318,587 to the denominatoin' s World serivce fund during the fis- cal year which ended May 3l
 The total represented a gain of $38,774, or l3.9 per cent, over last year, reported the Rev. Dr. o. w. Auman, treasurer of the Methodist General Commission on World Service and Finance.
 The nearly 8,000,o0o Methodists of the nation gave $5,439,206 to the World Service fund during the year just closed, an increase of s600,609, or l2.4 per cent, over l943. This gain made possible the goal of 25 per cent increase in regu- lar missionary giving over 1942, be- fore war emergencies arose.
 In addition to World Service contributions, Methodists also have given $1,518, 480 during the past two years for strictly war emergency work, including food for starving refugees in war-torn countries, of which $637,536 was received during the 1914 Week of Dedication last March
 All four of the Annual Confer ences of the New York Area showed gains in World Service giving for the year, reported by conference treasurers as follows: New York Conference, Rev. Lee H. Ball, Lake Mahopac, N. Y.-$3,180; New York East Conference, Rev. w. F. Davis Jr.. Lake Ronkonkoma, N. Y.-$6,- 623; Newark Conference, Howard w. Rogers, Roselle, N.

Millions of American workers
are investing at least ten per cent
of their earnings in war bonds,

of hidde and visible taxes. All Of

Colored Americans are paying

done, often, in the case of the
Negroes, against tremendous bar
riers and handicaps imposed by
the color caste system in indus

How any man can live in this

In fact the laziness and waste

The facts are that many poor

Roger BabsOn's Advice

Last week in wspaper
throughout t he country, the
eminent statistician and business
expert, Roger Babson, relieved
himself of what he termed good

He told them to stop wasting
their war wages, to save against
the inevitable rainy day when the
war is over and they will be the
first to be fir e d, to be more
sober and industrious and
he was telling the Negroes right.
We have been saying the same
thing long before Roger Babson
thought Of it.
But the eminent statistician,
without recourse to statistics
went further and made himself
very vulnerable and offensive
with invidious comparisons be-
tween .colored and white workers,
and thus passed in review all the
old c-anards about Negroes.

NATIONAL UBBAN LEAGUE RELEASES
STATISTICS ON NEGRO WAR WORKERS

The National Urban League
has just issued a summary re-
port of the Industrial Relations
Laboratory on the performance
of Negro workers in 800 war
plants in 25 states and I2O To-
calities. Here are some of the
facts revealed.
At least 100000 Negro work
ers are currently engaged in war
production and other essential
war employment. Additional Ne
gro workers are anticipated in
areas of severe labor shortages.
The employment of Negro wo-
men has not kept pace with the
employment of white women or
Negro men. Negroes worked in
skilled occupations in 1874 of the
800 plants; as semi-skilled work
ers in 247, and unskilled workers

tanned by those who were inter
ested in the ritual and philosophy
of Masonry. So it has been to
this day that Royal Arch Masonry
has been sought for by Masonic
students, the ritualist and to all
who were interested in its beau
ty. There is something in Royal
Arch Masonry which will appeal
to your interest and will grow
in your estimation the longer
you study it and work with it.
1t is a series of Masonic degrees
built upon the degrees of the
lodge and calculate to serve as a
cupstone to your Masonic know
ledge. The first three degrees
are preparatory for the spiritual
enlightenment of the Royal Arch,
known to Masons as the quintes-
sence of beauty and the char
acter of its ancient traditions.
So if your Masonic knowledge
does not include Royal Arch Ma
sonry, it is not complete. There
is something lacking which must
be attained to make your Ma
sonic life full and complete.
If you are not a Royal Arch
Mason, why not enroll your name
now, and prove to yourself that
it is the finishing school of Ma
sonry.

in all 300.
Officials in 215 of the 800
plants said they were satisfied
with the work of their Negro
employees. In nine plants, man
agement said they were not as
good as white workers, and in SO
plants Negroe workers were de-
scribed as fairly satisfactory.
In 253 of the 300 plants the
management declared that on the
basis of current experience with
Negro labor, they would continue
to employ them after the war.
Twelve plants reported no deci-
sion, and the remaining 35 de-
clined to make commitment.
Only Fl plants of the 800 re-
ported friction between workers
as a result of the employment of
Negroes.
