where they have not reached the
peak of infestation.
1t is important to reduce the at
tractiveRess of the orchard to
beetles by the elimination of rOtt-
ing friut. This applies in a general
way to apples. but more particul-
arly to peaches which attract
large numbers of beetles when the
fruit is attacked by brown rot, con-
sequently this disease should be
kept under control by the use of a
fungicide, and the removal of old
rotten peaches from the trees and
ground.
Several different sprays are rec
commended for the control of Japa-
nese beetles, one of which is a
combination of hydrated lime and
aluminium sulfate which can be
used on early apples, late peaches,
late plums, cherries and small
fruits after harvest, grapes, shade
trees, shrubs and flowers. This
spray is nOn-pOisOnOus. but it
leaves a conspicuous residue which
is frequently objectionable and
must be removed from fruit before
it is marketed. The combination
of copper sulfate. hydrated lime
and arsenate of lead can also be
depended upon to prevent excess
sive injury to such varieties.
Derris powder. containing 4 per
cent rotenOne. is also a non-pOis-
onOus material and gives good
protection without leaving much
residue. Because of the shortage
of sprays or dusts containing rot
enOne, however, derris powder
may be very difficult to obtain,
and it can be used on peaches.
grapes and small fruits only. /
Apple trees which have been
thoroughly sprayed to control
cOdling moth are not usually in
jured by Japanese beetles.

Homemakers Urged
To Store Extra Eggs
tcontInued from FIrst pagel

Miss Louise r. Whitcomb, home
management specialist for the Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, suggests that this is another
way in which homemakers could
help to. conserve essential war
food. since the high nutritive value
of eggs makes it essential that
they be used efficiently as possible.
Miss Whitcomb also suggests that
bomemakers might well preserve
several dozen eggs for use later in
the year when supplies are, not
likely to be so plentiful.
The present egg situation has re-
suited from much higher produc-
tion than had been expected. The
War Food Administration agreed
early in the year to support egg
prices through a purchase pro-
gram. The purpose was to assure
adequate production by protecting
prices for producers.
