Handsome Moth Plaques
Squash, Pumpkin Vines

Fitting about in many gardens,
often unnoticed, is handsome moth
that spells trouble later for vines
of squash and pumpkin. Wasp-like
in appearance, with shining fore
wings, transparent hind wings, and
markings of red, copper, and black
on the forepart of it's body, the
adult of the squash borer is laying
its eggs.
Late in July and August runners
on entire vines Of all kinds Of
squashes and pumpkins will wilt and
many of them will die later as a re-
suit Of injury, by the fleshy white
borers eating away the inside of
the stems. Plants not killed are
stunted and their yield is reduced.
Prevention is the best cure. Most
Of the injury can be prevented by
spraying Or busting to kill the eggs,
or the eggs of the young borers,
before they get inside the stems.
Careful timing and thorough appli-
cation are the secret of success.
Rotenone dusts and sprays are eff
fective against squash borer and
against the striped and spotted CT
susnbsg beetles that also attack
squash sna pumpkins.

Demonstration Shows
How Ewes Judge Size

An interesting demonstration of
how the eye judges size and distance
can be made by standing before a
large mirror, with arm extended and
index finger upturned, says the Bet
ter Vision institute. If you watch
your finger closely as you move it
towards and from you, looking at the
same time out of the corner of your
eye at the reflection of your body
in the mirror, you will be surprised
to find that as your finger approaches
your face, your body will appear to
move back, and as your finger re-
cedes, your body will move forward.
The explanation for this interest
ing experiment, says the Institute,
is that when your finger comes near,
the retinal image in the eye en-
larges. But with your attention con-
centrated on the finger, which is
familiar to you and whose size you
know, by contrast the image Of
the whole body becomes smaller.
This makes it appear that the body
is shrinking in size. Since expert
ence has always demonstrated that
diminishing size of the visual image
of an object means increasing dis
lance, your body momentarily
seems to be receding into the look
ing-glass. When the finger is moved
away from the face, the process is
reversed.

outdoors, use the trapper type of
fire. Never start cooking until the

*ROast Corn.

Use fresh sweet corn. Remove
corn silk but leave husks on. Dip
the ear, husk and all into a pail Of
water and lay on CRATE over a
hot bed Of Goals. The water turns
into steam within the husk coating
and thus cooks the corn, making it
steamy and juicy instead of dry and
tasteless. Corn may also be roasted
by burying in the ashes.
