ROTENONE TOP WEAPON

For gardeners who wish TO de
stroy the insect pests Of the gar
den, rotenone is number one wea-
pom, particularly now that the
supply is once again plentiful,
says Francis C. Stark, Jr., vege
table crops specialist Of the Uni
gersity of Maryland.
Rotenone will control cabbage
worms, flea beetles, cucumber
beetles, Mexican bean beetles,
squash borer, corn borer, aspara-
gus beetle, potato beetle, and plant
Ice. 1t can be used at any time
in the season, since it is practi-
cally non-poisonous to man.
CARE WITH DOT rs ADVISED
DOT is poisonous to man, much
like arsenate Of lead or calcium
arsenate, SO it should not be ap-
plied to the parts Of food crop
plants that are to be eaten. While
It can be used on potatoes TO con
trol leaf hoppers, on grapes and
some other plants to control Jap
anese beetle and rose chafer which
are hard to kill otherwise, it is
dangerous to use generally in the
garden. In itself it will injure
tomato plants, as well as some
Kinds Of squash, cucumbers, and
melons. It's biggest value is it,
long-lasting effect, for it kills in
sects that crawl over treated fol
age. This same long-lasting effect
makes it dangerous to humans.

el Advertising Manager) say that
he almost tainted in the heat of
Saturday, May %, when Company
F. 7th Bn., Maryland State Guard
was mustered out at Ellicott City,
reminded us of an amusing Incl
dent that occurred 100 years ago.
We learned this story from let
.er written by the late John T.
Graham, of Baltimore, to Mrs.
George Willard of Poolesville.
Through the Hopkins family, Mr..
Graham was related to Mrs. Will
ard, whose father was Dr.
Charles Tarr, a medical doctor
who owned the Denton Journal at
me time.
Writing at the height of World
War l, Mr.. Graham, who was then
"a, wrote of hoping to help "Ted-
1y" (Roosevelt) organize regi-
ment of troops-but feared the
surgeons could not pass him! You
remember it was later decided that
Teddy himself was too old"
Anyway writing about fighting
reminded the old man of this in
cident which happened during the
Mexican War, when he was a
boy. He writes thus: did you
know that your father was ever
a soldier? Well, let me tell you
about it. Every one had the war
spirit. In Easton there was an old
company called the "Easton
Guards" and new company
called the "Easton Cadets" Then
we boys raised company which
we called the "Easton Guards,
Jr.," of which your father CDR
Tarr) was lieutenant, / was a
corporal.
"The uniform of the old guards
was Of dark blue cloth trimmed
across the chest with silver lace
tall black hats with pompoms
The uniforms of the juniors were
made by our mothers - of blue
Jeans trimmed with white cottor
tape, tall hats made also by our
mothers, or old aunties like my
Aunt Mary Graham, who Away:
lived with us and spoiled us. The
hats were made of pasteboard, cui
with a little visor front, and were
i painted black by Aleck Fountain
'(God bless his memory!) a car.
riage painter who was then about
Of age and fond Of boys and ready
to help give them pleasure. He
painted an eagle on the front OF
the hats = and Oh, didn't we looh
fine with our blue jeans coats and
white pants and those hats!
"The Governor ordered all able
bodied men who belonged to com
panies, and those who. were sub
iect to draft, TO meet in Easton on
a hot August day. Our boy COM
pany had been drilled by the Of
ficers and men Of both the old
companies until we were "just the
I thing" We considered ourselves
a match for anyone. We had such
a good reputation that Gen
Tilghman, the Commander in :
Chief, asked US to join in the pa
rade and muster, which was held
just outside the town on a farm
We were in the grand drill and
as we were judged the second
best, we took second position 49,
which is rear guard - in the
march back into Easton.
Nov comes the funny part. The
day was terribly hot, the march
was a mile or so - we stood in
line in the hot sun until the order
came to "fall into line" then
came the drill which lasted for an
