So many questions have been
raised regarding the use of DOT
that we're again going to give the
information to you as it comes
from the State College entomolo-
gist. DOT should not be consider
ed as cure-all for everything.
In fact, on some insects it has no
effect whatever. A news bulletin
on the uses and limitations of DOT
has been issued and is available at
the County Agents Office.
How to use DOT for household
and animal pests will be described
in this weeks column. Next week
a discussion on DOT for control
of vegetable crop insects will be
given. 80 ~ 49,,
Flies and Mosquitoes in House
a and Barn
Spray the walls, ceilings and the
resting places of the flies with a
five per cent concentration of DOT
emulsion, using a coarse or a wet
spray SO as much of the material
as possible will remain on the sur
face treated. Use 4 pounds of so
per cent DOT wettable powder to
100 gallons of water in barns or
other buildings where the white
DOT deposit is not Objectionable.

spray the screens with the wet
table powder under suspension.
Additional applications should be
made when the first treatment
loses its effectiveness. For further
information, see your county ex-
tension agent. !
FleaS Il
A 10 per cent DOT dust may be
applied to sleeping places of dogs
and cats and beneath rugs on the
floors and in Easements. A five
per cent DOT deodorized kerosene
spray may also be used in similar
places as well as to the top surface
of rugs. Do not use DOT oil or
kerosene solutions on animals.
Dusts containing 10 per cent DOT
may be used on dogs. Do not use
DOT in any form on cats because,
in licking themselves, they might
consume sufficient DOT to cause
injury or poisoning. 80
Human Lice

10 per cent DOT powder. A second

kitchen and bathroom, to both
sides of pantry shelves, and to any
cracks or crevices leading to out
side of building. Some species OF
ants are not affected by DOT.
Bedbugs
DeodoriZed kerosene spray con-
tanning five per cent DOT, should
be applied to mattresses, pillows,
springs and bed frames. Spraying
along baseboards near the bed will
aid in control. A five or ten per
cent dust will also be effective.
Carpet Beetle
Use either kerosene spray con-
tanning five per cent DOT or a
dust containing S to 10 per cent
DOT. Spray garments or rugs to
be protected, thoroughly. The in
terror of upholstered furniture

Prosser Farm F Family Suggests Ia,
For Helping Feed Starving MjlE,..'

An interesting and possibly ef-
fective observation. on the ques-
ton of food production comes
from Mrs. j. c. Morton, who lives
on a small farm near Prosser.
The letter was addressed to the
AAA office here and follows
"The fore part of April I re-
ceived statement from your Of
fee in regard to feed and food for
the flocks of the farm.

believed that anything that can be

giving aid may not always be the
most effective. It is thought that
food collection of perishable pro-
ducts-and all food is perishable--
is not practical. It is believed that
more wastage will result. AS one
recognizing the problem, your
county agent cannot feel justified
in carrying forth a program which
will result in inefficiency, wastage
of food and effort.

LONDON, Aug. 13-WI-H. G.

FALSE TEMPLE - Home, the

heart is. But where is it, folks, if
you've got your heart in the
wrong place?
This is the question which be-

long time we have believed that
the James Book store on Chestnut
street between Front and Second
streets is the site of the Whining
ton Morning Stars first home.
Putting the old saying into prac-
tice, we have enshrined that site
in Jul heart.
1t is small wonder, therefore,
that we vince and cry aluod this
morning upon learning that the
shrine we have worshipped for
SO long is, in reality, a false
temple.

State officials had failed to map

Cherry said, in response to

possible" and that if there was
into shape for the coming winter,
it was due to lack Of machinery
