This is because insecticides have
been applied during the bloom pc
Rod. Where one or two applica-
tions have been made prior to
bloom, subsequent applications
are generally unnecessary, partic-
ularly if the latest application was
made at the flower bud stage. In
many cases dusts were applied
when the population and damage
Of lygus bugs did not justify it.
Recent field investigations by
DR.. n. d. Tedford, associate ento-
mologist of the experiment sta
tion. and Orval Wixom, local bee
keeper, showed that when DOT
had been applied two weeks to a
month prior to bloom very few
lyrus bugs were observed and
practically no injury.
Recent work conducted in Utah,
California and elsewhere has in
dicated that honey bees or the
wild solitary bees are essential for
the pollination Of alfalfa and Glow
ers. Thus when dusts are applied
when these bees are visiting the
flowers many bees are killed and
are unable to successfully pollin-

Where DOT has not been applied

riod growers are advised to apply
dusts In late evening, night or

Pear blight has reached the
stage where fruit is now being af-
fected, w. A. Luce, associate ex-
tension agent, said today. Up to
this time only spurs and twigs or
larger limbs have been affected,
he said, but the recent rain and
spraying operations have caused
the blight to spread to the fruit in
some orchards. This may reach
proportions, Luce said, and a con-
siderable loss Of fruit may result
from this spread of the bacteria.
Certain precautions should be
taken according to Luce to pre-
vent the spread Of the blight from
twig to fruit or from fruit to fruit.
High pressure spraying either con-
ventional or. speed applications,
should be avoided. Serious fruit
infections have been found where
little or no blight appears in the
trees, following a speed sprayer
application for mites about 10
days ago.

+, are no good for making building
blocks, concrete engineers advise
use. And while we are discussing
concrete construction, there is the
question of how to make colored
concrete.
Finely ground pure mineral pig
ments applied properly may be
depended upon to produce a very
satisfactory colored mortar. The
amount of the mineral colors
should not exceed 10 per cent by
weight Of the cement used. Then
you must have each batch exactly
the same proportions or you will
not get the exact color uniformity.
According to statistics there is
beginning to be an increase in
farm mortgage debts. In the
states of South Dakota, Nebraska
and Iowa farmers are reducing
their debts at the rate Of from 10
to 122 per cent. For the rest of
the country there has been a little
more than 2 percent increase in
each state.
These facts led an Iowa country
editor to remark, Perhaps the
unhappy experiences of World
War / days paid us one dividend
after all. That is the lesson that
good times should be used to pay
off debts -. not to make new
ones" Many farmers could give
a little thought to this quotation.

said, and growers should take ev.
cry precaution to help hold down
the spread to a minimum.
Dusts rather than sprays for the
control of insects would be pref

the air should take the place OF
conventional or speed spraying.
It has come to my attention that
some farmers have started to use
beazene hexachloride in their gar
dens. These people will be inter
ested to know the experience Of q
potato grower in the valley last
year. He decided to kill his po-
tato plants with benzene hexa-
chloride before digging. Later
the potatoes from this field were
destroyed as unstable in Chicoga.
This chemical gives a musty odor
to root crops and makes them UNI
salable for human consumption.
All root crops are particularly
susceptible to picking up this Of
fesive flavor from the chemical.
Moral: Do not use on your garden!
There has been considerable in
terest in the use OF pumice and
cinders in the making Of concrete
blocks for building construction
in Benton county. Pumice blocks,
properly made, are satisfactory.

GIANT SYNAPTA.
Syndpta tenuis.
o., :iI. ~ AL
BY Lillian Cox Athey

Among curious animals to be seen
through the clear waters from Cape
Cod to North Carolina and Florida
where live the synapta, these
cousins of the sea cucumbers and
sea urchins are among the most
fascinating. Those found in the
very clear water on Andres Island In
the Bahamas are 18 inches long,
elsewhere much shorter. All reseim-i
bile beautiful seed-pearl necklaces
including dainty floral clasp which
happens to be the synapta's head.
The pliable creatures have a
wreath of II branching tentacles
around their mouths and the feath-
cry feelers are kept in almost cons
stant motion sweeping the minute
bits of food and sand into the round
mouth. On the long slender trans
parent body are tiny warts which
resemble seed pearls. These have
a tiny calcareous anchor on them.
BY means of these anchors and con-
fractions of the body the synapta
moves through mud and sand.
Another funny stunt OF theirs is
to collect rings of sand at their
mouth which they push downward
until the whole body is encased IN
a sand tube. Why this is done we
cannot say as we do not know of
enemies the little synapta would try
to escape from by dressing in sand.
When the synapta is empty it is
white and transparent. The di-
gestive canal is wound in spiral
throughout its length, when filled
with food, shells and sand it is very
dark and easily escapes your atten-
ton.
Another weird practice of theirs is
to snap off their posterior end by
muscular contractions. In confine-
ment they carry this to the point
where they are a mass of frag-
ments.
Synapta are viviparous; that is,
they carry their young in the body
cavity after they hatch from the
eggs. When they approach maturity
they are expelled.
The species in Florida is pur-
plish color with eight or ten
branches on each of the mouth ten
tacles and in this species, instead
of anchors on the wart there is
tiny wheel which answers the same
purpose. You are amazed at the
speed the synapta attains.

My Word for 1t
Ry Ernnk Cnlhx
BY Fronk Colby
English As She Is Spoke.

Many Milwaukee readers have
written about certain speech
peculiarities common to the region.
Numerous articles on the subject
have appeared in the Milwaukee
Journal. One letter TO the editor
asks, "Can it be that Wisconsin has
q language all its own?"
"A high school department head
reports hearing on a streetcar re-
Gently: why don't you hello me
when you know me so easy?",
A secretary states that construc-
tions such as these are common:
After the show We'll go home,
enna?" This afternoon we'll pick
some berries, amt SOP"
The use of "all" in the meaning
of "all gone out of stock, no longer
available" is often heard in Wiscon-
sin, as it is in parts of Pennsylvania.
"The pie is ALL" means that there
isn't any more pie. THE rain Is ALL"
means that it has stopped raining.
} ANY more" is commonly used in
the meaning of now, as: "She Is
staying by my house any more"
Or, THE dog is sick any more"
The hair of ones head is spoken
of in the plural, as: MY hairs are
dirty; they need washing. And look
how gray they are getting, aint?"
One hears: THE car needs
washed. The fence needs mended.
My floor needs polished"
Borrow me $40" means "lend me
$40" did you find back your ring?"
one will ask. The reply is likely to
be: That's for sure, and was ever
glad"
Such locutions are the result of
German influence, and are usually
translations into English of German
words and expressions. For instance,
"The money is all'' is literal trans
lation of "das Geld ist alle," for
"alle' means "all gone, all spent, at
an end, exhausted"
A similar state of affairs exists In
in the Rhode Island city of Woon-
socket, where French -Canadian-de-
scended people make up three-quar-
ters of the population.
Woonsocket speech is strongly fla.
vored with French. The city has
French newspapers, movies and
radio programs. Most retail clerks
are required to speak English and
French. According to the National
Geographic Magazine for August,
"Often French and English mix in
a hybrid tongue; at baseball game
an excited fan may yell, 'Frappe un
home run, Joe,' or Attends un base
on balls"
