above mixture should be given to
them every two hours for the first
week or so. When the pups are three
weeks old, add some beef Juice to
their diet. Undiluted milk may also
be given them at this time. but I

you may give them lean hamburger

that a puppy should be fed at least

Nitrogen Can Block
Firing of Corn

Corn firing" is yellowing and
drying, generally Of the bottom
leaves of the plant. 1t usually
means lower yields because these
leaves manufacture plant food.
While dry soil sometimes is to
blame. shortage Of nitrogen is one
Of the main causes.
To insure good yields and prevent
nitrogen starvation:
Apply fertilizer or manure before
planting and supply the additional
nitrogen as side dressing when the
corn is knee high or somewhat later.
If no legume crop has been turned
under and no manure was applied
before planting, side-dress with so
to 80 pounds OF nitrogen 600 to 500
pounds of nitrate of Soda per acre.
If legume crop was turned, use
Is to 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
II 10 to Is tons per acre of manure
was put down ahead of the corn,
side dressing may not be needed.
Enough phosphorus and potash
also must be present to give corn
enough plant food for big yields.

Weeds keep growing at tremen-
dous rate and crab grass keeps pace.
Only frequent cultivation will keep
them under control. They compete
with vegetables and flowers for food,
air and moisture.
Many gardeners do not remove
the suckers that frequently form at
the base of sweet corn plants. These
growths do not produce ears, but
take food and moisture from the

al.

LAP Beetle Faces COunterattaCk
Control Measures Should Reduce Losses;
Protected Lawn Is Principal Remedy -~
By W. n. Younqmon


Several civic groups IN and
around the Washington area have
taken the lead in getting local res
idents to treat their lawns With
the milky spore disease Cat sub
stantial savings).
More general use is being made
Of DDT and some Of the newer in
secticides. They will help TO keep
trees and shrubs growing and vigor-
GUS. Certainly those whose foliage
has been devoured for one or two
years become so weakened that they
succumb to disease or winter injury.
Grape vines that lost their foliage
last season are making little growth
this summer. RaspbeYries, . favorite
food of the beetle, are so weak after
being defoliated that they cannot
Withstand our winters.
DDT was mentioned as one good
spray (dusD for the Jap beetle, but
there are others. Have = supply Of
one of them ready for the emer-
gence which normally begins about
mid-June.
Last summer - flock Of chickens
gobbled up poisoned beetles as they
fell from trees and sweetcofn. Even
though the beetles were dripping
wet with spray, and the chickens
ate quantities Of them, no injury
was apparent to the health or vi
tality of the flock. At least at this
writing. we may safely use DOT II
we follow the simple precautions
recommended.
Emulsifying Is Important.
DDT in an emulsifying oil solu-
ton is much more toxic to the in
sects than are the wettable powders.
However, it is important to get a
DDT solution that will readily mix
(emulsify) with water because few
home spray tanks are equipped with
an agitator. There are several So
lutions of DDT on the market which
emulsify easily.
Start spraying early. The beetles
do not all emerge at the same time
and we will need to protect gardens
all season long. That will mean
beginning our spraying operations
in mid to late June and continuing
until id-September. A good COW
erage with spray should last Tor
two to three weeks, oftentimes long
er because they are insoluble in
water. Dusts need to be replaced
after each shower.
The comments on spraying and
dusting made here are for DDT.
Few have as yet tested the new
corners to this field.
A Combination for Spreaders.
AS mentioned on this page some
weeks ago, one Arm is selling
combination of DDT, milky spore
disease and fertilizer This ma
terial may be spread on the lawn
with a lime or fertilizer spreader.
1t gives very good control and helps
the grass recover from the effects Of
the grubs feeding on the roots. The
DDT. while lasting a relatively.
short time, serves to kill many of
the beetles before the bacteria OF
the milky spore disease can be-
come distributed through the soil
With these various methods Of
controlling the Jap beetle, and with
more and more gardeners taking
advantage Of them, 1t would seem
safe to assume that the beetle is on
the decline in this area. II not, 1t
should be-and We can make it so.

Many dogs are already host to
their usual summer visitors, fleas
These parasites are one Of the chief
carriers of tape worm. A fiea feeds
on tape worm eggs-the dog swal-
lows the flea and thus the tape
worm enters the dogs system. The
average life of a flea is about two
months. A flea must feed on the
blood of an animal.
Derris root, . pine disinfectant
and rotenone may be used to xiii
fleas. Good results are also obtained
by any of the excellent preparations
on the market, many Of which have
one or more Of the aforementioned
as basic ingredients.
Never expose puppies under 10
days Of age to the direct rays Of the
sun for any great length of time. If
you put pen of young pups out-of-
doors in the SUN be sure and afford
them some shade. If you don't you
may find most of the litter suffering
from sunstroke when you 60 to
bring them indoors.
Here Is another suggestion sent in
by a reader to safeguard dogs that
are at large at night. Her dog wears
around his collar and above his neck
a number OF rejecting glass buttons.
When the headlights of an automo-
bile strike the dog, these glass but
tons reflect a red light, warning the
driver Of the presence Of the animal.
If you find 1t advisable to give
cows milk to very young puppies
shortly after birth. be sure to boil
the milk, dilute 1t with one part
warm water and add little sugar.
It is necessary that motherless pup
