Entomologist Lists
Control Methods
For Cattle Grubs
Ry fhs Asseeiofsd Press

BLACKSBURG, Va.-This is
the season to take steps for con-
troll of cattle grubs. which cost
Virginia dairymen and beef cattle
producers thousands of dollars
every year.
Entomologist ]. O. Rowell of the
Virginia Extension staff here said
grub control treatments can be
given cattle at a cost of not more
than 2 cents per animal,
This, he added, is negligible
compared to the repayment In
increased milk and meat produc-
ton and better prices for hides.
The cattle grub is a stage in
the life cycle Of the heel fly, or
warble fly. The cycle goes like
this:
The flies lay their eggs on cat
tie. Tiny maggots hatch in three
or four days, burrow into the
skin and work their way into the
abdominal and chest cavities.
Months later, they localize under
the skin Of the back. There, they
progress into the grub stage of
their cycle. Cysts, or bumps, form
around the grubs.
Appearance Dates Vary.
The date of the first appearance
in Virginia of grubs on the backs
of cattle may vary from about No
vember Is to February, depending
on the section of the State.
There are three available meth
odS of control-Wash, dust and
spray. Regardless of which meth
cd is used, Mr.. Rowell said. the
first treatment should come about
80 days after the first bumps ap-
pear on the animals backs and
two more treatments should follow
at 30-day intervals.
All three methods involve use Of
mixtures with a base of derris
powder containing S per cent
rotenone. Detailed instructions
for preparing and applying wash,
dust or spray mixtures can be OBJ
tained from county agents or by
writing Mr.. Rowell, care of the
Extension Service, Blacksburg.

Vegetablesfor the Home Garden
Non-C Commercial Varieties Usually Give
Yields of Higher Quality, Rich in Flavor
By W. n. Younamon

Seed catalogues containing long
lists of vegetable varieties. each
slowingly described, confuse the
beginning gardener. Most OF us
want to buy good home garden
varieties, but they are difficult to
pick out of the usual seed cata-
logue, which seldom distinguishes
between those of major impor-
tance to the commercial grower
and those adapted to backyard
gardens. There are several points
of difference between these two
types and it will pay to watch
for them.
Commercial varieties ordinarily
have sufficient substance or a
tough enough skin to Withstand
handling and shipping. This is
seldom desirable in the home gar
den because of their fiber con-
tent. The shipping varieties
normally mature over q compare
lively short period. The gardener
wishes his crops to mature over
a long period so that he will not
need to make numerous planting
to have ample supplies through
out the season.
Commercial varieties DO not
disregard flavor, but it is second
ary to shipping ability. The home
gardener is primarily interested
in good flavor. Size is anotner
factor with the commercial
grower. The home gardener is
not interested in extreme size:
preferring to harvest crops OF
sized fruits and vege-
tables.
There is something to be gained
from gardening other than the
exercise in the fresh air. Much
of that something comes from
growing the best of the vegetable
varieties. The kinds. at Least
that give the best results IN 1he
Washington area.

cult. You just can't turn your
dog out into the street by him
self for exercise. Besides the
danger of being hit by passing
autos, most cities have laws max
ing it necessary to muzzle or keep
your dog on q leash, or both. But
regardless, a city dog needs these
outings as do country or SUBJ
urban dogs.
In spite of high food prices our
dogs are being well fed. Here is
q suggestion would again like tc
bring to your attention: Save the

you cook. Save 1t for your dog
Water in which vegetables have
been boiled Is rich in salts and

be very beneficial to your pet. It
is perfectly all right to mix water
from different vegetables.
Is 1t necessary to secure a
license Of any kind If my dog Is
going to have puppies?
y. M. r.
Not that know of, but after
the pups get to be six months old
(in some States it's at an earlier
age) they will have to have in
dividual licenses.

lacking. The red spider thrives In
such situations and the azaleas
suffer accordingly. On the other
hand, .azaleas will thrive in we'll
prepared soil in full sun. but we
ordinarily may expect a hot spell
lust about the time they are In
full bloom, which cuts their flow
ering period short. Light shade Is
the ideal situation for them.
It is well to check over the bulbs
stored in the basement to note II
they are beginning to shrivel be-
cause of dryness. II they appear
too dry. apply water sparingly.
for overwatering can be just as
injurious as not enough. Keep
the bulbs cool 50 as to avoid
sprouting before planting time.
A certain amount of lime Is
beneficial to the growth Of most
kinds of plants. Too much can
be injurious to plants and soil.
Therefore 1t Is desirable to use
care in the quantity and placing
of lime. Ground limestone Is
slow acting and will not burn.
Hydrated lime Is quick acting and
should not be used on living
plants. Acid soil-loving plants,
such as azaleaS. evergreens, ETC.,
do not need or want lime.
Excess lime burns up the humus
content Of soils. and while we may
have to add 1t to neutralize the
soil acidity, we should be careful
not to add more than is necessary.
and then preferably only the
slower acting ground limestone.
March winds are usually the
most injurious to woody plants,
especially roses and evergreens.
It is not too late to protect them
with pine boughs or burlap
screens.
Wisteria may be pruned any
time before the buds begin to
swell. Cut the branches back to
two or three buds II necessary.

Spottie, a little fox terrier,
was out walking with his master.
They passed the edge Of q small
pond and were startled by the
frantic barking of collie puppy
that had ventured out on the thin
ice and fallen through. A man
and a boy were trying to rescue
the animal but the ice was too
thin to allow them to approach
the spot where the dog was strug-
Cling. Every time the seemingly
doomed dog would get his front
paws up on the thin ice 1t would
give away, plunging him back into
the cold water.
Spottie had never seen the pup
before but without hesitation he
ran out on the ice and slowly
edged his way toward the stricken
dog. After many attempts he
finally arrived close enough to
grasp the collie's collar and help
him up onto the solid ice. Turn
ing quickly, as If he sensed the
ice would not hold their combined
weight, he raced to shore, followed
by the grateful collie.
A silly theory about dogs Is
that their teeth remain in perfect
condition without any care on
your part. They do nothing Of
the kind. Your dog has AZ teeth
Gas against your own 32) and as
a rule they remain in pretty good
condition. but not always. Mango
and other diseases may cause a
few Of them to fall out. Tartar
Is sometimes likely to form on
them. A dog reaching middle age
has q tendency now and then
(like middle e-aged humans) to get
pyorrhea.
Once a year have q good reliable
veterinarian look over your dogs
teeth. Don't try so-called home
treatments" on them. "See your
dentist twice a year" Is q rule
which can be modified to "onte q
year" for your dog.
A survey was recently made. re-
garding the intelligence OF the
dog. Extensive tests were given
a group Of dogs at a well-known
university.
They used a device called q
psychogalvinometer. After the
tests were over they said the aver
age dog had as much sense as
12-year-old child.
Sometimes I think dogs show
more common sense than most
human beings of any age. A dog
don't eat when he is not hungry
and he will relax and rest when
he has nothing to do. And above
all, he profits by his experiences
he doesn't very often do some
thing q second time that got him
into serious trouble the first time
he did 1t.
II your home has back yard
or If you live in the country or
suburbs the problem Of house
breaking your dog is fairly simple.
Let him out into a yard or en-
closure or wherever he will be safe
from cars. You should do this
the first thing in the morning and
the last thing at night and always
lust after his meals; several other
times, If possible. during the day.

1t is not too early to start few
tomato plants if you are one OF
those who want to have the first
ripe fruit in the neighborhood. 1t
only takes 6 to 8 weeks to produce
plants to transplanting size. But,
if you want to have a few plants
in six-inch pots and in bloom by
the time it is warm enough to
set them out in the garden you
should add another 4 weeks. And,
Of course, you should have a place
In which to handle potted plants,
so as to keep them growing
strongly.
One way to accomplish this is
to prepare a good soil mixture
and fill a half dozen 4. 5 or 6 inch
pots. Then place four or five to-
mato seeds in each pot. AS soon
as the plants are well established
remove all but the strongest one.
This saves transplanting and
avoids checking the growth Incl
dent to such an operation.
Several steps in indoor garden
ing are desirable II not already
taken. The first is to place orders
for seeds, bulbs, plants. and gar
den supplies for early delivery.
This task can be put of until
later on, but it Is safer II the Or
der is made now. Sometimes de-
sirable varieties are sold out and
substitutes are not always what
is wanted. Secondly. get the tools
In shape-this may mean only
sharpening. II repairs are needed
1t Is best to have that done while
there Is still time to do the Job
well.
Azaleas, rhododendrons, mag
nolias, birch. sweet gum and q
number of other shrubs and trees
should only be transplanted in the
spring. If you intend to plant any
Of these this year be sure and get
your order in now.
While aZaleas are commonly
mentioned as being shade loving.
it is a mistake to plant them In a
situation where air circulation is
