tories. Those that emerge from
the soil have been delayed but a
few days.
Cankerworms are beginning to

deciduous trees-elm, apple, ma
pie. sycamore, linden. Spray at
once with arsenate of lead or
DDT. In some areas tent cater
pillars are appearing in abun-
dance. an upsurge in their seven-
year cycle. These pests prefer
apple. wild cherry, plum. haw-
thorne and some deciduous trees.
An arSenate OF lead spray Will
give good control.
Juniper webworms have begun
feeding. This calls for applica-
ton of either arsenate of lead
or DDT. If DDT is used, add a
miticide to prevent subsequent
red spider buildup. BY the end
of May, a DDT spray should be
used to control juniper scale.
Boxwood leaf miner adults will
soon be flying. A DDT spray is
recommended. Within a few
weeks holly leafs miners will be
out. Use either DDT or lindane
for control.
Lace bugs that attack andro-

before the end of May, sucking
sap from the leaves. It's the

By W. y. Younomon
Garden Editor

Advertisements and popular
literature have called attention
to various water-soluble and
liquid fertilizers of high plant
nutrient content that can be
used in solution form. Con-
venience Of handling and high
efficiency are among the advan-
tages claimed for these fertil-
izers. Absorption of nu-
trients directly by the leaves and
other above-ground parts Of
plants is sometimes also men,
toned as an advantage for fer
tilizers applied in the form Of
solutions"
This is the opening paragraph
Of a statement prepared by the
specialists Of the Department Of
Agriculture in answer to many
inquiries about plant foods that
will make plants Jump out of
the ground.
Feeding plants through the
foliage has been tested In many
parts Of the country. The Uni
versity of Maryland has con-
Quoted considerable research on
this subject.
Most of the research indicates
that there is little advantage to
applying fertilizer to the foliage
over applying an equal quantity
through the soil.
Works on Some Plants.
Special forms of nitrogen
when applied to the leaves, are
taken up by many Of plants, but
not all kinds. Those that can
and do take nitrogen through
the leaves usually make the
greatest gains in the early spring
when nitrate nitrogen is least
available in the soil. This means
that the proper forms of nitro
gen applied to the foliage in the
early spring do produce worth
while results on many kinds OF
plants.

Look for Locusts
From Nav IS On

The entomologistS report that
the 17-year locust Is due to ap-
pear again this season. 1t is the
big brood that is more than likely
to make itself heard" Spraying
is not likely to do a great deal of
good. but if the home gardener
wishes, there is a mixture avail
able that was fairly effective in
1861 combination of rotenone,
pyrethum, pine oils. etc. The
control program requires an ap-
plication one week after the first
singing is heard, probably about
May Is, and at weekly intervals
until the end of June. The IT.
year locusts prefer oak trees and
as a rule are not especially
troublesome to shrubbery. Small
fruit trees should be covered with
cheesecloth rather than sprayed.

FoIior FEEDING
Research and Experiment Indicate Thot
Not All Elements Moy Be Supplied This Way

phosphate are quite variable.
Some show advantages, others do
not. Because of it's status in re-
search. it would seem wiser to
continue to apply phosphate
through the soil.
The minor elements are usual
ly successfully fed to plants
through the leaves, probably be-
cause the plants need only tiny
quantities. Boron and magnesi-
um are regularly applied to
melons by Eastern Shore grow
ers. who add them to the nor
NAL pesticide sprays-doing both
jobs in one operation. In this
case, the use of these two minor
elements increases the sugar
content of the melons by a SUBJ
stantial per cent.
Iron Deficiency Corrected.
Rose and azalea growers have
known for long time that they
could counteract chlorisis (yel-
lowing of the leaves) by spraying
the foliage with sulphate of iron
(Copperas) or citrate of iron,
when the chlorisis was caused
by a deficiency of iron.
Citrus trees frequently lack
zinc and this may most easily
be supplied through the foliage
feeding. But this material is sup
piled to the trees along with a
regular pesticide.
Not all materials may be ap-
piled to the leaves without in
jury. The costs of materials for
foliar feeding are usually much
higher than those used for feed
ing through the soil. This would
imply that for economical plant
feeding, we should still rely on
ordinary fertilizer mixtures. This
is the thinking of most of the
specialists. Notwithstanding the
claims appearing in current lit
erature.
Where the gardener wishes to
try foliar feeding and he might
we'll do so on an experimental
baSis-he should follow the pre-
scribed dilution carefully. Plants
vary widely in the amount OF
material that safely can be ap-
piled to the foliage. However.
most kinds commonly grown in
local gardens can use concen-
trations of 0.5 to or per cent.
But this must be forms suitable
for foliar feelings. Urea Is con-
Sidered the best form for spray
ing. Nitrate of soda or sulphate
Of ammonia would probably burn
the foliage.
/ Use Same Sprayer.
The spraying of a fertilizer
solution on the foliage does not
require special equipment. The
sprayer used for applications of
pesticides to roses will work
equally we'll for foliar feeding.
Foliar sprays should be applied
on a clear day when rain is not
expected for "a hours or longer.
Morning or evening applications
are generally considered prefer
able to making them in the heat
Of the day. The solution does
not dry as rapidly and the leaves
have longer to absorb the liquid.
Applications once a week could
be made, although once every
two or three weeks is likely to
be adequate.
There probably are a half doz-
en- brands of fertilizers rnanufac-
tured especially for this purpose
on the market-products put out
by reputable manufacturers.
The home gardener can, If the
urea is available, make up his
own foliar sprays material, but
the use of urea is restricted. The
manufacturers import 1t in order
to comply with the regulations.
Ammonium phosphate is also
suitable for foliar feeding and is
available through special hand

More glamour, more comfort,
more performance are in store in
the new 1854 DeSoto Automatic,
which went on display today at
Maryland Motors, DeSoto Ply
mouth, dealer, Rockville.
Leading the list of notable i'm
provements in the new DeSoto is
PowerFlite = the finest fully auto
matte transmission ever offered
the motoring public.
In combination with such pre-
vious DeSoto Announcements as
Full-Time Power Steering and
Power Brakes, the 1854 DeSoto
with PowerFlite is an Automatic"
automobile reaching new peaks in
style, comfort and performance.
"Road Hugging Look"
In the styling category, clean
smooth-fowing body lines blend
to produce a longer, wider car
with a low, road-hugging look. A
forward-motion styling theme
dominates the exterior appearance
of the new DeSoto from sparkling
new Floating" grille and smooth
ly-contoured new bumper to dis
tinctive new tail-light clusters.
Interior styling of the 1854 De-
Soto is completely new. Interior
colors are keyed to exterior finishes
and new instrument panels and
garnish mouldings are blended
with overall color schemes.
New upholstery fabrics are
offered in variety of colors these
fabrics are, for the most part,
nylon-faced for the utmost in dur
ability and smartness. Vinyl is
used where soilage and scuffing
are most likely to occur.

No Tire Squeal

No Tire Squeal
An important contribution to the
new DeSoto's riding comfort is
No-Sway Ride Control suspension,
minimizing body clean" and ELI
minating tire squeal on turns,
while providing control and all
around stability. A sitter frame,
redesigned front and rear body
hountings and new rear spring
mountings are also contributing
factors to this new controlled ride.
DeSoto's new PowerFlite trans
mission is an outstanding perform
ance advancement. The culmina-
ton of years of research and de-
velopment work with automatic
transmissions, PowerFlite is an
unmatched combination of power,
smoothness and control.
Smoothness of operation is in
herent in the design of DeSoto's
PowerFlite transmission. From the
time the engine is started and the
selector lever moved to Drive"
the driver does not have to move
his foot from the accelerator I'M
less he wants to slow down. There
is only one fully-automatic shift
from starting gear to direct drive.
Dependent on the drivers wish,
this automatic shift takes place
