Nemutodes Controlled

Liquid soil fumigants applied

garden.
S. B. Femme, plant pathologist
at VPI, says the home gardener
can buy the. fumigant in one
quart to five-gallon containers.
Here are directions for use of
the fumigant:
First pillow or spade and rake
the soil to seed-bed filth. Break
up clods and remove trash. Soil
temperature should not be lower
than so degrees and not higher
than 80 degrees when applica-

deep. A fruit jar with two nail
holes punched in opposite sides
of the metal cap makes a suitable
applicator. Fill with the fumigant
and recap the jar. Walk along

by linking the negatively

The result is that properly
prepared soil stands up under
weather and tillage all season
or even longer without losing
its loose, porous structure. Water
infiltrates to the soil around
crop roots instead of running off
the surface and carrying the
soil along.

in the bottom Of the furrow. One
pint should treat from $50 to
ITS linear feet of furrow. It may
be advisable to test first with
water to see how fast to walk.
After application to every 100
feet, stop and rake over and
cover the furrow. It's good idea
to pack the soil lightly after
covering the burrows to help seal
the gas in the soil.
Wait at least two weeks before
planting anything in the treated
soil since the fumigant is toxic
to plants and terminating seeds
If the temperature during the
two-week waiting period is low
(below so degreeS) or if there
has been a|lot of rain, increase
the time lapse to three weeks.
Plant seed and follow your
usual practices in caring for your
garden or flower beds. If you have
treated with fumigant as di-
rected, you can be sure that
whatever else may happen you
will not be bothered with nema-

Fieht-Seeking Dog
Called Real Pest.
Cor-Chosing Cure
By Peter Boggs

Is your dog a formidable
fighter and would he rather pick
a fight than eat? If so he is a
menace and a pest. He is moth
ing to be proud of.
I am not speaking of the
gently brave dog which can take
his own part if he is attacked or
in his masters defense. That is
a splendid type of chum. But
the dog that goes around picking
fights for the fun of it, or whose
owner encourages him to fight,
has no rightful place anywhere.
True courage, either in boy
or in dog. does not consist in
looking for tfouble. The real
hero is not a bully. He does not
pick fights with weaker or more
peaceful creatures.
One of my correspondents
writes: 1--WE used to sit on the
porch of our Honolulu house. Our
dog. Sammy, would chase every
automobile down to the corner,
then come back to wait for the
next. Immediately we tied him
up, and kept him tied for an
hour. The next time he chased
a car after he was united, we
did the same thing again.
II forget how long it took to
cure him of car-chaSing and
making him understand there
always was that penalty to pay.
But my impression is that we had
to tie him only about four times,
before he got the idea"
If you own pup Of breed
whose ears are supposed to stand
erect, never tamper with his ears
in any way before and during
the pups teething period. Don't
try to correct his stance no mat
ter how disreputable it may be.
Many a dogs otherwise fine car
riage has been ruined for life
by such ear tampering.
Until your pup is at least seven
months old don't do anything to
try to improve his ear carriage.
By seven months, as a rule, the
teething is over and you will find
that the ear carriage is back to
normal.

Eggplant Sensitive

Eggplant should be set out
about 10 days after the planting
date for tomatoes, VPI home
gardening experts says.
The eggplant. a cousin of the
tomato, is much more sensitive.
It should be started indoors,
and transplanted only after
steady, warm weather sets in.
They should be well-spaced in
the flats so that the soil can be
cut with a knife a week before
transplanting, saving additional
shock.

University Researchers Study Curved Radio Waves

A team from the University of Alaska is doing some interesting research in this area relative to curved radio waves.
 They have a small plane at Nome Field which has been wait ing favorable weather. for the past several days tC fly at an even altitude of 400 feet over the local range, dragging an antenna and making recordings. If the air is turbulent and there is the slightest "bump" it is necessary to "retake" the drag" They make three recordings in each area tested.
 In the group are Glenn Davis, G. Stanley and Vic Hesshel.
 Glenn Davis is the son of Der nice Davis, cook at the Boring Sea Club. His wife and daughter are also visiting here.
 The plane and party expect to leave soon for Barrow and other points continuing their study of curved radio waves.

Hodge Tells Chamber Of Aleutian Trip Where He Held sFloating Court"

Members and guests at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon yesterday enjoyed an interesting talk by Judge Walter Hodge about his recent trip to San Francisco for a meeting of district judges, the first such meeting that he has attended. He stated that he par ticularly enjoyed meeting Chief Justice Warren, who attended the meeting.
 Hodge told of his trip along the Aleutian chain, where he held court, travelling on the U.S.C.G. Storis to Sand Point, King Cove, Cold Bay, Cape Saricheff, Atka, Nicolski, Adak and Unalaska.
 He observed that Ft. Mears and the Navy base at Unalaska and Dutch Harbor were both aban- doned, also that there was no civ ilian population west of Atka. Civilian population was moving into Cold Bay from Shemya.
 This trip was part of the Third Division floating court. Hodge will join the ship here on Aug. II and conduct floating court as far as Barrow for the Second Div ision.
