Elm Leaf Beetle Causes
Lace-Like Brown Leaves

Brown curled leaves on youl
elm trees with a fancy lace-likt
look are caused by the little dark
colored beetle which pestered you
last winter when it appeared in
your attic. In other words, the
elm leaf beetle has just beer
through the leaf feeding stage
states Louis A. Stearns, Exten.
sion entomologist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
Last winter housewives were
disturbed by this little beetle hib-
ernating in the attics and other
secluded places and appearing in
great numbers on warm days.
The little bug did no harm while
in the house.
It's too late now to control the
elm leaf larvae feeding. An in
secticide for this should have ap-
Piled in early June. At least this
is true in most areas of the state.
Since most elms are medium to
large trees, it is necessary to de-
pend upon commercial arborists
or town officials to do the job.
For control of the elm leaf
beetle, Stearns recommends lead
arsenal, 6 pounds in 100 gallons
of water, or 2 pounds of 500
wettable DDT powder. For small
trees which can be reached by
hand equipment, 10 tablespoonfuls
of lead arsenate or 2 tablespoon
fuls of the DDT in each gallon
of water.
Another invasion of attics can
be expected next winter where
damage to elm trees has been
plentiful this year.

"Prepackaging" Aids
Apple And Pear Growers

Transparent plastic films such
as Pliofilm, polyethylene, and
cellophane have already earned
their salt" in the prepackaging of
fresh fruits and vegetables, but
now some of these same trans
parent films are proving their
worth in prepackaging certain
fruits, according to DR.. Chester
w. Hitz, associate horticulturist
at the University of Delaware.
Results of recent studies made
by the United States Department
of Agriculture indicate that Ger.
tain sealed film box liners for fall
and winter pears and Colder
Delicious apples substantially
lengthen the cold-storage life anc
maintain the quality of these
fruits.
These box liners also extend the
fruits "shelf life" after remova
from refrigerated storage.
Physiological changes in pears
generally associated with pro
gressive ripening of the fruit il
cold storage, were definitely re
tarded by the use of sealed film
liners.

Summer Season Surgery
Best For ,AiIing Tree

Trees that need operations
should get them now.
Tree doctors prefer to do their
surgery during the summer be-
cause their patients are apt to
respond more quickly and look
better. Healing bark has time to
fully cover the edges of the
wound during the same growing
season.
In recent years, the average
individual operation is much
smaller one, and that's good, says

Saving Pigs

Some of the important practices
to follow in saving pigs are:
Place guard rails in farrowing
pen; provide a balanced ration for
sows and pigs; provide warm, dry
housing; put the sow and pigs on
clean pasture instead of old hog
lots; and immunize pigs against
cholera.

More Leg Room
The bus seats 43 passengers,
a far cry from the Hupmobile
touring car which served Grey
hound at it's birth in Hibbing,
Mimi. in 1914.
Leg room has been heightened
over the present buses for COM
fort. Achievement of this fea-
ture in itself took some doing.
AS the designers worked it out,
they settled on a vehicle 40 feet
long. Yet some State laws limited
buses to 35 feet. AS Scenicruisers
were to run in every State, laws
had to be changed, or else.
The prototype of today's ver-
sion was driven to the capital of
each State where the 35-foot
limit was in force. This strategy
sold legislators on relaxing the
law.
The ventilating system has
been improved to provide a COM
plete change of air every 40 Sec
onds. And to assist in removing
the annoyance Of cigarette
smoke, special vents have been
installed directly over the seats
to draw off fumes. Borrowed

She had never noticed it in other
buses. What she didn't know was
that the Diesel engines made no
more noise than usual. But the
sounds had been drowned out
as the running gear rolled over
the road and transmitted the
shocks, squeaks and chatter into
the passenger section of the bus.
