Ever wonder which insect pests
give Delawareans the most trouble?
The list changes every year,
changes according to such things
as weather, farming practices and
other reasons.
William H. Henderson, County
Agent, reports that a survey team
from the University of Delaware
score them as follows: First and
worst, as far as dollars-and-cents
damage goes, is the corn earworm.
Then comes the alfalfa weevil.
Next are termiLes, then the corn
borer. Following this are the aph-
id, cabbage l0oper, dusky sap bee
tie on corn, and the Colorado pota-
to beetle. The salt marsh mOsqui-
to only ranks ninth on the list and
the housefly tenth.
Research tests are under way at
the University to find better an
swers to the control of at least 9
Of the major insect pests plaguing

Dangers Of Dark
Stressed In Top
Safety Posters

The Importance of dressing SO
you can be seen in the dark is
the theme of the AAA traffic safe
ty poster now being distributed
to the schools during November.
The message on the poster is
one of the most important safety
lessons being taught to youngsters
in the school safety program. Mr..
Russell H. Campbell, General
Manager of The Columbus Auto
mobile Club explained, More
than half of all pedestrians killed
in traffic are struck at night, and
many people do not realize how
difficult it is for drivers to see
pedestrians in dark clothing. If
everyone who has to walk along
highways and cross poorly lighted
streets at night would wear or
carry something white or light
colored, the hazards of darkness
would be greatly reduced"
