Anger or Cup Type Elevator?
The principle advantages of the
auger for grain are % simplici-
ty (2) compactness and (3) adap-
liability from any angle from hor-
izontal to vertical It's main
disadvantage is the high power
requirement especially for high
vertical lifts. To handle a given
quantity of grain, an auger re-
quires about 4 times as much
power as a cup type elevator.
The original cost of the auger
is much less than for a compar-
able cup elevator. However, when
the cost of the elevator plus the
cost of the motor is considered
the cost of the auger elevator sys-
tenn is about the same as for cup
type elevator systems.
How Honest Are Farmers?

Likewise, exaggerated expenses
are not too important in total. 1t

farmers may, through carelessness,

tible expenses which offset tax

spores however, and are Just
as likely to knock off your cats
and dogs as the grubs if you
don't soak the insecticide thor
oughly into the lawn. In fact
you should keep your children,
dogs, cats, etc. from playing on
the lawn until you have wash
ed the materials in, Bray said.
The outbreak of the Japanese
beetles may be due to the many
new housing developments, DR..
Bray said. The beetles seem to
be worse in new lawns.
The wet summers of the last
two years have also helped the
beetles by providing soft soil,
enabling the grub form of the
pest to move easily from one
grass root to another as well as
up and down in the soil.
DR.. Bray said the entomology
department made mass attack
on the beetles in the late 1905
by spreading milky disease
spores in several spots in the
state. The spores lived in the
soil and spread out controlling
beetles fairly well. The spores
were ch e cked shortly after
World War II and were doing
well.
Another check is going to be
made this fall, Bray said, to see
if it is still effective.
DR.. Bray had a parting thought
for those who prefer to spend
their fall week-ends watching
baseball and football on TV and
reading the Sunday paper while
complaining bitterly about those
blankety blank Japanese grubs
out there in the lawn. The fight
will 60 on without you, he said.
The skunks, robins, sparrows
and especially the starlings, will
continue in their relentless bat
tie against Japanese beetles.

Grub Invasiions
Foreseen During
Cooler Fall Days

You say you had japanese
beetles pretty bad this year.
You say they're gone now? We
got news! They are out there
under the window right now
chewing the bottom off youl
lawn.
DR.. Dale Bray, chairman OF
the entomology department al
the University of Delaware, said
the beetles have just shifted
gears, so to speak, and what
they did to your roses is moth.
ing to what they are going to
do to your lawn!
All those survivors from your
spray gun have been going un.
derground and laying eggs, Bray
said. Those eggs either have, or
soon will, develop into exceed
ingly hungry little grubs who
will set out to separate your
grass from its roots. And they
have all the tools to get the
job done.
After fattening up to hiber-
nation size the grubs will move
down in the soil to get away
from the cold and come back
up next spring to finish off any
grass roots they missed in the
fall.
They will come out into the
sunshine about the midle of
June, as beetles, and start on
the new roses you will be baby
ing alone to replace the ones
the beetles got last year.
Chemical Warfare
Now if you enjoy the beetle
battle during June and July you
can keep your spray gun greas-
ed and kiss your lawn goodbye.
On the other hand, if you would
just as soon stoop to bacteria
logical and chemical warfare,
DR.. Bray has in mind some in
fernal devices that will do a
devilishly complete job.
He described one called milky
disease as bacterial spores
which cause a disease in the
grub which is fatal, and fatal
diseases of the beetle are the
best"
If you favor chemical war
fare you can use a number of
materials such as chlordane, di-
eldrin, heptachlor or aldrin.

.Mildew Control
Alarming Fact
In Warm Weather

A common discovery in many
Delaware homes during this
wet, warm weather is mildew.
1t will grow on just about any
thing. Clothing is particularly
susceptible to mildew and will
weaken and even fall apart if
not treated in time.
To successfully remove and
control mildew, Miss Patricia A.
Middleton, home management
specialist with the Extension
Service, University of Delaware,
offers these tips.
For clothing, remove mildew
spots as soon as you discover
them. Brush the cloth outdoors
so you will not spread the mold
spores in the house, she warned.
Sun and air the fabric and
treat the spots with soap and
water if the garment is wash
able, otherwise have it cleaned.
If soap and water does not take
out the stain, moisten with a
lemon juice and salt mixture
and dry in the sun. Then rinse
thoroughly with water. Test
colored materials in an incon-
spicuous area for color fastness
before using this treatment, Miss
Middleton warned.
On leather, cloth moistened
in diluted alcohol Zone cup de-
natured alcohol to one cup wat
err will wipe away the mildew.
Polishing shoes and luggage
with good wax will help
keep mildew from starting.
In general, air, sun, and soap
suds will control mildew on
leather, rugs, and upholstered
furniture she said.
Homemakers can do several
things to keep mildew from
starting. Air and dry rooms,
closets and clothing as well as
possible. During hot, wet per-
iods it may be necessary to heat
the house for a short time, then
open doors and windows and
force the warmed air with a fan.
A small electric light kept
burning in a closet will stop
mildew if the space is not too
large, Miss Middleton said.
Silica gel, chemical that |
takes up moisture, can be used
in closets or storage spaces. 1t
can be renewed by drying in
the oven when it turns from
blue to pink. Silica gel will
soak up half its own weight in
water.
Air the house only when out
side air is cooler than inside
air. Warm air will condense
leaving more moisture in than
it will take out. Cool air will
absorb moisture as it is warm
ed inside the house.

the corn picker will observe the
following few rules:
l. Stop the picker before oil
ing. adjusting or unclogging
Make shutting off the power
a habit every time you leave the
tractor seat.
2. Keep shields in place. New
er operate the machine without
safety shields. Use tractor en-
gine shields for fire prevention
on mounted pickers. Keep a fire
extinguisher handy.
3. Dress for the Job. Always
wear close fitting clothing that
is warm and comfortable. "Ex-
ira thumb" gloves are always
dangerous.
4. Watch out for falls. Allow
no one else on machines with
you, and see to it that you have
a firm footing when climbing on
and off equipment.
5. On the highways use a red
flag mounted high to warn mo-
torists of your slow moving We
hicle. Use reflective lighting and
obey traffic rules.
