PAGE EIGHT ~ | CONTROL LEAFHOPPER BY USE OF BORDEAUX Mixture Is Best Remedy, Says Department of Agriculture. Combined With Nicotine Sulphate It Acts Little More Quickly but.ls Expensive—Spraying Must Be Thorpugh. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Results of :.two years' work -have shown that bordeaux mixture will re- pel .the leathopper, ‘control “hopper- burn,” and .Is”she best remedy, de- clares the United Stateés’ Department ot Agriculture ‘in Farmers’ Bulletin 1225, “The Potato Leathopper and Its Control,” now published for the bene- fit .ot growers ~whose crops are menace ‘by this serious insect pest. Bordeaux mixture made according to ‘ the 4-4-50 formula, containing 4 pounds of copper sulphate and 4 pounds un- slaked lime to 30 gallons of water was used, s Bordeaux combined with nicotine swlphate acts a little more quickly in ridding vines of leafhoppers than does bordeaux alone, but the results ob- tained do not appear to justify the added time and expense of using the added ingredient, it is said. Nicotine sulphate and soap combined were found very éffective in killing nymphs and a few adults present when the spray.was applied. There was no last- ing effect, however, because leafhop- pers reappeared in a few days. “Hop- perburn” was not controlled. The spray should be applied to the underside of the leaves thoroughly, at least 150 pounds pressure being used so that a fine mist-like spray is pro- duced. At least three applications are i recommended, with a fourth if neces: i sary to keep down “hopperburn” un- til the crop Is matured. Both sides of — each row should be sprayed to make | the application thorough. Additional detalls are contalned In the bulletin, which may be had free upon applica- i tion to the department at Washington, ! D.

Are shrimps lisects? The question 1s often asked by those who see these active little creatures alive for the first time. Insevts have sIx legs, but the shrimp has no fewer-than 24. He is a crus- tacean—first ccusin of the crab, the lobster and the crayfish. Many of the “shrimps” that one sees in shops are prawns, You can tell one from the other by looking at the heud, sa¥s the Detroit News. The prawn has a-long sharp-peinted horn edged with teetllike thase of a saw. Prawns turn pink Wwhén they are boiled, but shrimps become brown In color. ¢ The eyes of a shrimp are easy to see since they stand. out on stalks, but_you might, search for some time if you wish to discover his ears, for he keeps them in' a‘very odd place.

Time:to Time and Proper Man- agement Is Shown. — Bee keepers will be Interested in a new motion picture prepared by the United States Department of Agricul- ture showing the :best practice in handling bees and the control of bee diseases. The film, which is called “Keeping Bees at Work,” is intended to supplement a picture entitled “Bees —How They -Live and Work,” issued some time ago for more popular use. The new picture shows the need for requeening the colony from time to time, the way to prepare the bees for wintering, thie time to unpack the hives, the control of the swarm, and other details of management. The fact that the bureau of entomology will examine samples of - combs to identify diseases and advise on their control is brought out. L The film is in one reel, and may be borrowed by extension workers and others entitled to the privilege, or prints may be purchased for approxi- mately the cost .of making them, which s about $37.

This one-eighth inch around the o3 periphes of, say, six-inch tile, gives ,an entrance of two and onehalf square inches at ‘each joint. Thus in eleven joints—a length of only twelve feet of six-inch drnin—there is an entrance area equal to the cross-sec- tional area of the.tile. In a drain of only moderate length there is likely to be available a dozen times more opening than the interior capacity of the tile can make use of. Porosity Not Wanted. One mneed not' fear-that-the water cannot_ enter the tile. . Place them as close together as possible, turning them around to get the closest possi- ble fit. There need be no hesitation in the use of hard-burned tile, or, If available, sewer pipe with “bell” ends. Durability and strength are the qual- ities wanted—not porosity. In fact, porosity usually_means inferjority, and is to be avoided, especially where the tile are laid above the frost line or so close to the surface as to be af- | fected by the wheels of vehicles or heavy farm machinery.

Owsley, Director of Amerl- canism, Urges Co-operation With U. S. Against Radicalism. Alvin M. Owsley, director of Ameri- canism- for the American:Legion, fol- St lowing - a recent spenking tour of Alabama, Louisi- ana - and New | Hampshire, and conferences inj New - York -and | Washiagton, gives i out a’message of: werning to his Awerfean Legion comrades — more than;, a million strong—to arou 5 themselves to the peril of radicalism, and to awaken to the need of intelligent co-operation in the government's efforts to combat the menace. “In the past-the Amerlcan Legion has stood foursquare in its opposition to radicalism, to everything that might tend to undermine our government and its institutions,” Colonel Owsley sald. “And always in the future can our organization be depended on to fight any force that does not represent 100 per cent loyalty. “At the present time the dislayal elements in our soclety. are more ac- tive than ever before. Long-haired dreamers prate of the new order of things, and at the same time holder spirits lay dark plans for acts of vio- lence that they hope will serve in un- dermining the public's faith and trust in the government, or by force of ter- rorism win support. The recent ar- rests of communist leaders in Illinois; the necessity of state government ac tlon against the I. W. W.’s in Kansas; the stirring of radical movements in many parts of the country concomitant with the unrest and troubles of labor disputes show the necessity of con- stant watchfulness and readiness for action on the part of the American Legion.” Mr. Owsley declared that wherever he had been he had found the program of Americanism prepared by the Amer- ican Legion close to the hearts of Le- gionnaires, and of the public as a whole. “There are three big important things that stand first with American Legion members everywhere,” he de- clared. “They are hospitalization, re- babilitation and Americanization. All are embraced in the term ‘American- ization.” “Education of foreign-born elements port themselves and .depéndents: “No other question,“be it adjusted compensation or what not, looms so large in American Tegion . gatherings, as does this one..
