Dulles told the President the conference was ? successful one, and one which open the way tor much greater Coopera tion between NATO members The NATO conference set up a "wise nun's committee" of three, on the Foreign , Ministers level, composed of the ministers from Canada, Italy and Norway. ?

'Tito Is the greatest traveler among the world's inters. Yet some wonder why he doesn't stay at home more, where much Is yet to be done for his people! In WMbingtop, there has been a cooling toward the Marshal, who has been playing East against the West, successfully, from his stand point, while openly hostile to many U. S. principles? largely as a result of ignorance. It may be that the Tito tie will one day snap altogether. FA EM YOUTH EXCHANGE More than 1,200 -young farmers from the United States, Latin America, Europe, The Middle and Par East hsve participated in the International Farm Youth Ex change program, sponsored by the U. N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. In IMS, 119 young U. S. farmers worked on farms abroad.

In order to catty on a successful spray pro gram you must first know or de termine what pest you are trying to control. Is it a disease? Is is a chawing insect like a bean beet le? qr a sucking insect like an aphid? And what sort of damage does it dot Know what spray mat erial to use to control the pest and hMr to apply it to be effective. Tor example, it .would require a fungicide to control plant dis eases and this spray would have no effect on inaects. Insect sprays would not control diseases A spray tfeat. wtll control aphlds may not control bean beetles or cucumber beetles. It is often necessary to know how and where to apply the spray. The Mexican beah beetle feeds mostly on the underside of the leaf; therefore, the spray must be directed against the underside of the leaf in order to effectively control it. In order to eontrol ap hids the sprags must be applied directly on tile insect. The spray must be applied at the right time. This Is very important especially for the control of plant diseases as' well as certain insects. A day too late with the spray may mean failure to control the pest. -Do a thorough job. Good coverage is necessary for effective control. There are many combination spray materials on the market; that is, materials that will control several different pests, both insects and diseases. These are effective for the control of many peats but are usually rather expensive because while you may be applying the l^ray far ? tingle pent you are us ing several unnecessary materials Your county agent can help yeu identify the pests that are giving you trouble and can furnish in formation for controls.
