PAGE SIXTEEN New Insecticides Carry Triple Threat to Pests f WORM * 1— POTATO LEAFHOPPER Look for all these insects to invade your vegetable plot. While D.D.T. still kills more different garden insects than any one prewar preparation, new for mulations are now available which research workers consider even better than D.D.T. Aphids, or plant lice, which drink plant juices, are not all destroyed by D.D.T., though some are. Lin dane, one of the new materials, kills all aphids plus the beetles, worms, leaf hoppers and flea beetles which D.D.T. destroys. Lindane is a chemical refinement of a German chemical imported when the war ended. In its original form it was handicapped by a bad odor, but this has been removed. Like D.D.T., lindane kills the in sects which it hits, and leaves a residue on the plants which is fatal to pests that eat or walk on it. It also produces a vapor which is fatal to insects that breathe it. Chlordane, another triple threat to plant pests, is now recommended for destroying insects that are in the soil or crawl about on it. It destroys ants, cutworms, chiggers, wire worms and the like. * A great convenience for the ama teur gardener is an all purpose dust, containing materials which will destroy both insects and fun gous diseases which may attack plants, without the necessity of a diagnosis. A duster can be filled with such a dust and kept handy. At the first sign of trouble in the garden, it can be used to cover the affected plants with a film of protective dust, before damage has been done. Sprays that give equal I protection are also available, and can be used the same way. In application, a plant should be enveloped in a cloud of dust so that all leaf and stem surfaces are covered.

Experienced gardeners get to know the insects which every year attack their gardens. Aphids or plant lice, red, black but mostly green, often cling to the underside of leaves, or on the growing ends of growing vege tables, multiplying with amazing rapidity. Rotenone, purethrum, or nicotine dust or spray will kill them if used at the first sign of their arrival. Striped cucumber beetles appear on young plants of cucumbers, squash and melons as soon as they start growing. A handsome yellow bug with three black stripes, It infects the plant with a wilt dis ease, ss well as eating the leaves. Flea beetles are tiny flea-liks fliers which bore small holes in the leaves of cabbage, egg-plant, and tomatoes. Leaf-hoppers are like grass hoppers! one eighth inch long, which never stay put but swarm as you approach the beans they are feeding on. Lindane and D.D.T. kill them magically as they walk over , the leaves on which there is an insecticide residue. Squash bugs are reddish-brown, to black, three quarters of an inch long, which lay eggs in clusters on the under-side of squash leaves. The Mexican bean beetle is the black sheep of the lady-bug family. It is coppery brown with 8 black spots on each wing cover, and lays yellow egg clusters on the unden side of the bean leaves. 1 Cabbage worms are hatched from eggs laid by white butterflies, and feed on cabbage, cauliflower, broc coli and kohlrabi. When you see the white butterflies, spray or dust the plants. THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N.

They are carefully tended to make them produce berries that are just right for eating fresh or for making into preserves. There was a time, though, when the only strawberries to be had were wild ones growing in fields. To get the tasty fruit in those days, you had to take a basket and search for a berry patch. If you were living in the eastern half of the United States, tie chances are that you would have found good picking. That is the region where the wild strawberry has been abundant for years. It is still plentiful from New England to Florida and west to Oklahoma and South Dakota. The place to look for the plant, says the National Wildlife Federation, is in fields, pastures and grassy slopes. It grows out in the open where there is sunshine to keep the ground dry and to ripen the fruit in the late spring. Like cultivated strawberries, the wild strawberry is a low plant—from three to nine . inches high—that spreads over the ground. It grows from runners, or shoots, which reach out and take root at many places. Fastened to the runners are leaves, growing in clusters of three leaflets apiece. Each leaflet has coarse teeth along its edges and a rough, hairy surface. It is about two inches long. Here and there among the leaves are small white flowers. Each flower is from a half to three-fourths of an inch in diameter and has five round, white petals.' Attached to the same stalks that bear the flowers are the sweet red berries. Though not as large and at tractive in shape as cultivated straw berries, the wild ones look and ■‘■aste very much like the kind that come from gardens. As you might guess, the reason for the resemblance is that wild straw berries are the ancestors of the gar den variety. By working with the wild plants, experts have produced the strawberries which we cultivate. Wild strawberries now rank second to their tame cousins, but they still j furnish fruit for eating. And wher- i ever they grow, they perform a useful SPECIAL SUE ONMBNEX \ 69y 1 V , « 1 j •, ; vj Amlm VlAJhnjfcv* mam* mm mm Am —mmmw f VWf MVVHVX pops Vp-9IMH WQIIV/ MTVI IllVlltf Buy ah lead* a month's supply- ] Keep a box In every room In the house!
