Harris, State i Extension Horticulturist, gives the following information on lawn and shrub care: Scale Insects There are few yards that! don't have scale of some kind on something. Some have large waxy scale (filled with red substance that resembles blood). This is especially bad on camellias and boxwood. Others have tiny scale that may be white, brown or grey in color, less than 1/16-inch long and about as wide as a pin. The scale may be on the leaves, (especially on the un der side) stems, or both. To control scale you should have applied an oil spray in March. If you didn't and even if you did, spray around the first of May and June with white oil emulsion and malath ion. You can combine these materials using both as direct ed on the container. Some garden stores carry these ma terials already combined. Be sure to follow directions on container, especially regard ing the use of oil during ex tremely hot weather. Scale is hard to clean up. It takes several thorough spray ings. Every leaf and every stem must be covered. Heavy prun ing before spraying will help get better coverage. Soot On Cape-Jasmine Leaves Are your cape-jasmine leaves covered with an unsightly black, sooty-looking material? This trouble is caused by white flies and other insects. The flies are small, snow-white, wedge-shaped and fly about when disturbed. They damage the plant by feeding on it and also by excreting a liquid that provides a material for the growth of the unsightly black, sooty mold. You can get fair control by using a 5% or 10% DDT dust about every two weeks. A white oil emulsion spray is also recommended, when there is no tender foliage on the plant. Use it according to di rections on the container. Mildew Mildew on verbenia, roses, phlox, zennia, crapemyrtle, and other plants can be controlled | by spraying or dusting with I sulphur or karathane. Don't use sulphur when the temper ature is above 90 deg. F. Control Bermuda Grass Fighting Bermuda (wire) grass with a hoe is like fight ing fire with a broom on a windy day. If the grass isn't among flowers and shrubs, kill it with dalapon (Dowpon), atla cide or T C. A. If among plants, use a black plastic mulch. Cover plastic with pine straw or other material to hold it in place. Another possibilitty is to take up the plants, treat area witth above materials or Methyl bromide (under plastic cover( and re-set plants. Wait two to six weeks, depending' on material used, before re setting plants. Keep grass from spreading back into border by spraying three or four times a year around the edge of bed with dalapon or other suggest ed chemicals. Don't spray un derneath plants or let these chemicals hit foliage of plants. Announcement By Negro Agent PEGGIE P. DREW County Negro Home Ec. Agent DOROTHY RUTH EDGE Assistant County Negro Home Ec. Agent Phone 204-1 Protect Home From Clothes Moth And Carpet Beetles This is a good time of the year for homemakers to pro tect their home from damage that may be done by danger ous little insects that are call ed clothes moths and carpet beetles. These insects may be found in any house or apart ment during the year. The damage they do averages from $200 million to $500 in the United States annually. The moth feeds on garments, upholstered furniture or furn ishings that are made of wool, fur, feathers, hair, etc. You may not be able to see these tiny insects until the damage has been done. When you see a butterfly-looking insect fly ing around in your house at night, the moth has perhaps done its damage by eating tiny holes in your woolen garments, draperies, rugs or upholstered furnitue. Do not wait; start to kill these insects today. A few simple things may be done that will help to protect your home or apartment from clothes moths and carpet beetles. 1. Sweep and dust your home often. 2. Do not let hair, lint, or dust accumulate in the cracks of the floor. This especially is important to homemakers who are in the habit of having cats and dogs around the house. 3. Air and dust your uphols tered furniture, pillows, drap eries and blankets. 4. Hang woolen garments, hats, gloves, sweaters, old woolen rags, and other articles in the sun, and brush before you return them to the house. When the insect is exposed to the sun, they fall to the ground and die. 5. Have your garments dry cleaned or laundered, wrap in clean paper, plastic bags or boxes and sprinkle with D.D.T. dust or liquid, naptholene flakes, paridichchorobenze crys tals or sprinkle with moth balls, powder or flakes. 6. Be sure to sprinkle what ever preventive you use in the pockets, cuffs, folds of hems; ! and seams of your garments or | draperies. j 7. Label the boxes so that it will be easy to find your things when you will need! them. 8. Seal the boxes with' gummed tape or paper. Witnesses Meet Called Blessing j Very enlightening. A great, spiritual blessing! Highly edu cational! These were a few of the expressions of approval I heard from the hundreds of delegates that attended the cir cuit convention of Jehovah's Witnesses at the National Guard Armory in Oxford last weekend. The crowning feature of the three-day meeting was the pub lic talk given by H. L. Brissett of New York on the subject ! "Who Will Rule the World?". The speaker told his audience: "Today the East and West have entered into a life and death struggle for world domi nation. But whether men ac cept it or not, in answer to the Lord's Prayer, God has decided who will rule mankind by enthroning his own son. His Kingdom Will accomplish on earth what neither East nor West nor all the government's of earth combined could ever hope to bring about, namely, make the earth a paradise, give mankind everlasting life free from sickness, bring an end to delinquency and divorce, and cause wars to cease to the ends of the earth, in fulfil ment of Bible prophecy." Eight new witnesses were baptized Saturday, said Joseph R. Davis of the North Unit Congregation, "1 am very hap py about the results of the Ox ford assembly. I am confident that each one present gained some counsel that he can per sonally apply in his ministeri al activity here in our home territory Notice label date and rene your subscription. Negro FARM AGENT NEWS LEONARD C. COOPER Negro County Agent L W. BURFREE Asst. Negro County Agent ATTENTION, VEGETABLE GROWERS! Young tomato, eggplant and pepper plants can be destroyed by flea beetles in just a few days after transplanting. It is a good idea to dust or spray these plants just before or just after setting to prevent dam age. If the plants are not killed by the flea beetles they will be slowed down a lot? resulting in fewer and later tomatoes. Most poor stands in gardens are due to poor soil prepera tion and fertilizer burning. Be sure that the soil is in perfect shape before planting. Fer tilizers should be applied in bands on either side of the plants, or mixed thoroughly with the soil before planting A few years ago over 75 pel cent of the New Jersey farm en that made over 10 ton* of tomatoes per acre had put their fertiliser In bands 3 to 3 inches on each side and 1 to 3 inches below the seed or plant roots. Many vegetable plants are killed or stuntetd each year by side dressing too close. Two to three weeks after a tomato plant is set its roots extend out 12 to 18 inches. Side dressings should be applied out near where the feeder roots are rather than right on top of the plant. Tomato blossom-end rot is due to insufficient calcium in the tomato fruit. This can be reduced by (a) proper liming of the soil before planting, fb) proper fertilization, and (c) uniform soil moisture.' Mulching and irrigation will J help maintain uniform soil1 moisture. Birds in the Berry Patch Home gardeners will find screening their best bet to dis courage the birds from eating the crop. Tobacco cloth, cheesecloth or similar mater ials are the most satisfactory materials for screening. The screening materials should not touch the fruit if you wish to avoid bird pecks. Birds are Soil Conservation News SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE By NAT B. WHITE Land smoothing and top soil ing operations have been ac complished by several Warren County fanners this spring. In some cases this was done with berry eaters from dawn to dusk so if protection is need ed, it is needed 24 hours a day for about two to three weeks. tractors; in ed to do the job. During the past week' this work was done by Frank Serfs of Warrenton and C T. PerUnson of Wise. Land smoothing serves sev eral pur poses. Waterways, or meadow strips, are shaped and the top soil used to fill in low places and to restore eroded land. Bench terraces and ail other obstructions are remov ed from the field. Paralled ter races or parallel strips are staked where possible. The field is then ready to farm with tractors wouthout serious j erosion.
