Mr. John H. 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.

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

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

Land smoothing and top soil

past week' this work was done
by Frank Serfs of Warrenton
and C T. PerUnson of Wise.
Land smoothing serves sev

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
