Public Officials Are Good "City Slickers" Because public officials failed to pay their personal electric bills, owed to the municipal plant, an Ohio town finds itself in serious financial trou ble. And a Pennsylvania village paid $39,000 for a paving job that should have cost $9,000. In another commun ity a mayor sold a $90 radio set to a contractor for $500 the day before paving contracts were let. This sort of shenanigans explains why many American communities don't get their money's worth for the $4,500, 000,000 they spent last year for gov ernment, says the National Consum ers Tax Commission, whose study groups in 9,000 communities are seek ing lower taxes through more effi cient and economical local govern ment. Those cases were among the most glaring of preliminary sam ples turned up by NCTC women in ?surveying for "economy begins at home," drives. Hou> To Control Wilt On Your Sweet Potato Plant* ? If sweet potatoes are to be plant ed on land that is known to harbor wilt or stem rot fungus, the root ends of the slips should be immersed in n Bordeaux Mixture solution made with one pound of Copper Sulphate (blue stone) and one pound of lime to two and one-half gallons of wa ter. A wooden tub or stone crock should be used. The plants should be drained and transplanted before the chemical dries on the roots. If the soil is dry, the plants should be watered at planting. Rotenone Is Used To Control Bean Beetle If you are troubled with Mexican bean beetle*?and aim oat every truck fanner and home gardener is, J. 0.1 Howell, extension entomologist rec ommends that you dust or spray your plants with rotenone. It is available at insecticide dealers all over the State, and Howell strongly urges that | it be purchased ready-mixed. Rotenone is very toxic to insects, , but is not poisonous to humans, the entomologist explained. It can be ap plied on beans at any stage of pod development without fear of pois ! oning when the beans are served on the table. "It is not advisable to use calcium arsenate on beans, as plant injury of ten results," Rowell continued. "Ar senate of lead should never be used on bean totiage because serious in jury and reduced yields usuatty fol t j low its applications." Treatments should be started when beetles are first found on the beans, or when egg masses become numer ous on the underside of the leaves, the extension specialist said. From one to three, and sometimes four, applications are necessary, depend ing on the prevalence of the insects. The dust method will probably - prove most satisfactory, especially for the home gardener. Dust appli cations can be made at any time dur ing the day if the wind is not Wow ing. The rotenone dust mixtures should not be used in a spray unless the manufacturer states on the label that a diluent has been used which will mix readily with water Finance Y ourHome Here Through FHA a ?
