Games Will Be Played On Thursday*. Ecusta’s 194V baseball season got off to a good start Thursday afternoon with a double-header. In the first game Maintenance de feated Pulping by the score of 14 to 13 and Machine Room licked Control 38 to 0. Many of the players were on the field for the first time Thursday afternoon and were not ap to best form due to lack of practice, but interest was at a high pitch and indications are that^we have the makings for anpther good baseball season at Ecusta. The schedule calls for a double- header every Thursday afternoon with the first game beginning at 4:15 o’clock. Each game will be seven innings. In the event of rain and the games being called off, they will be played on the fol lowing Monday afternoon. Ed White and Wilson Gregory are co-captains of the Machine Room team. Happy Collins is head of Maintenance, Ray Byrd is captain of Control’s team and Pulping is being piloted by C. B. Allison. Control Is Shutout Pulping outhit Maintenance, but •they were unable to put them to the best scoring advantage. Pitching for Machine Room, Payne held Control to no hits and no runs for a complete shutout. ' His team-mates, on the other hand, really turned on the steam, get ting a total of 32 hits and 38 runs. White led the scoring with 6 hits out of 7 trips to the plate, one of them being a home run.

Care Of Gardens Remember that planting your garden is only the beginning. It will need constant care and atten tion if you expect to harvest a good crop. A successful gardener will keep after weeds constantly, getting after them when they are small and always keeping ahead oi-them. Most small-plot gardeners prefer to use a sharp hoe for this, while a wheel-hoe is advisable for a large garden. Keep the ground in your gar den moist and in good condition by loosening the soil after each rain. This will also help you to win the “battle of weeds.” Control of Insects And Diseases While many new methods and new insecticides have been devel oped for the control of plant in sects and diseases, most of them are not generally available for civilian use. Most of the old “stand-bys” are available, how ever, and if properly used, they will be of assistance in helping to keep Victory gardens free of pests and diseases.

Score by innings: Machine Room 5311 19—38 Control 000 00— 0 garden vegetables, it is essential to make preparations well in ad vance. It is well to have a separate box or kit for insecticides. In this in secticide kit should be the follow ing: Paris green, calcium arsenate, cryolite and rotenone, for the chew, ing insects. A supply of lime and dusting sulphur should also be available for mixing with some in secticides. For the sucking insects there should be a supply of nico tine sulphate (40%) and some py- rethrum in the form of extract or dust. One of the effective pyreth- rum dusts is Pyrocide dust which may be used for combatting a few of the insects otherwise difficult to control. Mexican bean beetle. To control this pest on snap and lima beans, a spray of cryolite should be used. Mix 1 ounce (or 9 level teaspoon fuls) to one gallon of water. Spray thoroughly so as to cover under side of leaves. Several applications may be necessary to control this pest. Cryolite is poisonous, be careful in using it. After pods on snap beans are half grown cry olite should not be used, as poisonous residue will be deposit ed on the pods. Rotenone dust (containing 0.5% rotenone) should be used on snap beans after pods are halfgrown, This material is non-poisonous, therefore safe to use on beans as well as certain leafy vegetables Rotenone is scarce, so conserve the supply by following the above recommendations on beans. Cabbage worms. Until head is half grown use a mixture of Paris green, one part, and hydrated lime nine parts, or calcium arsenate (undiluted.) When using Paris green, lime mixture, , mix ingre dients together thoroughly. Dust when dew is on the plants and when air is calm. After head is half’grown, use 0.5% rotenone dust to avoid poisonous residue of Paris green and calcium ar senate. Plant lice or aphids. Many gar den vegetables may be attacked by plant lice.
