Congratulations to Phyllis and Joe Jones who have become the parents of a baby girl named Sarah Elizabeth Last year 33 million Ameri can households had gardens. And gardening continues to grow in popularity not only because it is personally satis fying, but also because it cuts grocery costs. As more and more people take up gardening, they also encounter the biggest problem in the garden: insects. Insects are the number one cause of crop loss to the home gar dener. Every home gardener can have healthier crops and higher yields. There’s no secret to it. It’s simply a matter of protecting vegetable plants from harmful insects. Control Garden Pests, Increase Vegetable Yields M'- m If your garden has problems with Insects, you’ve probably seen the effects: ragged leaf edges, holes in fruit or vegeta bles, and curled or browning leaves. Once you know a pest is present, try to identify it. Certain Insects are common to most gardens. Garden ene my number one is the aphid. Hardly a plant exists that is not subject to Infestation by one or more of the aphid species. Bible School will begin on June 22nd. On Sunday, June 22, there will be church council. * * Special guests singers at Flint Hill recently were The Bridges Sisters who consist of Mrs. Ronnie Kale of Poplar Springs Baptist and Mrs. Ford Glenn of Mt.

Mrs. Sessom’s sister, Sally, of Raleigh is spending a few days with Rev, and Mrs. Ed Sessom, ’The aphid is a slow moving, soft-bodied insect in a variety of colors from pink to green. They feed by sucking plant juices, causing a loss of plant vigor and curling or distortion of the leaves. Not only do aphids cause plant injury, they also transmit virus di seases. In addition to aphids, your garden can fall prey to a wide variety of insects, including grasshoppers, cutworms, leaf- hoppers, white flies, and many others. Leafhoppers suck plant juices, turning leaves brown. Cutworms are especially fond of stalk-type plants, feeding on the stems and leaves. "While flies affect tomatoes, beans, and many other veg etables, while grasshoppers feed on any available vegeta tion. Insecticides are available to handle almost all insect prob lems in the garden. See your dealer or County Agent con cerning your specific problem. Always read and follow ex actly all directions and pre cautions on the label of spray material. Repeat applications needed or noted on the label. Some spray materials should not be used just prior to harvest. Follow Instructions on the insecticide container closely. If you are in doubt about which insecticide to use, or if you cannot identify an insect, consult your local lawn and garden center, state university extension service, or country agent. They will help you identify the pest and advise the best spray material for the job. Once the pest has been identified and the proper spray material chosen, every gardener needs an effective, yet easy way to apply the pesticide. ’The National Spray er and Duster Association sug gests that you choose a spray er or duster depending on the size of the job to be done. Compressed air sprayers, for example, come in capacities ranging from one to four gal lons. They have adjustable nozzles and curved extensions so that you can easily apply the spray down from above, in from the side, and up from below. This is so important because many insects and plant diseases are found under the leaves. Covering a plant from the top only leaves many pests untouched and free to continue their damage. For larger scale plantings, power sprayers of larger capa cities are available. ’They are powered with either a gaso line or an electric motor and have a tank capacity of ten gallons and up. Dusters are available in a choice of sizes also. The most popular duster is the plunger type. When equipped with an extension and an adjustable nozzle, it, too, meets your basic requirements. It makes it easy to put the pesticide where the problem is. ’The National Sprayer and Duster Association also states that good gardening practices are important in the battle against Insects. Keep garden areas free from weeds and debris. Many Insects spend the winter in weeds and move to vegetables in the spring. This is particularly true of aphids and stalk borers. Weeds also compete with wanted plants for water and soil nutrients. Select hardy, disease-resistant crops. ’The healthier your , plants, the less susceptible: [ they are to Insect attack. Al- ‘ ways maintain proper fertili zation and watering practices.
