Bed Spider Mites on Orna
mentals: Last week I was
called to diagnose trouble on
azaleas and some other
plants in home ground plant
ings. Spider mites were
found to be the main trou
ble. This insect is very
tiny, usually very dark in
color, and is found on the
underneath side of the,
leaves. It is a sucking in
sect and can do considerable
damage or even kill plants.
To control spider mites,
plants should be thoroughly
sprayed, particularly, on the
underneath side of the
leaves, with Malathion, Tri
thion, or Systox. There are
some other insecticides that
will do the job. Systox is
a systematic i n s.e c.t j.c id e
which the plant absorbs,
making the plant poisonous
to sucking insects for sev
eral weeks. Trithion has
long lasting effect. Mala
thion should be used every
7 to 10 days until no eras
ing mites are found. Be
sure to read the label and
follow instructions on it.
Scales on Ornamentals:
Scales were also found to
be the problem on some or
namentals. These are also
sucking insects with a waxy
coat on them. Spraying with
Volk, a summer oil spray,
is perhaps most effective.

Usually one application is
sufficient, but sometimes an
other is needed in about two
weeks. Be sure to read the
label and follow instructions
on it. _
Thrip Control on Peanuts:
Some peanut growers did
not use Thimet or Di-Sys
ton at planting time to con
trol thrip and leafhoppers.
Those growers may dust or
spray with Sevin as soon as
peanuts are up. Follow the
recommended applica
tion rates. Thrips are al
ready appearing in young
peanuts.
Where Thimet or Di-Sys
ton was used at planting
time, no thrip appearance is
being found. These chemi
s cals are very . effective on •
controlling these insects and
also serving as repellants for
squirrel and coon which dig
lup seed peanuts and eat
them.
Leave A ' Good Cotton
Stand: Generally, cotton
stands are looking very
good and in most fields ex
amined there should be no
thinning at all. A good cot
ton stand at this time should
contain an average of 6 td 7
plants per foot of row. or
approximately 200 plants in
10 good steps. Growers who
have stands no thicker than
this should not do any thin
ning.
A stand of 7 plants per
foot of row at this time will
possibly end up with about
4 plants per foot of row at
harvest time. Growers who
making yields, of 1 */u to
two bales per acre are those
who have a stand of plants
averaging around 4 plants
per foot of row at harvest
time.
Cantaloupe, Cucumber and
Mtelon Insects: Flea beetles
and stripes and spotted cu
cumber beetles are feeding
’on many fields that have not
been protected against these
insects. These insects not
only damage plants by feed
ing on them, but they also
transport disease organisms
from a diseased plant to
healthy plants as they feed.
A good control measure is
to spray with 1% Lindane or
dust with 1% Lindane plus
5% copper combination. Re
peat applications should be
made about once per week.
The insecticide should not
be applied during the heat
of the day or early of a

This Is The Life

BACK YARD SERMON
When you’re working in 1
the yard, like mowing your !
grass, do you ever stop to ;
talk with the man next !
door. The little woman can '
be hanging out her wash \
and will stop to swap words
with the woman across the ,
back yard fence. We have
a good chance to tell them
about Jesus. There is al
ways someone to witness to
like the milkman, oil, w'ood,
gas, insurance or mail man.
All these could be lost and
are on their way to hell.
Are you going to point them
to Christ or keep quiet and
let them go their way? How
about your friends that drop
in or your neighbor you
drink coffee with?
We are all lost until we
accept Christ and then we
are born again or saved. We
must tell them about Christ,
who died for our sins and
how they can be saved. If
they refuse and die, their
blood will not be on our
hands.
Our life is so short and
what a shame and waste it
is not to have Jesus as our
Savior. Tell the lost about
Christ and he will think
there is no better sermon
than a back yard sermon.
Try and see.
The Bible says: “Being
bom again, not of corrupt
ible seed but of incorruptible,
by the Word of God, which
liveth and abideth forever.”
—I Peter 1:23.

j Lord our God is holy.”—
; Psalm 99:9.
’ Lesson Text: 2 Samuel
:e-8.
» Today we study the ques
tion: What should be the
.relation of religion to na
[ tional life?
’ Our lesson for. today eon
. tains the story of the Ark,
’ and the symbolism it had
.for the nation of Israel. The
’Ark was just a wooden
(Chest, carved and lined with
’ gold iniay. Os simple de

’great symbolic content for

[ dus 25 describes how the
> Ark was made, shortly after
J the escape of the Hebrew's
.from Egypt. Throughout
’their journeyings in the wil
. derness. wherever they went,
j the Ark went u'ith them.
■ Just so long as they had the
j Ark with them, the people
■ felt that God was with them,
j The Ark was a sort of cen
tral shrine for the worship
jof the Almighty.
; In the days of adversity
• that were experienced by
I the Israelites, the Ark fell

! mies, the Philistines, but
’eventually it w r as returned

human being is receptive to
God’s presence in his life.
Acknowledgment of un
worthiness and our innate
tendency to sin is still an
other facet which, honestly
faced and acknowledged,
will serve as another step
ping stone towards a closer
communion with God. From
there acceptance of the Gos
pel, with all the light and
hope it contains for man
kind, and the will to shaie
the glad tidings with the
rest of the world follows as
easily and surely as night
follows day.
In our church services
hymns of adoration, prayers
and supplication—the read
ing of the Scriptural pas
sages all lead to the sermon
as the central point of our
combined worship. There is
nothing more soul-satisfying
than the able presentation of
an uplifting sermon, wherein
we can ‘“sort ourselves out”
of the pressures of every
day living and fasten on a
goal that will make us a
better person.
There are many approaches
to worship in this great land
of ours; and it is something
of which we should be
proud. Freedom to worship,
each in our own way, is the
cornerstone of our country
and of civilization. In some
faiths simplicity is the key
note to worship; those who
adhere to this school of
thought feel that liturgical
trappings distract from the
basic act of worship. In
other faiths it is felt that
the symbolical trappings are
important aids to worship,
serving as constant remind
ers for more meaningful ap
proaches to tile act of wor
ship.
Whatever our Viewpoint in
this regard, the fact re
mains that communion with
God is a very personal mat
ter. It goes wherever we go,
because it is within our
hearts. The Christian car
ries his commitment to God
within himself, as he goes
about his daily tasks of liv
ing, and that is as it should
be.
But how good it is that he
is free to meet his fellow
men in public worship, in
God’s house—and openly and
proudly aver his belief in
