LXV Agent Discusses How To Control k Flea Beetles i By H. K. Sander, County Agent “My tobacco plants are disappear ing. I go to the beds one day and see plenty of young plants just coming up. The next day the plants are gone—especially those around the edges of the bed, next to the poles”. I believe the flies are eating them up. I see swarms of small.flies under nthe cloth, flies with real thin wings. *What can I do to get rid of them?" Farmers are coming in every day with this report to the Farm Agent’s office. Our instructions from the Department of Agriculture state the ADULT BLACK FLIES AND MIDGES WHICH SWARM UNDER THE CANVAS CAUSE NO DAMAGE WHATEVER TO TOBACCO PLANTS. However, these flies lay tiny eggs in the soil in the plant bed, and these eggs hatch out into very small larvae which cause damage by uprooing young tobacco plants. These insects are easily controlled With NAPTHALENE FLAKES ap plied at the rate of 114 lbs. to each 100 yards of plant bed. “One to three applications may be necessary. Make applications a week apart. Naptha . lene flakes may be obtained at drug I stores or perhaps the dime stores. Flies and gnats are easily seen and are often given credit for damage caused by the flea-beetle. Each flea beetle can get ten times his own weight in green plant food every day; therefore he can do much dam age to very young plants which he eats up entirely. As the plants get larger, this insect eats holes in the | leaf, which can be seen easily. As a poison to kill these flea bcetles, mix one part of Paris Green with five parts of Arsenate of Lead. Mix thoroughly. If a liquid spray is preferred, use 2 lbs. of this mixture in 50 gallons of water. Or, for a small quantity, use 2 tablespoonfuls ► of this mixture in 3 gallons of waiter. ThiV to 4 gallons should be suffici ent Tot each low yds. or plant bed' . while the plants are very small.' I Repeat the application as often as necessary, because other beetles will come in from the outside and get into the beds. If rain falls within 48 hours after an application has been made, suf ficient to wash off the poison, the bed should be sprayed again. o OPA Fights Black 1 Market In Meat Raleigh.—Court actions at the rate of 20 per week are being brought against slaughterers and meat pack ers in an OPA drive against black market operations which are divert ing much of the short supply of meat from legal channels, Theodore S. Johnson, OPA District Director said today. Simultaneously the Office of Eco nomic Stabilization has begun a policy of withholding subsidy pay ments to slaughterers guilty of making overceiling payments for live cattle, he said. The action taken upon the recom mendation of OPA, directs the Re consruction Finance Corporation au- I tomatically to withhold subsidies • from slaughterers who, during an ac counting period beginning April 1, purchase live cattle above OPA’s maximum prices, Johnson expjained. Actions developed qgainst slaught erers include criminal indictments, treble damage suits, injunctions to prevent further violations, and sub sidy withholding, he added. o * A Welcome Visitor We were delighted to have a call recently from Mrs. W.
