Some of you sweet corn growers
may be looking forward to the
satisfaction of sinking your teeth
in the first tender ears. Perhaps
the corn ear worms are also look
ing forward to that time —and they
usually get there first.
However, they can be effectively
.controlled with very little trouble.
For small gardens it i 3 probably
sufficient and easiest to dust the
silks of the corn with 5 per cent
DDT dust. The dust should be
applied directly to the silks when
about three-fourths of the silks are
showing and again when a few of
them begin to turn brown.
For large plantings use a power
sprayer and a DDT mineral oil
emulsion. With the advent of hot,
dry weather expect to have trouble
with red mites, commonly ©ailed
“red spiders’*. If the leaves of toma
toes, beans, dahlias or other garden
plants turn a brownish yellow
color they should be closely exam
ined for red mites which are very
difficult to control. Malathicm has
been found to be effective but is
toxic to hunlan beings and should
be used with care and strictly
according to manufacturers’ dire
ctions.
And don’t forget the ever present
Mexican bean beetle. As soon as j
you see some of the beetles —-Aey j
are large brown or yellow lady bird ■
beetles with sixteen spots on their!
wing covers—or as soon as you .
notice that some of the bean leaves
have been eaten so that they re
semble a piece of lace, get busy.
The best control .in the home gar
den is a 1 per cent rotenone dust.
Apply the dust to the undersides
of the leaves. Rotenone is not toxic
to -humans and. therefore may be
used without danger even after the
bean pods have formed. ,
• _older people generally prefer
to retire to smaller communities
rather than to the larger cities.
Exceptions to this- rule are Los
Angeles, San Diego, Seattle. Dal
las, Houston, Memphis, Atlanta,
Miami and Jacksonville.

NEW LEAFLET STRESSES
CIVIL DEFENSE ROLE OF
FARMER AND HIS FAMILY
The civil defense role of the far
mer and his family is described in
a new leaflet .being distributed by
the Federal Civil Defense Adminis
tration.
The publication—“RFD—Rural
Family Defense’’—is being distri
buted throughout the nation to
point up the importance of rural
lesidents in forging national pre
i paredness.
A five-point rural civil defense
program is outlined in the
pamphlet: ■
1. Take Care of your Family your
self —“A masp enemy attack on
America will disrupt much of the
transporation, communications,
business and conveniences on which
rural families depend. You and your
neighbors will need to ‘live off the
land." There are two very real and
direct dangers to rural areas. The
first is fallout. A potato cellar,
cyclone cellar or any storage cellar
covered by earth is a good shelter
(from radioactive fallout). 8 The
second danger ’is chemical and germ
j weapons. "You should know some
thing of ihe effect of such weapons
j - -the symptoms of the diseases or
j sickness they can cause in plants
■ and animals. You should know
/ what preliminary steps can be
. taken to counteract the effects of
typical germ and chemical weapons.
2. Keep Your Farm in Produc
tion —Estimates show that a succ
essful attack on all U. S. critical
target cities would make survivors
totally dependent on food gtored in
rural areas within two weeks.
—-3. .Be Ready To Market Your
Production —“You should know
what plans have been made by your
county for marketing farm pro
ducts—most important, .WHERE
they will be needed. You must be
leady to haul your products to these
markets. You will need to know
county plans for gasoline prior-
I ittM, and have a good knowledge
of the highway system in your
' I. 1 ’ - -
area.”
4. Be Ready To Take In EJvacweoe
—“You, your family and your
neighbors should make plans now
to shelter , and feed evacuees If it
becomes necessary. The Federal
Civil Defense law provides that you
will be paid for anything t.iat is
properly requisitoned.”
5. Plan To Help Others—‘‘Rural
families may be asked to help the
people in attacked areas.*’ Your
: help will be most effective if you
■ are trained to work on civjl de
• sense units such as rescue teams,
first aid teams, wardens and aux
iliary police. “If you are not in
civil defense, ask your local or
i county civil defense agency how
i you may join a training class. If
there is none in your area, help to
get one started.”
“The principles of civil defense
are not new to rural people,” the
pamphlet emphasizes. "You have
been taking care of your own, help
ing your neighbors, and ready to
help other—in peacetime emer
cencies—for a long time. But the .
problems and dangers posed by
possible enemy attack can be met
and answered only by organization.
Civil defense is that organization.’’
-In addition to the distribution
being made by FCDA, copies of the
leaflet are available at five cents
each from the Superintendent, of
Documents, U., S. (government
Printing Office Washington 25,

colmn which cause nerve pressure.
■ If people understood the working
of the human nervous system and
how each organ of the body de
pends on nerve supply for proper
function, they would egercise the
greatest care to protect their spine
from possible injury.
The spine may be likened to the
main superstructure', of the .distri
buting system at an electric power
plant. It supports the nerve cables
which run from the brain to every
irgan of the body. Since these nerve
trunks emerge from openings be
tween the segments of th spine, the
slightest vertebral misaligment can
cause a pressure on the nerves and
retard the flow of nerve eftergy.
By means of the X-ray and oth
er forms of scientific analysis the
Chiropractor can pin-point the lo
cation of nerve interference in the
spine. Manipulation, or adjust
ments, of the vertebrae is then
employed to correct the misalign
ment and remove the pressure.
