“ Will you please give instruct- t
ions for fumigating soils in the (
vegetable garden and flower beds. |
I have heard aout it but have |
never tried it.’’
Soil fumigation is coming more
into the production picture and
is being employed by many home
owners to control nematodes,
soil-borne diseases and weeds.
Perhaps the most important be
nefit derived from this treatment
is the control of nematodes be
cause they not only themselves
inhibit normal plant growth, but
they also leave open wound in
roots which permit easy invasion
of soil borne diseases.
Perhaps the best soil fumigant
is methyl bromide, it is very ef
fective and used extensively in
tuoacco beds. The material comes
in 0..e i-uund cans and should be
atyi-eJ at the rate of two pounds
pti 100 square feet of soil area.
It is sold under such trade names
as Doiw-MC-2, Pestmaster and
Bedfume.
You will need a gas-tight cover,
plastic covers, suitable for this
puipose, are available. It is ne
cessary to ail the cover to con
tain the gas, otherwise the treat
ment will not be effective. If you

use a cover that has been used
on your tobacco bed, be sure that (
all holes in the plastic have been
patched.
Here are the steps: Loosen
the soil well to a depth of about
eight Inches. Distribute sacks
fitted with straw, or use soft
drink bottles, over the area to
hold the cover above the soil.
This will give better gas pene
tration. If bottles are used, plunge
the neck end in the soil. Don’t
use anything that might puncture
the plastic cover. Seal the cover
by covering the edges with soil.
Special applicators for releasing
the gas are needed: also, plastic
tubing tubing to direct the gas
under the cover. These will be
available from your supplier of
methyl bromide. The tubes are
remov'd after the gas is released.
Carefully follow the instruct
ions provided by the manufact
urers when applying the gas.
(Polders are usually furnished with
the material. Applications should
be made when the tempera
ture is above 60 degrees and the
cover should remain over the
treated area !for 24 hours. Wait
about three days, preferably a
, week, after the cover is re

WITH THE BIBLE
BY CORNELIUS R. STAM PRES.
BEREAN BIBLE SOCIETY
CHICAGO 35, ILLINOIS
The city of Chicago recently !
witnessed one of the most daring
robberies in recent years.
Right in the heart of the Loop
cn busy State Street, while all
the stores were open for business,
two masked robbers entered Le
bolt’s Jewelry Store. One .of
them did not even carry a wea
pon, but the other had a revolver
in each hand, so while he kept
the two customers and eight em
ployees under control, the other
(went to the window and scooped
up more than- $250,000.00 worth of
diamonds and jewelry. And all
this with an audience looking in
at the window.
Roy Lloyd, Lebolt’s “diamond
man,” said: "It was a wierd
dream. Here I was watching the
man shovel diamonds into his
and at the same time I
could see people out on State
• Street, watching him do it.”
Something like this seems al
moved befi.e planting.
If you r: e not prepared to
treat relatively large areas, I
would suggest that you treat the
soil in your vegetable garden
where you plan to set tomato
plants. This crop seems to "be
more of a problem in many sods
due to nematodes and certain sou
. borne diseases.
most unbelieveable, but actually
it is not, in the light of our times
for this is no isolated incident.
Never has morality been at so
low an ebb among nations and
individuals—and never has crime
rate been so high. This should
cause thinking people to recall
what the Bible says about the
dosing days of the age of grace
in which we live.
II Tim. 3:1-5: “This know also',
that in the last days perilous
times shall come.
“For men shall be lovers of
their own selves, covetous, boast
ers, proud, blasphemers, dis
obeident to parents, unthankful,
unholy.
“Without natural affection,
tnucebreakers, .false accusers, in
continent, fierce, despisers of
these that ale good.
“Traitors, heady,
lovers' of pleasures more than
lovers of God;
“Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof. . .”
Doesn’t this sound very much
like the times in which we live?
And should it not cause us to
consider whether “the dispensat
ion of the grace of God” might
, not be drawing to a dose? At
this moment God is still sending
forth His ambassadors to pro
blaim salvation by grace, through
faith in Christy who! died for our
sins, but more than ever should
we heed the exhortation of St.
Paul: “Recieve not the grace of
God in vain. . . .Behold, NOW is
the accepted time; behold, NOW
is the day of salvation” (IT Cor.
6:1,2).

Trolling’s Line Os Trouble. I
Trolling can cause even the)
'best behaved of fishing lines tO|
■act like a teen-ager doing the;
‘l twist. ’|
I To prevent twisting and;
foaled lines caused by trolling, |
.Mercury outboards' fishing ex-!
i |>erts offer a few ideas that!
J e It’s important, they say, to*
1 f realize that nearly all lures wilt
revolve while being towed un
derwater. But, they do not all
turn in the same direction.
Before chucking a lure over
the transom, check its natural
; direction of spin by dragging
j the plug or piece of hardware
, I alongside for a • few seconds.
I 'Do this with several, different
; lures. When the time comes to
jsnap on a new one, select a
• model that revolves in the op
posite direction.
; Swivels should always be
fused between lines and lure.
, They help some, but do not pre
sent twist.
I Keels or keel sinkers rigged
ahead of the plug are far more
effective in eliminating prob
lems.
Keels have another value that
is seldom recognized. Bright
metal styles often call atten
tion to the trailing bait or lure
and result in a greater number
of strikes. They also reduce
short striking incidents, parti
cularly when long eels or pork
rinds are used.
At intervals, advise the Mer
cury folks, remove the plug and
allow the line to run free for a.
few minutes. Do this again!
while cruising back to the dock!
at day’s end. . " I
The twist may be okay fori
the kids,, but let's keep it out
of fishing., ... *•
