Spittle Bugs
Cause Worry
County Agent Gives
. Instructions for
- Insect Campaign
Strawberry groweri should be
prepared to dust for spittle bugs
and to bait for strawberry root
weevils as soon as the weather
settles a little, states Robert E.
Bieder, acting county agent Spit
tle bugs have been hatching lor
about three weeks now and are al
ready causing considerable dam
age to the young developing leaves
and to the developing fruit spurs.
It mar be necessary to dust
more than once for spittle bugs
but the lirst application should be
applied as soon as possible how as
gome of the worst damage results
from the early feeding of these
tiny spittle insects.
A rotenone dust containing one
half of one per cent actual ro
tenone should be used in combat
ting this insect. The dust should
-be applied with either a hand
dusted or a power machine, if
available. It is important that the
dust reaches the under sides of the
leaves and the heart of the fruit
spurs as this is the place where
the spittle bugs are most numer
ous and cause the most damage by
their feeding. An average field
will take between 50 and 70
sounds of this rotenone dust to
make one effective application.
Should a second dust be neces
sary, it should be applied about
two weeks after the first appli
cation in order to catch those spit
tie bugs which have hatched since
the first dusting.
Growers were unable, because
6f weather conditions in the 1941
season, lo apply their dust proper
ly on strawberries with the result
that many growers sustained loss
es due to spittle bugs from 25 to
even 50 and 70 per cent of the
crop in some individual cases.
Rieder says that the strawberry
root weevils are making their ap
pearance in many fields at this
time and it should be remembered
that there are two different groups
of strawberry root weevils and not
just the one found in the fields at
the time of the first picking. The
other group is present in the fields
now and will be laying eggs in a
short time. Bait for this weevil
should be applied at once in order
to prevent the laying of eggs
which would infest the plants this
summer.
In most fields then it is neces
sary to bait at least twice for
strawberry root weevil in order to
control both groups. The firs!
baiting should be done now and
the second baiting about the first
of June. Strawberry root weevil
bait can be purchased already
mixed and comes under the var
ious trade nrmes using various
plant products as a basis, such as
apple pumus, beet pulp or other
plant material.
If a grower desires to make his
own root weevil bait, it can be
made and used with as good re
suits as one of the commercially
prepared baits. The formula for
home made bait consists of 50
pounds of bran, 5 gallons of water,
ten pounds of sugar, five pounds
of either calcium arsenate or so
dium fluosilicate. These baits
should be placed either down in
the crown of the plant or close by
the side of the plant and not just
broadcast over the leaves as this
method results in the bait drying
out too rapidly and thus becomes
ineffective before the weevil has
a chance to eat it. The bait should
be applied at the rate of about a
' tablespoonful per plant or at the
rate of approximately 50 pounds
per acre, Rieder states.
oirawDerry root weevil are
night . feeders, feeding on the
leaves as weevils and on the roots
In the grub stage. During the day,
the weevils can be found by
scratching away the top soil at
the base of the plant where, they
will be found resting in this shad
ed and protected situation.

In Final Hour
Average Makes 2nd
Consecutive Climb;
Trading Down
NEW YORK, April 2CMflVThe
stock market Monday was rather
vague in its direction until the
final hour brought a moderate and
fairly general lift in prices.
; Earlier action disappointed
those who had hoped for an ex
tension" of Saturday's rally, al
though various leaders showed
good resistance throughout
. The slight broadening of de
mand for stocks just before the
close appeared to have been
prompted by a drying up of sell
ing. It might have been more sub
stantial except for unwillingness
of many market followers to take
on commitments until the gove-
ernment discloses its DurDoses
with regard to inflation control.
This was expected within the
next ten days.

Spraying for
Gooseberry
Fly Urged
. The gooseberry-, flies have be
gun to emerge .frorA the soil and
it will be necessary for growers
to apply ' spray within 10 days
or .the firs, application- by April
27 in order to prevent the early
flies from laying eggs in the de
veloping berries, announces Rob
ert E. Rieder, acting county agent
Gooseberry flies are controlled
by thoroughly spraying with lead
arsenate molasses spray made by
the following formula :,Lead arse
nate two -ounces, cheap molasses
one quart, water to make three
gallons. Growers whose plants
are a little' late in blooming can
time the spray application by the
development of the gooseberry.
The first spray should be applied
when the gooseberry is abouj the
size of a small pea seed.
Gooseberry spray is more than
a bait spray and it should be
done thoroughly, reaching every
part of the plant and especially
the under sides of the leaves
where the flies are usually found.
There is much misunderstand
ing about the gooseberry fly.
Many growers mistake the yellow
hairydung fly, which is usually
common in plants this time of
year before the' gooseberry fly,
which is seldom seen by growers
unless they will observe carefully
the developing berries on a hot
sunshiny day. The gooseberry fly
lays its eggs under the skin of
the gooseberry with its ovipositor.
The gooseberry fly itself is about
the size of a house fly, rather
brownish in color, has no hair
on Its body, has clear wings which
are striped with black bands and
is not as large as the bright yel
low dung flies which are some
times a quarter of an Inch long.
Rieder .says that later ' applica
tions for the control of the goose
berry fly should be made at week
ly intervals up to within 10 days
before harvest time. - Spraying
should be repeated after every
heavy rain since the spray con
taining molasses is easily washed
off the plants!'

were: George Burke, state depart
ment of forestry, Merril Ohling,
county fire chairman, and W. G.
Nibler, assistant county agent.
ine movement to organize
emergency rural fire fighting Knits
in this county is part of a state
wide ana even nationwide cam
paign to reduce rural fire hazards
to a minimum this year and to
prepare to fight such fires as may
be caused by enemies and sabo
teurs, says Nibler who will head
the project in Marion county.
The OSC extension service has
been assigned the job of organiz
ing the campaign with the assist
ance of six cooperating agencies
including state and federal forest
services, the grazing and Indian
services, the state fire marshal
and state defense council.
The plan provides for or
ganizing in each critical rural
area a volunteer fire fighting
unit designed to protect from 50
to 100 farms, depending on lo
cal conditions. For each district
a captain and an assistant will
be appointed. These men will
later attend at least two training
meetings, at which cooperating
agencies will instruct in latest
methods of fire prevention and
fire fighting in rural areas.
One of the main purposes of
thorough organization in advance
is to eliminate fire hazards and to
construct fire breaks around and
in fields and around buildings.
Crops, equipment, farm homes
and buildings are especially valu
able and difficult to replace dur
ing wartime, and they are essen
tial to attainment of production so
badly needed by the nation, Nib
ler points out
Farmers will be asked to lend
or list fire fighting equipment in
cluding shovels, rakes, water
buckets and cans, tractors, trucks,
plows, spray rigs, hand spray
pumps, and other material neces
sary to have available immediate
ly for emergency use.
