Bugs Flying and Worming Their ii Aiir' j.: 1 1 c t yy ay in mii uirecuons m u. j. By HARMAN Washington (U.B Bugs are flying and worming their way In from all directions to eat our tomatoes, rutabagas, cabbage, corn, and other crops. The Department of Agricul ture warns that the pests will be as thick as ever this year In most areas of the country. To W. NICHOLS combat the menace, the depart ment has printed some booklets on all sorts of crop-killers. These may be bought by mail from the government printing office for a small sum. In this and other areas, the Japanese beetle is the most se- rlou challenge. They will appear In force about the middle of June and after a summer of destruction will disappear toward the mid dle of August. These little bugs can be curb ed by applying DDT or chlor dane solutions to the soil or later by spraying plants with DDT. Traps are not effective in fighting the Japanese beetle, the department says, unless the whole neighborhood gets togeth er in the fight. The, booklet on beetles costs 15 cents. Out In the west the alfalfa weevil has been a serious pest for years. Somehow it has found its way to the east. Scientists say that it may have come our way under its own power, or hitched rides in baled hay. Dieldrin and chlordane sprays are effective, but the Depart ment of Agriculture issues this warning: "Follow instructions carefully when using these materials. Be careful not to inhale excessive quantities at one time. After us ing the insecticides, wash your hands carefully. Keep containers of the materials plainly labeled and out of reach of children and away from foods." Perhaps the best all-around booklet on ways to outsmart farm and garden pests is' one called "Handbook on Insects and Diseases." The cost is 20 cents. Another well-known and ac tive destroyer of man's labors is the boxwood leaf miner, which atacks new leaves after hibernating through the winter in dead leaves. There are several commercial sprays that will destroy them. At Beltsville, Md., scientists are conducting a number of ex periments to fight various types of cockroaches and are con centrating on developing new types of non-toxic insect killers with phosphorus bases. These have proved more deadly than other methods in laboratory tests, but so far I commercial use nas Deen re stricted because of the danger to humans sometimes fatal. These solutions up to this Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, May 21, 1952 S point can be handled only by trained experts. The scientists ask us not to overlook some of Grandma's remedies. You can still go after a fly with a swatter, and it isn't against the law to pick bugs off the potato plants and worms off the cabbage.
