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.
