Pest Control On Plant!
In Revolulioned Process
Pest control on plants is In the
process of being rather com
pletely revolutionized, and a lot
of generalized publicity is ap
pearing which is exciting the at
tention of the home gardeners
as well as the commercial or
chardists. The advent of the new organic
poisons such as DDT revolution
ized the type of material being
used, and now wc are promised
that an entirely different method
of attack is being developed.
This method of attack is to feed
the poison to the plant so that
any insect attacking the plant
will be killed, some oi uiesu
poisons are apparently versatile
enough so that they kill not only
insects but diseases as well. This
is a development which origin
ated in England but is being
widely carried on in this coun
try. So far none of the articles
have given any specific informa
tion as to the type of poison
used, so we are still in tne aarn
as to their nature. .
While we are all very anxious
to have a development such as
this, it will be best if the ex
perimenters investigate every
angle very careiuuy Deiore re
leasing it. For many years one
poison has been available which
would do this same thing, but it
was a very toxic material and
accumulated in the plant so that
it was also poisonous to humans.
Apparently these new materials
are non-toxic to humans, but this
point should be so thoroughly in
vestigated before release that
there would be no doubt about it
In the public mind afterwards.
These new chemicals are so
effective that in some cases the
seed can be treated before plant
ing and any aphis or other plant
bugs feeding on the mature
plant later will be killed. This
would certainly take a lot of the
backache out of home gardening.
Carburetor Too Rich
Makes Motorist Too Poor
Car owner who art wasting
money and not getting proper gaa
mileage due to over-rich mixture

Berry Spraying For Red
Miles Should Be Don Soon
Spraying berries for red mite
is a chore which should be done
soon. The new buds are coming
out now and in the course of a
week the little blossom clusters
should be exnoscd. Sometime be
twecn now and the appearance
of these blossom clusters would
be the right lime to apply a lime
sulfur spray. Use one quart of
liquid lime sulfur or one pound
of dry lime sulfur in three gal
lons of water. This will give
good control of the red berry
mite both on boysenberries and
blackberries.
It is unfortunate that dande
lions are considered a weed in
stead of a flower. They are one
of our earliest blooming Dlants
and will always attract attention
with their bright yellow color.
As they do destroy the nice green
appearance of a lawn, they are
properly classed as a weed and
should be eliminated.
With present chemicals there
is really no need for anyone to
have dandelions in the lawn.
One light spraying or sprinkling
with 2,4-D will nearly eliminate
these weeds. One or two follow
up spot sprayings and you will
no longer need to worry about
them. 2,4-D used according to
the directions on the package
gives an excellent kill. This can
be applied either with a small
hand sprayer, or a small bottle
with a sprinkler can similar to
what the housewife uses to
sprinkle clothes can also be used
on small areas. This type of
sprinkler bottle Is available In
local food and seed stores.
Lawn Fertilization
Aids Weed Elimination
Going hand-ln-glove with the
elimination of lawn weeds is
lawn fertilization. Fertilizer ap
plied at the same time as the
weed killer not only invigorates
the lawn but it encourages the
lawn to fill in the area previous
ly occupied by the weed. This
makes it much more difficult for
weed seedlings to obtain a foot
hold. Of course, you should not use
fertilizer if you are not willing
to mow the' lawn more often.
The effect of the fertilizer is to
cause the grass both to grow
faster and to form a thicker turf.
This fertilization is especially Im-
nortant on those areas of the
lawn where the grass is thin.
This is quite common under
shade trees such as oak and wal
nut.
Use one nnund of ammonium
sulfate or four pounds of com
plete fertilizer on a 10x10 foot
square. A better procedure
would be to use half of this
amount and then make a repeat
application in about two months
ror thin lawns under trees, these
applications should be repeated
at two-month intervals through-
out the year, or until the lawn
becomes so vigorous that you
can no longer keep up with the
mower.

Cedar For Sailing ...
The wood of the great ocean-
going canooes of Northwest
Coast Indians, and the wood of
today's racing shells used by
college crews east and west, is
also the mainstay in the amaz
ing increase of small sailing
craft of North American water
ways.
This wood is the Western red
cedar.
Summer after summer the
large lakes and the bays of the
country are blossoming in more
white sails, with reflections dip
ping and speeding in wind
brusheil water.
The sail of old is still a mag
netic symbol of adventure to the
youth of the land. It spells peace
and relaxation and the beauty of
life in the outdoors to all but the
bleakest souls.
Small-craft builders every
where are awake to the business
prospects in this universal, age
old appeal of the wind-powered
small boat of wood. One nation
ally known boatbuilder is bank
ing on a product designed to
meet the sailboat wants of
everyday people with everyday
incomes.
Top Dreiiinq Of Sawdust
Helps Retain Moisture
On soils which pack and where
vou havp trouble keeping the
iawn moist for longer than a
day, you might wish to try a top
dressing of sawdust. Any saw
dust can be applied an inch deep
and the grass will come right
through It. This will form a good
much to retain moisture and it
will also give the turf a good
springy feeling underfoot.
After that when people walk
across the lawn it will no longer
pack the sou so hard that it will
neither take tin moisture when
the lawn is watered nor hold the
moisture afterwards. When the
sawdust Is used it is essential
that fertilizer be annlied: other
wise, the lawn will turn yellow.

Administratrix of the

The Pocock of Sail . . .
This is Norman J. Blanchard
of Seattle. He has been building
a variety of boats and small sail
ing craft for 40 years on Seattle
waterways. He is widely recog
nized as a master of the art of
designing and constructing craft
for cruising and racing and for
plain and fancy loafing under
sail.
Like George Pocock, renown
ed as a designer and builder of
racing shells for college crews,
Blanchard swears by Western
red cedar. He uses it for the
flesh, muscle and skin of the
boats he builds that is the
planking. For the fabrication of
masts and spars, Sitka spruce is
specified.
The news-interest feature of
(he 19S0 Blanchard program is
the boat that you or I or anybody
or ordinary income may own
and sail. And sail with safety,
let me hasten to add. This is a
class of sailing craft with iron
ballast keel and other safe
guards against capsizing and
sinking which are commonly
found in only the most costly
sailers. It has an over-all length
of 20 feet, and its base price is a
thousand dollars.
"Such types of pleasure boats
for the small family are comers
all over the country," Norman
Blanchard stoutly predicts.
"Young and old can enjoy such
a sailboat in security at small
expense. Once people realize
that yachting is not necessarily
for the rich only, the market
will grow fast.
Qualities At Core
"The special qualities of red
cedar for planking are at the
core of this vital prospect. It is
supple, tough, light for its
strength, friendly to tools, a nail
holder, resistant to weather and
age, and is a furniture wood in
its response to finish, taking
paints and stains handsomely. A
prize wood for racing shells, it
is Just as excellent for every
body's low-cost pleasure boat.
We are lucky to have it."
Another popular Blanchard
Sailer is the "flattie," which is
primarily a training boat for
racing. It is not built for com
fort or for those who worry
about capsizing. It is a boat for
the young adventurer on the
water.
Many builders of boats. North,
South, East, West, share the
faith of Norman Blanchard.
When spri- breaks again, wood
and canvas will be the holiday
means, recreation materials, for
more people than ever before,
while the rocket planes flash
and roar unnoticed overhead.
Sail, water and wind yet weave
a spell that even Superman may
not resist.
