CORDY County Extension Agent tot Horticulture The annual earwig invasion is starting again at this time so if control measures are used now. best results will follow. Young earwigs generally hatch in late April and this year friey seem to be right on schedule. The young earwigs feed on leaves close to the ground until they are fairly well grown. Later in life thev will scatter aver a wide area and will feed on foli ar not onlv on the ground but up into bushes. They also be come more resistant to poisons. The next two weeks will be the vulnerable period in the life of the earwig for contral. Effective on Earwigs DDT snrays or dust are very effective on earwigs. They should be applied around found ations, in fence rows, plant bord ers and other places where the earwigs may be feeding or seek ing protection. A 5 per cent dust or a spray made by adding a heaping tablespoon of 50 per cen DDT in two gallons of water should be applied to these areas. A second application in ten days or two weeks would be desirable to renew the deposits of DDT. Using lots of material over a wide area will give the best results. This is necessary as ear wigs are wide spread and , if killed out in a small area those from autside areas will migrate in and the infestation will be about as bad as if no control measures were used. Aphids are also building up in large numbers now and these can readily be controlled by spraying with Malathion. On most aphids DDT is not only worthless but will actually cause an increase in aphids population so it should not be used. A tables poon of Malathion in two gal lons of water will give g6od control and a mixture of DDT and Malathion would be quite acceptable for this purpose.

As a life insurance advisor he owes a high professional duty toward his client, while, at the same time, he also occupies a position of trust and loyalty to his company. Only by observing the highest ethical balance can he avoid any conflict between these two obligations. By MRS.

The Family Council Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of Indue, a psychiatrist, a newspaper editor, a women's page editor and two newspaper writers. These consult with clergymen of all faiths and denominations. All letters arc held in complete confidence. . - - know I can save a great deal of money by buying certain items for storage when they are sell ing as specials and by avoiding those items that are abnormally high at the moment. My wife is willing enough that I go with her to the market on Saturday mornings to help with the bundles, but she doesn't want me to help with my judg ment. I think she is being un fair when she says I have no more right to interfere in the home than she would have to in terfere in the office. The home is supposed to be mine as well as hers. The Council: John is not wrong in his point of view, but he is employing very bad tactics. He no doubt knows more about shopping than his wife, this does not mean that he should impose his tastes on his wife.' Cooking and homemaking require considerable patience, and the work can become very tiresome if the person who does it is deprived of all decision making and reduced to the level of a kitchen helper. John would be much wiser if he were to let his wife absorb his knowledge of shopping lore gradually and perhaps subtly. Instead of winning her apprecia tion for his helpfulness, he is assuming an obnoxious role. Evelyn, on the other hand, should realize that her husband is not the only male who is tak ing a part in the family shop ping. When the children come along, she will be happy,, in deed, if her husband will be willing to take some of these chores off her hands. It is be coming quite common these days, what with the five-day week and improved merchan dising methods in food stores, for men to do much of the shop ping. The difficulty here is that John went at this a bit heavy hcndedly. (Copyright 1956. General Features Corp.) Evelyn I've got a real new lywed problem. John I shop better -than she. Evelyn I am a newlywed, and I have run into a problem that neither mother, nor the books nor my friends ever gave me any inkling about. I was prepared to have all kinds of dif ficulties with my husband, but not the kind I have run into. John simply will not let me run my kitchen, even though he was anxious enough that I quit my job so I could devote all my time to our home and our social life. He insists on deciding what to buy in the markets, and he has spent some money we re ceived for a wedding gift build ing a basement storage room for our groceries. He lets me do the dishwashing and cooking, but even there he insists not only on making up the menus but argues that cer tain ways of cooking are waste ful. I have asked him whether he would like it if I came to his office and told him how to do his work, but he says that I am being ridiculous. John My wife cannot get it into her head that shopping for the home is very close to the kind of work I do for a living. I am sure she has good taste and ill run a wonderful home, but shopping is ny specialty and I Daylight Sayings Starts on Week End Chicago (U.R) About 70 mil lion persons this weekend go on daylight saving " time.
