Aphid Spray Due For Yard Plants The curled and rolled leaves on the backyard plum trees is due' to aphids.- These insects appear early in the year and while feeding on the! leaves have a poisoning affect which causes the leaves to roll and curl, according to Don Berry, county agent. Leaves which are already rolled cannot be corrected by spraying, however if aphids are not cleaned up as new leaves appear they will - be come infected. . Spraying the tree thorough ly with a Malathion solution arid repeating , this spray in about 10 days will generally give aphid control. . Aphid populations-are high on many of the ornamental trees and shrubs this spring, and they will continue to cause trouble until the hot weather dissipates them ui the middle of the summer. Repeated sprays now with Malathion will go a long way towards keeping your back yard plants insect free during this critical period. Sun Valley, Idaho-flJPB-Sec-retary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson said recently agricul ture is burdened with too much government, too much politics, and too little common sense. "The economics of the farm problem are simple," Benson said. "We need less govern ment in farming. We must quit trying to fix prices un- realistically. We must empha size markets, increased .effici ency, and competitive selling.

Hospitals Testing " Medical Technique ' Denver - (UPD - Several hos pitals across the country are testing a new medical techni que for killing isolated can cers with poison.' The technique was describ ed by Dr. J. J. Griffitts, Miami blood specialist, during a re cent post-graduate course at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Griffitts described the meth od this way: If a cancer or tumor is located in a patient's arm or leg or an organ, and hasn't spread into the system, his blood can be routed around the cancer, which is then treated with a profusion of poisons which may kill the growth. Griffitts said the potential of the cancer treatment tech nique is "great," on the basis of initial tests. Legacy Entertains Attorney's Friends Niagara Falls, N.Y.-tDPD-Fourteen friends of the late Edward F. Mahoney enjoyed a dinner and a day at the races on money left by the Niagara Falls attorney in his will.

This friendship meant so much to the attorney that he bequeath ed $100 each to the "round table regulars." His will also provided a lump sum of $800 which the goup was to spend on a "good time." Half of it was for an affair to include "wives and otherwise," $200 for a "lawyer's picnic" and $200 for a stag party. Mahoney spent this $200 on a dinner and an afternoon at the races.
