4 THURSDAY; APRIL 13, 1950 THE EAGLE, AROUND THE FARM la recent years most of the eoatrols for insects and diseases have been adapted to application of dusts. The home gardener can save considerable time if he arranges to apply dusts rather than spray. Control will gener ally be better because dusts are ■easy to apply than sprays. Con- VERNONIA. ORE, County Extension Agent trols will generally be better because dusts are easy enough to apply that the job will be done while sprays are often omitted because of the trouble. Codling moth or worms and scab of apples and pears can be controlled with a dust—so can cherry fruit fly. Large trees are easier to cover with a small duster and ladder than with a sprayer. All garden pests including aphids can be controlled with dusts. Flowers including roses can be kept free of disease and insects with dusts. For good sized home gardens investment in a good rotary bil lows duster will pay off in better control and less time needed. For small gardens and city homes a good plunger duster will serve satisfactorily. Bulletins are available that give recommendations for dusts that will replace sprays for insect and disease control. Fire prevention is not one of those things that you can finish up and forget. Fire can strike homes and farmsteads any day in the year. April is known as the time for traditional spring house cleaning. Cleaning up the house and grounds is an im portant part of fire prevention, so these suggestions are offered as fire prevention reminders for the month. Get rid of flammable rubbish.

Sparks on the roof cause hundreds of fires in Oregon. Clean the roof of moss and the gutters of leaves. Reroof when old shingles become curled and fuzzy. Dust and cobwebs can be a hazard near electrical ap pliances, lights and motors. A dust proof cover for lights in the barn is good insurance. Do not forget to clean up dust and lint around furnaces and smoke pipes and now is the time to do some thing about oil drips and about grease on the garage floor.
