JOHN C. McNA’IT, Mayor.
College Station -Victory gat'd
s at home will compete this
year with Soldiers’ caipps on dis-
tant battle fronts for the avail-
luile supply of sonny insecticides.
1 lie fighting men must have first
choice, and folks at’ home must
use carefully what they have.
According to Dr. H. li. John-
ston, entomologist' for the A. and-
M. College Extension Service, not
as much pytethruin and rotenone
as farmers could use will he avail-
able. These mild poisons have be-
cause they kill, insects without
leaving , objectionable residues.
The army needs millions Of
pounds of pyrethrum to protect
soldiers against mosquitoes and
other disease hearing insects.
Moreover, imports of pyrethrum
and rotenone, which are not harm-
ful to human -beings, are smaller
than had been expected.
On that account, Dr. Johnston
points out, civilians cannot get
pyrethrum for fly sprays in
homes nor for use as insecticides
celery and cucumbers, or for
fruit trees and ornamentals. How-
ever, it may he used for farm,
home and Victory gardens. Dairy
fanners and others can obtain it
for sprays for places where dairy
products are handled. Truck gard-
eners can get pyrethrum for
crops of the cabbage family, a.rid,
.to control leaf hoppers on beans,' ‘
potatoes and grapes. Growers can
get it for beet seed crops and to
kill the corn ear worm in swept
seed corn.
Dr. Johnston points out that
Hie re should be enough pyrelhrum
fin- those needs if it is used care-
fully. Oil. the other hand, he says,
there will be more nicotine insec-
ticides than usua.1, as well as
large ' supplies of arsenicals. The
Various nicotine ^materials’' will
come into more elusive use to
protect many crops from aphids
and other sucking insects. But he
cautions new gardeners and oth-
ers who .may lie using. various'
dusts and sprays for the first
time to' talk with county exten-
sion agents or garden leaders
;rtvrTrrf' materials to use 'ind how to
use them safely, Sinv- of them are
