> Control of vegetable insects is
not m difficult as many persons
Mam to think, says Dr. H. G. John-
ston, entomologist for. the A. and
. M. College Extension Service.
The ideal strategy is to wage an
atfonsive battle, beginning as soon
as the first invaders appear in the
Carden apd never giving them a
chance to become established! This
battle should continue at intervals
of four or five days until the ene-
' my is mopped up.
InStectjcides necessary for the
job ihcltide cryolite and calcium
anenKte W control flea beetles,
cucumber beetles, cabbage worms
and other insects which feed upon
the fruit and foliage of the (Hants;
nicotine sulfate or pyrocide for
plant lice, stink- bugs, squash bugs
and' othei-s which suck the juices
from leaves and stems; and paris
qgreen to make baits for cutworms,
aow bugs and mole crickets.
Generally, it is easier to control
garden insects with a duster, but
good results also can be obtained
with a sprayer 1 if done .throughly.
Information on constructing a sim-
ple home made duster from, a tin
can, broomhandlc and cheesecloth
may be obtained from the county
"extension agents.
Plant lice, Dr. Johnston says, are
probably the most common and de-
structive vegetable pests. They at-
tack almost all crops, especially
turnips, radishes, mustard, cab-
bage and other similar plants. They
may be controlled by using a five
percent rotenone-sulphur mixture,
or nicotine sulfate, as a spray or

dust. Begin 88 soon as the pests ap-
pear and thoroughly cover the
lower surface of the leaves. These
insects pre killed only when ac-
tually hit by the insecticide. In ad-
dition, destroy fetalks as soon as
the crop is harvested in order to
eliminate breeding places for lice
and bugs.

As the first .week of meat ration-
ing draw to a close, complaints
about “excess” stocks of meat
were coming in from manv differ-
ent points in the region. After.sev-
eral weeks of staring at barren
counters, housewives and butchers
again began to feel that we are
still in bountiful America, although
the country is at war.
There were evidences that many
types of meat were moving slow-
ly, some markets reporting that
they were fearful that stocks
would spoil. Only advice that the
Office of Price Administration
could offer was to the effect that
consumers should spend their
points regularly and should not
wait until the end of the month.
This way the supply of meat in
the butcher’s counter will be mov-
ing regulariy and will stay- fresh-
er. 1
Red Stamp Schedule
OPA spokesmen were quick to
point out that rationing books do
not produce meat—they merely in-
sure equal distribution of the sup-
ply available. It may be well to
remember, they pointed out, that
stocks may decline again in the
future, because the Federal govern-
ment’s sqt-aside order hap been
suspended for two weeks in order
to move a supply of meat imp-mar-
kets. -J *' 3 ,
Again here is how the red stamps
in War Ration Booli Two are to be
used: '
A stamps, worth 16 points, be-
came valid on March 29 "and ex-
pire on April 30.
B stamps, worth 16_ points, be-
came vnlixl on April 4 and expire on
April 30.
C stamps, worth 16 Tromts be-
came valid April 11 and expire
April 30. ’
D stamps, worth 16 points, be-
come valid April 18,and expire
April 30.
E stamps, worth 16 points, be.-
come. valid ApriT 25 and-expire al ts
date yet to be announced.*
It should be remembered that
the red stamps are also used fo-r
edible fats and oils (including
butter), cheeses and canned fish.
To be Less Meat
Everyone should know by now
that civilians may expect less meat
this year than they ate last year.
Rationing has been instituted to
assure that each American gets
what he needs out of our reduced
civilian supplies, but it will be
difficult ’ to guarantee adequate
diets unless black markets are
suppressed. For black markets not
only deprive the average citizen of
gathering

roly
to the utilization of extremely val-
uable parts of carcasses since black
market operators are likely to use
only the most easily marketable
cuts and throw the rest away.
The farmer may feel that Fed-
eral meat regulations as they ap-
ply to hi*l are foolish, but they are
part of a definite program aimed
at stamping out the black market
operator and aimed nt getting meat
to move through normal, legitmatc
channels again.
The provision that all dealers in
live animals must have a permit
to buy and sell will do much to
stop the black market miaehief.
If a farmer gets an order from a
dealer with whom he is not famil-
iar, and if the offer la above the
level of legitimate dealers, there
is a good chance that he is talking
with a man connected with a black
market. So the wise and patriotic
thing to do is to ask the dealer.to
show his permit.
